Living with an ex coparenting

[OliveL]

I’m currently living with my ex and really struggling emotionally. The waves of panic are intense and I don’t know how to cope. Has anyone else been through this? We have two children together.

I'm in a similar situation except with only one child... for me it's been just over a year and thankfully hopefully the end is in sight. It's so difficult living with someone who openly dislikes me (something of an understatement!) whilst trying to keep things normal for my child.

I have read so much stuff about panic attacks, but largely it seems to come from the angle that your anxiety isn't real, there is no doom incoming, and for me that's not that helpful because the things I am worried about are very real.
