I did go through a similar experience in psychotherapy, in which you release the past by reliving it. I was abused as a child by my mother and I went in patient for two weeks to deal with the nightmares and the abuse issues when I was only 19 yo.
I don't know if I'm ready to go through that right now, as far as what happened last summer with h, but it could help in the future. Not sure. Everything is so fresh and raw, and painful, I'm not sure it will be beneficial yet.
I'm taking some medication to help with the panic and anxiety, which the doctor says he wants to take me off of eventually... I'm moving and so I'll see a new dr soon to handle this when the time comes.
But I have to say that I don't the medication is doing that much for me. I still feel these "episodes" hit me where I'm panicked inside and I shake and cry... or become angry.
For the most part I'm doing OK. But it is falling into a pattern, as I mentioned above.
