Help. Feeling more and more panicked!

Postby Juliets1 » Thu Mar 29, 2007 5:50 pm

I don't really know why this time the memories of what happened are affecting me so much. I have been unable to sleep the last few nights, getting worse each night. And I've been feeling more panicked. I think that's why I can't sleep since it happened at night, in my bed. I had my husband come to bed with me last night (he usually sleeps on the couch cause he snores and the bed hurts his back) and it did make me feel somewhat better. Yesterday, we were out having a smoke and I just had this overwhelming feeling and I told him I needed a hug. He just held me and we kept talking. I think he is getting concerened and doesn't know what to do. I'm on anti-depressants, but they don't seem to be doing anything. (for PPD)
I wrote a post yesterday about exactly what happened to me. His name came up the other day and I've been unable to get past the whole thing since. Usually I can just push past it all and keep going. But, this time it's reallu difficult. Why?? I know my husband will have to probably go back to work tonight (hes on split shifts), and I'm so anxious thinking about it! I don't want him to go! I feel like I have to have to him with me at all times or something will happen.
Why am I being so irritaional?
A few years ago we had some people over and there was a guy I didn't know who was grabbing me and putting his hands up my shirt. I was so freaked by it I made my husband stay home from work the next day becuase the guy had told me he would come back when my husband was at work. He never did though.
Why is this happeneing now? This whole thing happened when I was 14 and I'm not almost 28.
Sorry to go all over the place. I know I just posted yesterday but I'm really at a loss over all this. :cry:

Hi again. Don't say you're sorry for posting again, you can post whenever you feel like it.
Maybe these feelings are resurfacing becouse it's time and becouse you simplly coulden't deal with them before.
They've been locked inside you for too long and they need to come out. I think it's perfectlly normal. Maybe you should talk to your husband or see if you can find a therapist you feel comfortable with and talk to them too. I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time.
