Update: I woke up this morning and still felt fear. I know the men are permanently gone but I now see that I do have some "post fear" over this. I still believe I will be back to normal in a few weeks but it is very interesting, albeit uncomfortable, that I am still feeling fear. My life was literally in danger for months. The situation outside may have escalated very fast anytime I went out or came back. It's not like I was in a war but certainly this situation was dangerous and scary because it was potentially "life altering". I'll update in a few weeks or sooner.

I made an earlier post. You have experienced ongoing trauma. Your brain and nervous system can cause fight flight fear fawn die to release of adrenaline nor epinephrine cortisol etc. The amydala of the brain is in charge instead of the cortex. I am a trauma survivor. I have ptsd. Ibwas coded in a hospitalization for a serious illness. PTSD is not limited to war zones or what happened to me.

Hi Robert,
Just keep praying and God will take your fear away. You went through an awful ordeal. It's normal for you to have some residual fear left over. Just have faith. God fixed your situation and got rid of those awful people. He will take your fear away too.

When my husband died in July, I thought I'd never get used to being without him since we loved each other so much! I was very lonely and sad. However, I prayed and God got me through that time. I'm not as lonely and sad anymore as I was.
I'll say a prayer for you.
