CPTSD: I made it out... What now?

...See more Hey everyone, This is my first post to a group on 7cups but I thought maybe some of you would have some good experience. Here's the short version of my story over the last couple years. Basically, I've been living in a pretty uncomfortable living situation for about 2 years. My housemates who at first, I saw as friends, slowly became more and more controlling. They gas-lit me many times, became far too involved in every aspect of my life, became verbally abusive and there was at least one circumstance where things got physical. I finally managed to get myself out of the situation a couple weeks ago. The first few days were rough. I was still on edge. Every sound in the house freaked me out. It was weird to be able to focus my mind on something else other than just being anxious about what they would do or say next. I'm still struggling with this. I'm trying to remind myself that I'm safe now. But my mind just seems so caught up in it all. Does anyone else have a similar experience after leaving an abusive situation? Will the anxieties go away or do I just have to accept they're part of me now? Thanks for your support!
