My therapist asked me to repeat to myself, "That was then this is now" whenever I start feeling like you are right now. I know it sounds simplistic, but it has really helped me. Perhaps you might find it useful as well.

I'm new here too. This is my first post. I spent three years with a narc psychopathic man. 33 years later I'm still dealing with the trauma and have been diagnosed with PTSD. I too have had strange symptoms for the past eight years. Doctor thinks it is possible MS. I found a Therapist who has helped a lot. I read the book that was mentioned in one of the comments and found it helpful.
I'm slowly learning to tetrain my central nervous system in order to break out of the "fight or flight" routine that my body has been stuck in for so long. Maybe someday the nightmares, stress, hypervigilence, etc. will stop. 😊
