Just that really, why is it that the most spectacular of breaking down happens only after leaving an abusive relationship?
I for one hovered on the edge for about 15 months. Left him because in my mind it was the only thing I could do to calm my symptoms. Totally unaware he was abusive at this time. Then several months later had an absolute meltdown half way through the freedom programme. Didn’t recognise my own face, my own child, who I was in the world etc etc. My anxiety went through the roof. I believe I avoided total breakdown by the skin of my teeth.
