Can't sleep (trigger for domestic violence)

Just called police on a neighbour for Domestic violence against his lovely wife. I still have her screams going through my head and saw some bits. They arrested him thank god so at least they are safe tonight.

Problem is just over a year ago I was attacked at home (very different circumstances but still male on female violence). I'm getting counselling for PTSD, I get nightmares when I sleep and panic attacks in that weird bit between sleeping and waking. I'm not sure I can sleep tonight.

I'm also find myself questioning the not all men narrative. I know I don't want another relationship, it's pretty much guaranteed if I'm attracted to them there will be some violence in there somewhere. I'd rather not another relationship where violence was a feature.

Just need a handhold really

I’m so sorry for what you went through, and hope you managed some rest.

Well done for calling the police and helping your neighbour, you may well have just saved her life.
