      were easier to handle before the breakup with the sociopath. If something goes wrong with work or a much wanted Amazon package gets very delayed, it triggers anguish in me. I get sidelined for a few minutes to a few hours. Sometimes I think of a hurtful episode with my ex or just intense pain about nothing in particular.

      Has anyone else experienced this?

      Yes, that’s called anxiety. You could be suffering from depression too. I hear about his name and i get so nervous and anxious.

      Yes anxiety

      I think it’s an after effect from the emotional trauma. Basically a Complex-PTSD symptom.

      the smiths – yes, it could be hypervigilance, cptsd, etc. You might want to check out our webinar on self-care for complex ptsd:

      Hi all,

      I am feeling better. Part of this is the complex PTSD (thanks for the link, Donna.The webinar looks like it would be very helpful). Part of this is stay-at-home fatigue, being alone for long stretches of time, and impatience for returning to a normal life. A life where I have friends and possibly dating.

      I was ruminating too much. Not a good thing. Not thinking about my ex, or feeling disgusted by him when I do, helps.

      Thanks so much for these messages.They helped me feel less alone.
