I am not dating others. I need to get healthy from this experience. It put me in unbalanced mode. I am not sure she will come back in a romantic way and to be honest, I won’t be able to handle this “black out” again. I am realizing my needs and this doesn’t come close.

Oh man, I’m sorry @Feelinghelpless. It’s been three months for me. My strategy the past week has been to just let her go (in my expectations and hoping she will come back). She needs space and really I can focus on me again. It took awhile to get here but I’m focusing on myself with no...

From what I have been reading is this typical. She was triggered and pushed me away completely. Told me she will communicate when she is ready. What does this all mean?

Hi, I am so thankful there is a community to ask questions and get more information on something I have no knowledge (but trying to read as much as I can now). I recently triggered my girlfriend with PTSD, she ran and eventually texted me to say she didnt feel safe and wasn't coming home. I...
