Hey all, few years since I left. Felt like I put a lot of work into to build up a new life for myself, but ever since I’ve had this feeling as though I am clinging onto my ‘new life’. It feels like a constant anxiety where if I stop putting the effort in, it’s all going to fall away. Anyone else felt the same and found a way to deal with this?
On the positive … those longing feelings I had for my ex have gone. I remember asking on here how long it would take for it to go, but it has for me now. I don’t think of him and miss him or love him. I miss some things ie feeling part of a family but not him 🙌🏼

Hi orchid7,
It’s understandable that you would be feeling anxious and insecure in the life that you’ve had to fight so hard to build for yourself. You’ve been through trauma with abuse and the impacts of that can take time to work through. I’m sure that you’re not alone in feeling this way and hopefully other users will be able to share their experiences with you soon. In the meantime, you might find the information from Mind about anxiety helpful.
It’s so good to read that you’re able to see progress in your recovery and that the longing for your ex is gone.
Take care and keep posting,

Can’t say I can help at all….. but I understand the clinging to the new life concept. I am about to start mine in a new town and feel the same way about that. Not sure how different I will feel once I get there but for now I’m clinging on hard to getting there and trying to make sure it doesn’t all fall apart x
