Starting To Feel Him Behind Me?

[Gs172003]

Nope, not crazy @missy meier. I know (for me) it's a pretty regular symptom, eve...

At the apartment probably because I was facing away. The others? I'm not sure. I'm going to have to start writing this stuff down when it happens cause I tend to forget the danged details, and sometimes entire episodes, later.

Trauma diary. It's an excellent tool.

What do you put in a trauma diary exactly?

Put whatever you want in the trauma diary. Work through your past issues, when you have new symptoms or problems arise, write those down, and then work through them. It's a good place to do reflection, work through your problems, and if you put it here, you can get feedback from others (should you wish). A lot of us that journal (online and physically) use our journals to chart progress, see where we need improvement etc

I can always feel 'him' around me, your not alone in that one :)

Me too feel his presence all the time. Sometimes it's scary and sometimes his good pressence. Until few weeks ago it used to freak me out. now I got used it. If I feel his pressence than there is new issues to work on.

Thank you all for your input. I'm not sure why I don't feel that way all the time.

Not crazy @missy meier. There are so many times when I feel an abuser behind me, even when I'm driving.

What do you put in a trauma diary

Anything you want. Mine is in the members area which can't be googled so I have a little bit more of a security there.

Personally I put things that are odd. Things I need to post but that would be odd to ask for support with. Or things I need to write out about my past. Feelings and thoughts and issues.

I may go back to it. I may not. But it is amazing of things I will see I wrote and don't remember writing but it has allowed me to be way more clear about something.

I was VERY hesitatent to start one. MANY here advising me to abd me terrified to. I didn't know how to start it so it starts with my past from start to finish. Its out and others were wonderful in their replies which by itself helped. Now today i am very glad i have that unsearchable area to put thoughts down when I want to. And many still reply to diaries so I still get the benefit of replies to odd things that wouldnt fit well in a thread.

Oh, I totally forgot to reply to the orginal issue. Lol. Sorry.

I feel people behind me all of the time. I am that weird person always looking behind them. Id say def a symptom and there are times where its likely more present.

I say to myself "no one is there. No one is there" and keep walking. Maybe remind yourself that he isnt there buf aknowledge the feeling as that is still important and then tell yourself he really isnt there and this is why you are having that feeling.

Thank you all. I wasn't aware of the member area being unsearchable. I might have to look into that. Thanks.
