PTSD
Today I’ve felt like I used to (which isn’t good) I’ve had the feeling he’s going to come back and hurt me again. It’s made me feel unsafe in general and especially when I’m alone. Just to make it worse I had a call from an unknown number and it was just someone breathing. So now I’m probably not going to be able to sleep properly for months again. I was having 12 hours of sleep a week months ago and I got back up to 20-25 and I’ve been doing better but now I’m scared to close my eyes tonight. I don’t even understand PTSD properly I’m on week 4 of CBT and I know it’s not going to just fix me but I need something to work with because I have things happened to me which I don’t understand. This being one
It’s good to hear that you’ve been able to sleep more recently, but I totally get how something like this can knock you back to square one, or feel like it. PTSD is so complex, and sometimes, it feels like the progress you’ve made gets overshadowed by things you can’t control. It's understandable that you're feeling unsafe, especially when past trauma is still haunting you. It’s really hard to navigate that space between knowing you’re making progress, and still being faced with triggers or moments that pull you back into fear.
