Hi,
I'm Jacqui 42, and my main problem is anxiety (GAD), but think I may be sufferring from PTSD this year. This year my Dad died, then I was sexually assaulted. My now ex boyfriend didn't take it very well, has turned it round in his head that I just had an affair. Ended up having to call the police on him (which I wouldn't do lightly) That was months ago and I haven't even been able to go into town without panicking and feel controlled by fear. On a positive note I've been doing a lot of work myself (I've only just got an appointment for CBT through the system Months later, isn't that ridiculous) and I've been listening to Carollyn Myss Self exteem CDs and was feeling so much stronger.
Then I went into town this Friday (which is the 1st time since September when the bouncers in the pub I was called the police on my ex a couple of times and he still didn't get charged) It was a great night until the end when my ex turned up and had a go and I lost it. A lot of anger at him came out, and I've spent the weekend in tears. After being able to go into town again through listening to CDs, and self exploration, I feel like I can't go into town again.
I'm determined not to let him knock me back and hope I can use this forum not only for support, but to report on my progress, as I start work again on my self exteem and confidence and can offer some positivity as well.
Thanks
