Sufferer Fear of going out places after been physical assaulted

[Abbysmom06$]

First time here.Diagnosis PTSD after an assault I am suffering same symptoms of fear getting out places. I feel like everybody wants to hurt me anytime. All the time hypervigilant. I can not stand the anxiety, náusea, cephalea, palpitations and tremor. So every time I feel like that I decide to run to my car, lock the door and go back to home. Any help please? Thanks for having me here.

I can relate exactly to what you are feeling! Before the armed robbery I was victim of occurred I was very independent, sociable, and loved getting out and going places. Now I have to talk myself into doing so and when I do attempt it I almost always end up having a full blown panic attack and have to come home. It is awful and I'm so sorry you are going through this! I am seeing a trauma specialist which is helping but I'm impatient to have my old self back. Are you seeing a therapist that specializes in PTSD?

Sounds so familiar to me. I know how frustrating and scary it is. Like you want so badly to be able to do the normal every day things you used to take for granted, but then here it comes...anxiety and fear, terror, physical symptoms that you probably don't see coming and would give about anything to have go away. I keep telling myself it will get better. It has to. Be patient with yourself and take care. Hope you are in a good place on this day and if not a good day is around the corner for you. I'm sorry you are struggling. It's a tough road.
