I'm still a little jumpy when sudden noises occur, but the nightmares and aggitation and insomnia has calmed down quite a bit in just a couple of months. What I've noticed is when I distanced myself emotionally and physically as much as I have or can, I have given myself space and time to strengthen my heart in order to heal even just a little and as the saying goes 'every little bit helps'! That is so true and I didn't used to think it was at all. I'm living with one of the reasons I have PTSD and that is my bf/fiance of almost 10 years. However, I was diagnosed way before he and I got together because of my ex husband and late ex step dad. Though my current significant other isn't physically or sexually abusive, he is still very narcissistic and verbally, emotionally, mentally abusive to me. What I am and have been doing though to help myself become stronger is no longer sleeping in the same room with him at all and I've been praying a lot to God for that little bit more of help. It seems to be working and I feel I'm more grateful too for what blessings I have as well. I pray every night that God continues to help me thru my struggles even without outside support fro anyone else. That has made me realize and reaffirm you cannot count on anyone else but Him for aide like everyone has told me over the years and that I've always deeply believed, too! I hope that my testimony and openness has helped you that has read this thru to here! If you'd like to message or friend me, please don't hesitate. The more support, the better!
