Hi all, must be month 7 now since BU, 5 months NC... man it flies!!! Doing good generally, dont really think of her that much, my life isnt as exciting as it was when i was with her, alot of time alone but doing well and moving forward :-) seem much more grounded these days.

 

today i caught a glimpse of her parents walking around where i work, i dont know why but panic shot through me, my stomach turned, deep in my stomach, and i felt weak especially my legs. i dont know why i felt like this or what caused it.

 

I used to worry alot about bumping into them / her, but it never happened and aside from the odd occasion havent really thought about it.

 

my question, any idea why i felt this way? i mean since break up ive been kickboxing and sparring with some pretty big guys, but i never feel weak or scared of them. it was like a fear or something, i just felt i could not defend myself and felt vulnerable.

 

thank goodness they didnt see me and i was able to move to a different section of the store, but i hate this scared / afraid feeling, i hate feeling i have to avoid people. but judging from my physical reaction i must because i dont want to slip backward.

 

any suggestions about this physical reaction, or if anyone has experienced the same would really help me. thanks in advance!
