help!!!

I recently left my abusive ex fiancé and I’ve been experiencing horrible anxiety idk why and what triggers it anymore. Went to the er last night and never in my life had I ever felt the way I felt last night. Seems like everything triggers it now. It’s like afraid of things I never once used to be afraid of. Idk what else to do to calm down anymore. Please help! I also don’t have no family or friends besides my children 😣

This is ironic, but your children's emotions and feelings are important now. I know it is easy for me to say but difficult for you to think, but there is no harm in trying.

First of all, I’m so sorry to hear about the abusive relationship you were in and I’m proud of you for getting out!

It sounds like your body still feels on guard even though there’s nothing externally triggering it the way there was before. Bodies aren’t always as quick to learn we are safe even if your logical mind knows that. It might take time but it may help to walk around your new space and remind yourself you are safe. Touch things, look at things, connect with objects and people around you to see they are not hurting you. Wishing you peace and a sense of safety.

You have been conditioned and controlled to the stage of not knowing how to cope but you just tell yourself your brave and them kids need you just one day at a time and I know you will get there keep the faith ❤️

Maybe finding a book from your local library could help since you will be busy reading the book the thoughts might lessen...

Leaving anybody is a terrible experience. your whole world is turned upside down. You miss the companionship and security of it, even if it was abusive. Took me a lot of time
