Why does being crowded by "stuff" make me so uncomfortable? I'm helping my in-laws and husband clean out his mom's house, so a lot of stuff is coming to our house. I have been on edge for a few days now and can't sleep. This makes work much more difficult. I have even felt myself go into a panic over this while driving home. I would think that just some cleaning up would help - but it doesn't. I still feel a panic like I'm being smothered by a pillow. Help !
When my last partner passed away unexpectedly, I was left alone for a few years. I actually packed almost everything into boxes, so the house felt more empty. (And I was preparing to move) Sound weird? I'm thinking of doing it again, but this time I feel like just throwing it away instead of packing it up.
From my own perspective, I feel like it is my stuff, so if I want to throw it away, it's my choice. Right?
How does the feeling of being suffocated go along with PTSD? I'm not sure how it fits into it. Ideas?
