Live in fear

I feel like I’m living in fear since leaving my ex. It’s been like 8 months of separation with a domestic abuse restraining order of him wanting to kill me. I have full custody of our daughter as well. He has schizophrenia as well. Moral of the story I feel like I’m living in fear since leaving. If I receive a friend request and a message from someone that seems off I think I’m being set up. I’m scared to date someone new bc I don’t want him to come after me or them. I feel alone in my feelings. He supposedly moved out of state but I’m so paranoid still..

Hey girly, free to reach out to me if you want. I have a VERY similar situation. I do intense therapy to help with exactly this. Little tricks have helped me, deep breathing as it regulates pulse, ECT... If I'm in a store and hear the sound behind me that he used to make .....I immediately have to control my pulse.
Sounds like you have custody, that means you've got the power. Men like that, hate when we get any sort of power.
But it took me months of work... And am still working.

Do you do any therapy to help practice these things?

Either way, you got this girl. 💪💜
