Hi my name is Darius I am 24 years old. I have recently exited a very abusive relationship with my ex boyfriend who happened to suffer from sociopathy. I have serious symptoms of PTSD since the trauma and the betrayal happened. I am hoping this forum will give me guidance and help me to move on from my painful past. I love the great outdoors, I live in the western half of the US. If anyone is well versed in mental health regarding moving on after being discarded by a sociopath please message me.

Hi Darius, I could say you've had a lucky escape but you probably don't want to hear that as you obviously loved this guy and we can't help who we fall in love with!! I have had ptsd but it was due to an emergency operation 10 weeks ago, initially I was told I had gastritis but it turned out to be a lot more than that. My point being I understand how it makes you feel. The sociopath part I haven't had experience in that area. I'm not an expert, just a normal every day person like you. All I can say is it will get better in time, we've all joined this forum because we want to talk about stuff and find answers, sometimes that's easier when you don't know the people your talking to. No one judges you, they just listen and help as best as they can.youve had a lot to deal with. That's what it is now!! Your past!! So today and each new day is your fresh start to a happier place. Small steps they may be but you will get there. For all the bad people in this world there are many good ones. You were very unlucky. I believe something good comes out of every bad situation even if it's to realise you won't make the same mistakes again. Keep your mind occupied, when you find yourself dwelling on bad stuff do things that make you feel happy. I'm not saying it will be easy for you but be determined and you've suffered enough from that relationship so now you need to take control so he can't hurt you anymore and get better👍
