PTSD ruined my 4th of July

Yesterday I tried to go to a firework show for the first time in over two years in the end I found out that’s not a good idea and here why: I have PTSD from an abusive relationship in my past and the abuse included guns he loved so much. The end result was a panic attack of full body spasms that lasted hours apon hours. Today I’m in so much pain I don’t wanna move but have to I wanna scream and am so tired I just wanna sleep.

Hugs. Fireworks are hard for a lot of people. I hope your body loosens back up soon. Can you take a relaxing bath to soothe your muscles?

I’m sorry. Maybe a guided relaxation video then. One of the ones that walks you through tensing and relaxing your muscles in sequence.

@Ninjastar it’s okay. I will try that later I’m kinda just blah right now and my CBD water/lip balm is helping some
