Pls don’t reply to this: get therapy, I know I’m trying it’s just very expensive. I’m just looking for support from other girlies who suffer with PTSD from DV relationships. I’ve been going through it the past 6 months with relentless nightmares

Best advice I can give is to talk about it with your therapist, friends, family, or even just to a pet. You’re having more panic attacks because you’re constantly in fight or flight. Try going on a walk once a day, it doesn’t have to be a long one. This will help get some of that extra energy and stress out of your body. You will get through this

I have ptsd from other things but when I wake up from nightmare i started to listen to headspace sleep cast. I can't say that they work for eveyone but I've been able to get sound sleep it kinda just puts me in a different mind space and keeps going so my brain keeps processing sending different (it's kinda like a story, it's hard to explain)

Any tips with how to deal with it or how to find peace and calm in the storm? It’s made my anxiety and panic attacks sky rocket. I feel broken and worthless. I’m proud of myself for leaving but damn do I feel damaged

Focus on getting through each day and be proud for yourself that you did. Taking it day by day helped me a lot. Try to be kind to yourself, you’ve made it this far you can make it through this

I just feel horrible that I talk about it with my current partner and he tells me that I’m not a burden and he’s here to listen to me and be here for me; but I feel selfish almost for involving him. If that makes sense?
