How can i love again after the past
hey everyone. idk if i can share this here but i hope so because i am really confused.
I was in an abusive relationship last year, and it was horrible.
Gladly after around 12 months i had enough courage to leave him and i havent gotten back to him since.
I cant tell if i have ptsd, and i wont diagnose it by myself bc i know only a doctor can do that, but this or that way i have to deal with a lot of flashbacks and panic attacks.
Now after sometime i met a new guy and with some time i trusted him my full story and he still cared and wanted to support me.
He also told me now that it could be possible that he ll catch feelings later in this friendship.
The problem is, i feel like its too early. I feel like i wouldnt be able to be in a relationship even if i wanted to.
I trust him fully with my heart, but i am so confused at what to do.
Has someone here maybe experienced a new relationship after they lived in an traumatic relationship in the past?
I feel so alone and really dont know what to do.
i hope you all have an amazing day! take care
Hey there, I see that you are going through a really confusing time making sense of things after getting out of a hard relationship a year ago. I really think you were brave to get up and leave and havent been back since. I guess you will have a lot of flashbacks and may have you thinking whether you have ptsd but it could be nice you see a doctor for that. I see that you have been dealing with panic attacks perhaps when memories come up. It is nice to see youve met a nice new guy and you trusted him to share your story. I see that you find it too earlier to start anything new and I imagine he understands that too. I see that you are confused about what you could do and yes dealing with something that you alone dont get can make it rather lonely. I have experience with moving on from sort of a relationship but perhaps we could focus more on your experience and later I could share. Feel free to message me here or send me a message by 1 on 1.
