Severe anxiety

sunnyLand9164 April 22nd

I find it hard to remember much from my days anymore. Sometimes feel like i’m always in fight or flight. It’s been getting better after leaving a previous mentally and verbally abuse relationship but i still struggle with some things especially in my new relationship. I always feel a sense of guilt as if im doing something wrong or have done something wrong for example i worry i somehow cheated and dont know, even tho i never have or have even wanted to. i think this comes from constantly being accused and manipulated into thinking i did something bad in my previous relationship so he could have reason to bully me. How do i overcome constantly feeling guilt and worry? Even if i see someone on the street who looks familiar (probably seen them in my job or something) I’ll think i did something awful. It’s completely unrealistic and my friends always reassure me but it just doesn’t help. Unfortunately this isn’t the only thing i struggle with it changes most week, my brain always needs to be anxious. but it’s what im struggling with at the moment and it’s really brining me down

It's clear you've been through a lot, and it's understandable that you're struggling with feelings of guilt and worry after leaving an abusive relationship. It takes time to heal from such trauma. Surround yourself with supportive friends and consider seeking therapy to help process your experiences and develop coping strategies. You deserve kindness and understanding as you navigate through these challenging emotions.
