Thank you for sharing... some people may not understand, but it's important for us to 'take up space' as people who struggle daily, and hourly without it being obvious to anyone. I hear you, I see you.
I love the end of your essay, as you are rebounding quicker... this? This is healing. It used to take me days to rebound after extreme panic, now it simply takes the amount of time for my adrenaline to subside. VICTORY!!!!
I have moved states away almost two years ago and I still have bouts with PTSD when I go out because of my abusive ex and the survivor need to want them back, but know it's best to avoid them.
My ex has a very common physical profile from head to toe and many tend to wear similar clothing (which is more popular up north for sure with the temperatures).
However I still wince physically when I catch someone and I'm usually with family who never met her so it's not like they can notice.
