I have complex ptsd from prolonged domestic violence. i was walking down the street downtown one day towards where my car was parked. and i heard this girl crying, and screaming at the top of her lungs, as this angry mean dude was yelling at her, and wouldn't let go of her. she just kept screaming and crying and trying to get away as he yelled at her in an angry tone of voice. it reminded me exactly of myself last year when i was in that same situation so many times, it reminded me of when i was screaming and crying, and he wouldnt let go of me or get away from me. i could feel that girls pain, because ive been through the same thing. i got very anxious, and dizzy, and felt like i was going to pass out. i felt sick. i sat down in my car. it seemed like it was happening miles away from me. but when i looked up, it was right there in front of me, the car parked right in front of mine, and there were blue lights and cops and everything. i was shocked that it was going on right in front of me, because it had seemed like it was miles away, it was like i came back into reality. i dont know how to explain it. but i just felt very anxious and sick after that. after i sat in my car for a while, i was finally able to drive home.
**and why would it seem like it was so far away...until i looked up and realized it was right in front of me?
