Is it normal
I was in an abusive relationship from June 2020 until January 1 2022. Around December 2022 I finally started therapy and was diagnosed with PTSD.
It’s been a year and a half of therapy now, I’ve even done EMDR which is specifically for trauma, and honestly, I have processed a lot of the abuse mental and physical, but I still find myself just ruminating on it some days and getting intrusive memories on a loop in my head.
I haven’t spoken to him since we broke up, so two and half years, but he’s on my mind almost every day. He got a new gf as soon as we broke up and they’re still together as far as I know. It blows my mind to think he just went about life as normal and I’m STILL in therapy and STILL trying to remember who I am or who I was before I met him. We weren’t even together that long, I mean,
When is it going to end?
I don’t know what else to do. Is it normal for an abusive relationship to still be on your mind years later. as soon as it’s quiet in my head I just start thinking about it.
