      For a year or so after I became ‘free’ I was euphoric. Since then the abuse is really affecting me. I have nightmares most nights. I feel low all of the time. I have panic attacks – I just had to come home after attempting to attend a lecture at university. What’s happening to me? I can hardly leave the house these days. Last year I was going to fitness classes, joined a singing group, was happy at university. I don’t understand this……

      I totally understand how you are feeling. I guess our awful memories catch up with us and it’s our bodies way of dealing with it.
      It helps me plan one thing to look forward to every day -however small, also to just take little steps and not try to plan ahead. I focus on what I’m doing for the next few hours or if really bad the next 15mins,
      It does get easier, you’ve gone through so much.
      Counselling helped me.
