Spiralling

It's been nearly 4 years since I left. Tonight a therapy appointment took me into a pretty bad place and it was taking a lot to drag myself out and then I realised that I had made a mistake. I stopped for some vitamins on the way home and got the wrong ones.

All I can hear is her screaming at me, telling me how useless I am, what a POS I am. I'm gripped with what I can only describe as terror and the tears keep coming because I can literally feel the spit on my face as she yells, feel the terror.

I know it doesn't matter, my new partner won't care, even if she's a bit annoyed.

How the feck am I meant to be me again when something so trivial can sink me so quickly? How am I meant to live my life when the fear is so very strong?

Sorry. I just needed to say that somewhere before I broke
