I'm not sure if this is the place, but I am really struggling today with needing to talk and not having an obvious outlet for that. I feel like I've been leaning on my friends so much lately, and I worry about burning them out.

So. I was assaulted a month ago by a neighbor in my building. I have since moved out and have been living with my kids in a motel while looking for a new place.

It seems somehow worse now than it did a month ago. I think maybe I was so numb at first, and now I'm staring to thaw a little bit and it's hitting me. Hard.

I already had PTSD, and it wasn't really under control most of the time even before this. Now it's just...all the symptoms, only more. Fear, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, not eating, not sleeping, binging.

I have been talking to my therapist about it, and can call/text/email her when I need to. And that helps. But I am also worried about burning her out, so it just feels like I'm carrying it alone most of the time.
