PTSD following a break up?

I feel traumatised by a breakup earlier this year. The relationship itself only lasted 1 year but sometimes none of it feels real. Not sure whether it was purposeful but he made me feel worthless, depressed and like there is something the matter with me. It was never him. He was selfish, self absorbed, did not consider me and then cheated and told me. I briefly went back and couldn't do it. I know think he is either the woman he cheated with. I have nightmares and reoccurring thoughts and feel haunted by the whole experience. Briefly had counselling buy it didn't really help. I've been triggered as I saw a happy picture of him on social media. I know it may not be 'real' but it feels he has found happiness and I'm left feeling numb. Questioning myself and my worth. I've done all sorts to move on but I feel stuck. How do I move on properly?
