I too suffer from (sometimes) crippling anxiety and PTSD from an abusive relationship. And I'm a nurse and an empath, both of which landed me in said relationship. It's definitely a work in progress, but my 'toolbox' helps me through the really rough patches! (The amazingly kind, loving, and patient man that became my husband is also a God-send!) All I can say is experimenting with various calming techniques and apps
( who doesn't want to be read a bedtime story by Idris Elba??) definitely gives you lots to work with.

Patient partners are definitely a plus! I’m glad you’ve got some things that are working for you 👏👏👏
