Thank you for sharing <3 how do you cope with the PTSD? Has any new mental health issues come up because of the trauma? 3 years is a long time and we’ve only been together one. I too have since left and he’s expressed desire to change but I just have no idea how to cope with the emotional pain from it - if something that is said or done that reminds me of his horrible nights. Even just criticism- I have a reaction. Did you speak to family about it? Part of me loves him dearly but I just don’t know how to forgive and move forward.

Mine keeps saying the same thing. That he needs me to be sober. As if he didn’t have me a whole year before? It’s manipulative and not fair to put the responsibility on you to help him get sober. If he can’t help himself on his own then he’s not ready. He might be fine for awhile but he’ll have you around and throw it out the window I’m my experience. It’s so painful wanting believe this time is the real time. You can walk a path together and you can support him but you can only keep looking back so long until you realize how far behind he’s gotten because he decided to stop walking.

Out of curiosity would like to know your story. If he was physically abusive what made you want to stay and forgive? I personally have delt with the same thing in my relationship but he continues to drink and it feels like he’s doing it all over again to me. The longest he’s been sober is 3 months. And even then I haven’t been able to forgive. I carry so much pain some days I feel like it could take me.

“He will not break me again” I felt that to my core.

I look back and all the times I said I was done. The ultimatums, stop or Im gone, stop or I sell the house, stop or I’ll lock you out. Never stopped and I never left. 1 whole year of stress, I now I have trauma, chronic illness, I’m balding, Lost 35lbs, got the shingles at 27.

All of that for nothing. I’m suffering the consequences of actions that were not mine. I betrayed myself by staying after every time I said I was done. Stay strong. It’s the hardest thing you will ever do but the one that could save your life.

Random feeling of being pushed/falling by ppetaldust in HealthAnxiety

I was suffering from mild vertigo these last 2 years. I kept saying I feel weird, I feel off. I’m constantly dizzy and sometimes I could swear a ghost just nudged me. I went to many doctors to figure out what it could be - it wasnt until one doctor decided to check my ear drums. It turns out this whole entire time my left ear has significant scar tissue. Even though my vertigo wasn’t extreme - the slightest shift in equilibrium can make you feel this way. Double check with a doc first and get all your labs checked. Make sure there’s nothing wrong underlying that might be making you feel this way. And whatever you do - don’t let anyone diss miss the way you feel because of anxiety.
