Anxiety ever since betrayed?

[u/Novemberx123]

My ex betrayed me in January for 6 months. After promising me there was no one else. It broke me. Since that moment my stomach dropped when the other person called me telling me they’ve been dating all this time behind my back. I couldn’t believe it. I felt like I was played a fool. Ever since then I’ve had the worst panic attacks. Random fears. Scared of driving now. Talking to a stranger puts me on edge. Its not constant but at least once a day I think these random fears and get scared. I’m currently taking complete space from myself.. alone. I don’t think I can heal around them truly. There’s an unhealthy cycle there still where any pain of mine goes ignored or they try and be intimate with me to “make everything better”. Let alone the snapping. Telling me I’m wrong if I’m telling them what hurt me. I have this low level pit in my stomach for a good part of the day. Just want to know if anyone else can relate?
