So I recently realized that the way that I feel about a certain situation is post traumatic stress disorder. It has been realy hard for me to figure that out because normally I am not a sensitive person. I deal really well with stressful/emergency situations. But apparently, sometimes afterwords, it comes back to haunt me.
This situation is about a person who didnt sexually assault me but still manipulated, threatened, emotionally abused, stole from, lied to etc. me over a period of 8 months. We weren't dating, just living in the same space (except for when I left to squat because I couldn't handle being around them). the situation culminated in them pulling a gun on my friend and fellow squatter and us throwing them out etc.
But now when I think about them I freak out. I still feel really threatened by them. When I think they might be looking at something I have online I really freak out- blood rushing to the ears, I get shaky, headaches, lots of anxiety etc. This wasn't happening for a while because they moved and were out of my life, and now they are sort of starting to get into the same circles.
What would you do?
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with ptsd/panic attacks etc. associated with trauma/violation/extreme fear?
I'm not usually scared of anyone, but they also threatened to kill my dogs numerous times, and that is more upsetting than a threat against me.
