My story starts in 2013 when my Husband of 18 years committed suicide when I tried to get him help from local law enforcement several times prior they didn't believe me. He hung himself. A close person I new went with me on a business trip several months later to find out I was drugged and we were married. Our marriage was annulled but the three years he verbally and physically abused me on Jan 23, 2016 he tried to kill me to the point of strangulation in front of my children holding us against our will he injured several police and such needless to say. I have been asked how do I feel I look over my shoulder waiting for him. I know he's in Jail facing 71 years I fear he's coming for me I wake up every night sweating I talk to my friends about it . I smile in front of my children I am afraid everyday. My neck hurts my shoulder hurts I am afraid to take to many pain pills in case he has someone come kill me as he reminded me everyday for years. What do I do? When I am asked how are you today I smile and say I am fine cause I really don't know how to feel. They started me on Fluoxetine I got sick now the want to start me on sertriline Zolofe to see if that helps I don't sleep cause of the nightmares. This is my life but I still smile cause I have three beautiful children and a wonderful officer who saved my life after the 911 call by a life saver.

No wounder you feel like this you had a lot to deal with I think the threat the person told you was to scare you I when I was being rapped fir two years he allways threatened than even now I'm looking over my shoulder all the time have you seen a counsellor have you ever been tested for ptsd I'm no counsellor but it sounds from what your describing you may have it tell your doc how you really feel and they get you the help you need I think you done amazing after all this and you still bring up your kids like me I have children as well and it's hard I have flashbacks all the time it's physically draining if you need to messeage me feel free too take care
 
@Meblu2u Welcome! :)

My ex was sentenced to 140 years in 2011. Even though I know he is in jail, it has taken time to learn to "believe" that at all levels and not live in a constant state of fear. Continue with therapy and find what works for you. It does get better.
 
Welcome to the forums!

What you went through is truly awful, and I hope that this place helps you deal with it better and get better in general :hug:

I'm also starting Zoloft, in a few days :)

Good luck and welcome
