I think eventually it does get easier to cope with, as long as you are open to accepting your feelings and dealing with them as they pop up rather than hiding from.

For me, it comes and goes, normally triggered by seeing HIM. These bad times lst anywhere from a week to the current one which has lasted over a month. I think it depends on your mood before you're triggered.

Please know that the more you can talk about your feelings and accept that this is a part of your life now and that you will forever have it in the back of your mind, the sooner you will begin to heal.

Have you spoken to anyone about what happened to you? I recomend that you do, whether its a freinds or a professional, build yourself a support network so that when things do get tough you have someone to turn to.

Please know that I am here for you through this, and if there is anything I can do for you please let me know.

I can't lie and say that one day it'll just go away. But eventually you'll get to a point where it's easier to deal with. It'll start going to the back of your head. One day you'll realize that you didn't think about it that day. It never goes away, but it DOES get easier.
