Wife coming to bed? Nope. Clearly must be another break in. Obvious wind? Grab the pepper spray you keep under the bed and scan the room as your heart pounds. Literally nothing? Let’s wake up in a start and double check that the doors are double locked and barred.
It is absolutely ptsd. Fortunately I came to the situation pre diagnosed. And unfortunately it’s not even the only thing from that month I have ptsd symptoms about. But yeah anyone experiencing those symptoms should seek out professional help. Ptsd is a real pain in the ass to treat, but there are treatments and they can help.
Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where you can’t fully leave the situation. Moving helped, no longer living on the ground floor helped (came in through the window), but so long as I have a front door there’s a fear. Contrary to what a lot of people think/suggest, a gun very much wouldn’t help.
But yeah I should probably see someone about this, but American.
