Confident
Last weekend I decided to go to the cinema with a few friends I have recently made. Therapy had been going well and I was slowly moving out of the bubble I had created. Beforehand I couldn't go tot the cinema as it scared me that I was stuck in a dark room with strangers. I went in with one of them as the rest stayed outside to buy popcorn and we were both happily chatting whilst waiting. Suddenly I look up and I see my abuser walk in....
All I remember is feeling fear spread throughout me and then the lights go out. I panicked and the next minute I was outside sobbing frantically. Things haven't been the same since. I feel like all that progress has gone as I'm back to how it used to be, when I thought I'd gotten better. How do I explain this to these new friends? They don't know about my past. I can't sleep again. All I keep thinking it about my abuser and I don't feel safe!
