Is this PTSD? I don't think I'm coping

So I ended my marriage of 14 years, which was abusive, and walked right into another abusive relationship during 2 years, a classic case of emotional abuse and control.

I am working through the issues with local support groups and my partner is getting anger therapy and we're in a "good" zone at the moment. I am trying to exit the relationship but as anyone who's been there knows, it's long and complicated.

Anyway, I am a strong and resilient person but lately I've just been feeling wierd. I feel foggy and listless and am kind of getting through the day in a daze. I have to keep going as I have DC and am working from home but I spend my time in inertia. I have lots of things to sort out but I can't muster the energy to tackle them, they seem overwhelming.

I am trying to get talking therapy but in the meantime I wondered if this is kind of a brain fog. I can't find the energy to eat properly or cook and started smoking again which is ridiculous.

Giving things a "name" helps me and I wondered if anyone can throw light on this and how I get myself out of it.

Sounds more like depression to me. Which is not to say it's not still serious! Have you seen your GP recently?
