If you are constantly remembering the rape and/or dreaming about it, and this causes a significant amount of anxiety , or if you are avoiding situations and people because of it, then you are probably showing some signs of it. I think some people become withdrawn and others act out in a promiscuous way, both extremes being a way to feel as if you have some control. There are numerous other ways in which you might be showing signs of trauma , from a newly emerging eating disorder to difficulty sleeping. I am sorry you had to go through that. Even if you do find that you were traumatized, there is hope and there is help.
