It's not your fault he hurt you. You need to know that.

Remember your breath.

PTSD changes a lot over time, and what you're experiencing is very common for survivors in the early stages of PTSD. What you're experiencing will change.

What helped me most when I was experiencing this sort of PTSD was self-conducted art therapy. I got out a sketchbook and markers/pens, and I drew. My favorite kind of marker was a brush-pen. All the joy of painting, and all the ease of marker drawing. We can make beautiful art out of our trauma, and making art gets you focused in a way that is really healthy.

You're doing a good job surviving the aftermath. I hope you can find acceptance for where you're at; and I'd like to give you the perspective that you will move through trauma healing, and you won't always feel this way.
