So my husband is leaving for weekend to Ohio and we live in VA and it is killing me! I am so scared to be alone especially at night and I dont know how to deal with it! I have been mad to pissed off to down right hating him for leaving...hating his mother for planning the trip all I want to do is scream and cry and I cant stop crying and I cant stop thinking about how long the nights will be while I am sitting awake scared to death because he is gone. What am I supposed to do?! How am I supposed to get thru the weekend without breaking down? All I can think about is something bad is going to happen and he wont be here to protect me. All I can think about is the horrible thing that did happen to me and that when it did happen he was in Ohio! I wish I could just make it all go away...the thoughts, the triggers, the nightmares, the scary thoughts, the fear. When I tried to talk about it and tell him why I feel the way I do I dont think he understands or cares because he is still going! I feel alone and I dont know what to do.

I'm sorry you're feeling scared and alone. And I'm sorry you went through something horrible when your husband was in Ohio...
 I was just thinking, do you have a friend or family member that could come stay with your over the weekend, or could you go stay with them? The other question I had... You said your husband's Mother planned this trip? Did she not invite you? Why is he not taking you with him?  Maybe write out a list of projects you could work on to keep yourself busy over the weekend. That might help keep your mind of things! I wish you well...

First Welcome to PsycCentral and the PTSD board,
I am sorry somthing bad happened when you were alone last time - as elysium3006 said can you get someone to stay with you or go with your husband? Are you seeing a therapist? if so can you talk to them about it? I used to sleep with the TV on all night and the lights on in the lounge room or hallway - I would (still do) check all the windows and doors before I went to bed - I have wind chimes on my doors attached to the handles so if anyone comes in I will hear them - I have my mobile by my bed and a torch in case the lights go out - do what you can to make yourself feel safe
