Yes: all of these symptoms suggest significant trauma. Over time these may become chronic symptoms of PTSD. There must be some way you can seek help. Is there an adult in your family or community you can speak with in confidence? Is there a shelter you can go to? Are you in school? Is there a school counselor you can see? If you cannot leave the situation for fear of your safety, at least speak a trusted adult or spiritual counselor to help with coping. Work through with this individual a plan for you top prepare to leave the situation safely. Some resources in India are http://www.sawnet.org/orgns/violence.php#India http://sambhali-trust.org

Danger: you have classic signs of depression and for now, would talk with friends and confidants until you can get to a health care professional to start you on antidepressants. You need to get out of your situation right away. Restraining order on the individual if it is your house. If not get yourself to a safe house such as a woman shelter. Get a psychologist/counselor/soical worker and psychiatrist.

You can Seek help!: Your life depends on it. The solution here is to remove the abuser. There is not much self care to improve these symptoms. Please see a mental health professional as soon as possible. They will help you with your anxiety and sleep as well as help you take steps to protect yourself and your family.
