oh this is SO hard. i was violently stalked by a stranger with a horrible nightmare ending. for years i could not look strangers in the eyes. and i no longer walked anywhere like i used to love to do with my dog. i went women doctors- i felt more comfortable.
I took self defence classes and still carry mace- that helped a lot! i started taking baby steps. walking to the end of the block and back- then more each day.
i have had 3 episodes of ptsd since then. all were triggered by events in my life which were out of my control that left me with no control over my life or total loss of income.
it will take some time, but you can do it.
