I have suffered from ptsd since my early childchil. IIfirst was traumatized when my mother lit herself on fire. I was 5 years old. By eleven after her being Hospitalized on numernum occasions We were abruptly abandoned by my father and placedpin foster care . I was when preyed upon by back pedophile for Seven years. My life as a child was sheer terror. He was arrested after two years but the damage was done. I withdrew, was bullied We were reunited with my mother and mymfather followed close behind. At thistpoint I couldn't even go to school it waswsheer terror And it happened again. Abandoned at nowhere to go. I was terrified. I actually returned to my abuser. I had nowhere to go. AndAit allastarted again. I was sickened. I waswtraumatizwas. I feel I shouldshaves stopped it sooner. I couldn't go outside. It finally stopped at 18 but I was sso terrterri of what somwrisomeI don't do even know. The shame andaguilt onotop of that was paralyzing. Finally I got the nerve to leave But I couldn't cope. Couldn't hold a job cause most dayd I was terrified. At times I don't even know why. I finally met a girl ant the to ly way i coiul speak with her was if iIwas drunk We still fell in love but the anxiety destroyed that. Surpriningly enough i actually held a job for 28 yrs. But i missed a lot of time. Avg 70days a year. I was paralyzed. Couldn't get out of bed. They did accomidate as I was thetwhs manager andanoonen else wanted the job .Then in 2014 I was diagnosed with ptsd Social anxiety and genegen anxiety. And they found a new manager and they told me they didntd want me there any more. So they packaged me out.oAfter a nervous breakdown I wwa hospitalized. And finally diagnosed. The funnyf"for lack of a better word "is deep inside i know these events are not my fault. But Bi atill get that paralyzing anxiety and a fwefeel of absolute terror. These bastards either don't know" wich i don't believe "or they don't give a flying f&$ck about the luves they have destroyed. Six suicide attempts. Months of walking up in A panic. And at most times complete doubt that i can function in society.
 
I'm sorry you've had to go back to your abuser, after all that.

I've had to do that too, and it was the worst feeling. It's bad enough when you feel like you don't belong anywhere and will be left alone for no explainable reason.

I hope you're getting help. If you do, then you're life could get a lot easier.
