I have come to the conclusion that this may well be affecting me, I'm pretty sure that other will of suffered from this on here due to the circumstances. Would like to hear people thoughts on the subject.

I've never heard of the term but had a good idea what it was when I read it.
I looked it up to see if it fitted me, and sure enough it does.
I'm now glad I've heard of it so I know it's not just me.
I can't sleep at night, I can't get up in the morning, tired all day.
Anxiety levels off the scale, planning a trip to the supermarket for days and when I get there I'm panicky.
I get in and out as fast as I can, no browsing, and I get soaked in sweat.
No motivation, no joke it can take me a week to change a light bulb, sat in the dark for a week because I can't face doing it.
I develop agoraphobia after 2 days of not going out.
Can't face cooking or eating, I don't have the urge for food like on the symptoms list.
I am the opposite, I can be starving but don't eat.
When I do eat then 30 minutes later my heart is pounding and I am really tired, apparently due to my body pumping the blood sugars around... .doctor told me that.
Depressed, in fact you name it the list goes on but at least now I have some idea of a name for it so thanks for posting it.
Strange thing is when I was with her despite the stress from her behaviour I wasn't like that. Nothing was too much trouble, I did things without thinking about it, I could amble round the supermarket looking for things with no paranoia or anxiety.
Now my nerves are shot, car doors bang and I jump out of my skin, same if there is a knock on the door or the phone rings.
It's not good.

Thanks for your response, I'm sorry to hear your suffering.
However I would say I'm not suffering as badly as yourself, I can eat ok but it tends to be extremes, binge eating and then no hunger. However the rest of it no motivation etc is very similar I can do tasks that I know are easy however new ones seem very hard at the moment.
I'm not a doctor or anything but it sounds a bit like complex PTSD, try Richard grannon /sparton life coach on youtube. his videos have helped me alot.
Is this your first relationship like this or did you have problems with mother or father? I hope you can learn more of an understanding about ways to improve things. Just because of your suffering right now and feel like you cant do those things, you've done them before and you know that you're capable physically. Push yourself to do the everyday things like eating shower exercise and things will improve even if your brain is saying no. Your brain doesn't know whats good for it. Avoid sugar/drink/drugs and your body should start to calm down. This is all temporary and will get better for you.

I understand things are hard right now, however, noone can make decisions and do things for you apart from you. You have to face these fears as they are irrational. I understand it seems hard but right down your fears of going to the shops, what potentially can happen and whether it will. You are in control of your life no one else, you have to take ownership of what you're going through or it won't change. Doing the things that you feel comfortable doing are keeping you the same for the past 17 months. I'm only telling you this because it was what I needed to move forward.
