      I had the most awful experience which really panicked and frightened me and I can’t understand why after such a long time?!
      i woke up in the middle of the night to hearing my ex shouting my name to wake me up. It was how he used to shout my name and it really freaked me out!
      I even checked my home. I just felt a sense of panic in my chest, like I couldn’t breathe!
      I’m not crazy!! Since that experience I’ve been getting to sleep fine, but waking up for a few hours in the middle of the night.
      I did have really bad insomnia when I was with him and afterwards, along with sleep paralysis…EVERY NIGHT!!
      it took a long time to get a full nights sleep and just wondering why now?
      I told a friend and she just said “well, you did spend a long time together!”
      Not the comment I wanted to hear really.
      Has anyone experienced anything similar?
      I’ve really beat myself up over this. Why is he still there in the background. :-/

      Have you seek professional help? This sounds like sth that professionals can help. There are times I dream of abuse and that environment, leaving me stressed and anxious, and also lonely, since seems no one understands, so I tend to do things I love that can relax my mind, such as having a good meal, listing to music, and it helps.
