    Sounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. You'll have a buildup of stress over the years which is now safe for you to recognise.

    Can you get some therapy or at least support through a domestic violence crisis line or women's refuge?

    Congratulations on getting away from the abuse: now you need to get through the PSTD and build a new life for yourself.

    Take care and all my best wishes to you for the future

        Good luck! Can I suggest mindfulness meditation as well as the counselling/therapy? Very good for learning to be where you are now rather than in the past or fearing the future... just a suggestion

    I do agree that this sounds like PTSD. You sound like you are having anxiety as a symptom of your PTSD. I would talk to someone you feel safe confiding in and letting them know you need to seek some therapy or just general medical attention.
