I guess my biggest problem is anxiety

From the various traumatic incidents that happened last year, and my r*pist stalking me on social media, I get in this weird feeling where I just freeze and grab my head and my pulce starts racing and basically I’m having a panic attack. What happened last year really messed with my head. (Roommate attacked my bf and other roommate and tried to kill them by strangling) I just don’t know how to move past a lot of these events that freak me out.

Oh dear, that’s not a pleasant situation to be in.

Have you taken any steps to avoid this reoccurring in the future?

Well I see a psychiatrist for hour long sessions and I don’t think I’ve brought up this specific incident, but Ill have to make a point at my next appt to talk about it. It’s just kind of embarassing and the memory is hard to deal with.

may not be anxiety, but PTSD, or both.

I was taking 4 pills for anxiety at one point.

you can get a certain therapy for PTSD, but these therapists are hard to find.

sounds like you’re having flashbacks, that must be awful. sorry.

I’ll definitely be bringing it up at my next appt.
I take klonopin for anxiety and it works really well just takes about thirty minutes to set in. But just knowing the pill will work eases some of my initial anxiety/panic.
If it’s ptsd I wouldn’t be surprised, the second half of my life has been littered with traumas.
