Hi there..It's completely normal dear for you to feel anxiety especially coming from an abusive. relationship And oh by the way I would like to congratulate you for having the courage to step out from that darkness. You didn't deserve that kind of relationship, you deserve to be respected and love. Going back, Being in an abusive relationship is like taking drugs. You know its not good for you but you keep on wanting it. Then the worst is it becomes a cycle. At this moment it is important to have a sense of worthiness and belongingness. Reconnect with people, love yourself, treat yourself, play, go back being like a happy kid. ;)

Sounds about right. It will pass, eventually... but counselling and medication might be a good thing.

I don't think people know what they're doing to us. they operate in the moment. They aren't conscious beings: they don't ever observe themselves in their own actions. Even if they're complaining about 'you' they don't even know you from a bar of soap. They're just fighting the world I think.

So it's not personal, but that doesn't help with the ptsd. :D

Hello, anxiety is a feeling which can be experienced by anyone. You should regularly do some cardio exercise, swimming, and other active activities. Take enough sleep, avoiding caffeine and do things which you like.

dear me don't go back.

Don't go ANYWHERE till you are making a forward move. Even the word 'back' sends shivers down my spine.

Sit still till the world has become clear again. thing about anxiety is it gives us urges to race off and make this huge decision, and that huge decision. And we can be given the run around by our own choices for decades.

Stay still. Spend time with yourself and let some of this stuff out and gone. And then, if you feel you caused the problems in the relationship, maybe you want a relationship with this person. Or maybe you feel that of all the people you could choose for a relationship, this probably isn't top of your list.

But you won't be able to make that choice till you have sat still for a while, and let time offload all of the delayed reactions.

Let yourself get up to date. :)
