Anxiety since leaving my DA relationship

[Questionqueen]

I've left my DA relationship and trying to rebuild my life and push myself out of my comfort zone but when I tell you I feel anxious I couldn't even begin to explain.
When I'm invited out especially with new people I feel so anxious and feel like they won't like me. I feel like my breathing starts to race at the thought of mixing with people and even going to a local shop I just stare at the floor most of the time because I feel so anxious. How can I cope with/fix this.

Congratulations on leaving your abusive relationship. How long ago did you leave? Is he causing you any problems or is he completely part of your past?

Anxiety is horrible. I agree with previous poster about going to GP to discuss it.

Ot sounds like you are still going out and doing things that are making you uncomfortable which is definitely good thing although it might always feel like it. I think the worse thing you can do is try and avoid anything that makes you anxious as your world just gets smaller and smaller and it doesn't solve the problem.

I'm no expert, but things that have helped me have been breathing apps (try googling calm breathing bubble and following along with that), talking to people either here on in real life, medication, getting out in nature even if I didn't feel like it, and a gratitude journal.

Have you had support from women's aid?.do you have friends and family around who you can be open with? I know sometimes these relationships get cut off I'm abusive relationships xx
