Very long story short. During the worse time of my life - very unwell with PTSD which I still suffer from a situation happened.
I was basically ‘bullied’ if that applies here?
Worked in a well known university in an admin job whilst I was also doing a masters and looking after my 2 dc. It was a horrendously racist and bitchy environment but I was super nice and tried to keep my head down. That didn’t work I was treated like shit by the whole team.
During this time I was in another horrible situation on my street my neighbours kids were causing lots of anti social behaviour and I shouted at my neighbour to control her children which basically ended up being the neighbours kids ramping up their behaviour and very much targeted my house. Group of kids hanging outside, kicking the walls, swearing, being abusive.

Somehow I managed to finish MA, land my dream job, move house renovated it and I love where I live now it’s beautiful and peaceful and safe for my dc. I’ve got my lovely friends and made lots of new friends here too.
But that whole time it’s coming up in my mind 2 years on and I still feel really sad about the whole thing. It was all so unfair and it’s dented me.
I should be really happy my circumstances are a million times better but the effects still hurt- how can I move on?

Hadn’t realised I’d put votes on but that’s helpful

Can you write down how you felt then and how you feel now on two separate lists? Might be good to acknowledge what happened and why now is different?

As @Royalbloo says writing about it might be therapeutic. Alternatively, if you think talking about it would help have you thought of counselling? Or something like an audio book, e.g. "How to unfuck yourself". Good luck OP!
