Coping with PTSD and avoiding reliving cycles.
Hey,
This is my first time posting, because honestly I haven't needed to until now.. this time of year is usually hard and I was finding that I've been dealing with it incredibly well.
A few weeks ago I left my partner after he cheated, Im in the process of moving state so having to uproot my life and pack everything I own again, I also have my own business and have had an influx of clients so just incredibly busy right now.
I feel I've been so busy that everything just seemed noisy and was distracting me from feeling anything negative which was great... I'm on a business trip right now by mhself, alone in a hotel with all the time to myself to think.
Right now I know the feelings I'm feeling are only temporary as is my current living situation, but in the past this time of year is when I was diagnosed with PTSD on top of my depression, an anniversary of an event, I would usually just run, drop my clients, refund the money and run, avoid doing work etc.
Right now I know I can't do that. I've been paid, I've started most things but haven't completed much and I'm just feeling that flight creeping back.
I'm in a good space in my life compated to previous years, I don't really know what I'm asking, maybe just for someone to reaffirm that this is normal and spread some positivity, because that would be really nice right now.
Thank you x

Good for you for leaving someone who didn't treat you the way you deserved ❤ It's good to know your worth. I hope you're OK now 😊
