Everywhere I turn

[Freedompoppy]

Hi everyone,

Am I the only one feeling that everywhere I turn it’s abuse, the tv, the radio everyone talking about it. It has really got me down this week? Has anyone experienced night terrors after they left?
Thanks for reading

Hey Poppy. Yes, I am finding all the news and debate about this a bit triggering at the moment; it’s everywhere and feels impossible to avoid the subject! It has definitely got to me emotionally. I feel like it has set me back a bit in my recovery (had flashbacks and nightmares again which I haven’t for a little while).

It is hard to explain to others that you don’t want to discuss it or hear about it. I do care very much, but I just can’t get into that topic.I feel very angry at the moment.

I did have night terrors for a while after I left, I was lucky they stopped; now I just have regular bad dreams. I think it’s part of the brain trying to process your trauma.

Thank you for replying, I’m thought it was just me thinking this way and with the night terrors. I have been to the drs and Iv been put on medication. The news just makes me angry that he has got a way what he’s done to me. I’m in my trama therapy for the sexual abuse and i feel it’s making me worse too. This is the first time I have stayed no contact for this long and I’m finding it all fo hard what affect this has had on my health. That and I’m aware he’s with someone new and i can do this to someone else. Why wasn’t I strong enough to see it through with the police 😣
