PTSD due to domestic violence

Question

I was married for 2 years but then I got divorced because I was subjected to domestic violence by my partner. It's been quite a while since I got divorced but it's still always on my mind. I can't open up to people and trust them, I'm always afraid of getting hurt. Sometimes I get into these phases where my head starts aching because of all the negative thoughts. After googling I learnt this is called ptsd, how do I get over it?

You've been through a really traumatic experience so there's nothing wrong with you taking some time to recover. The more you force yourself to act normal, the more prolonged the process is going to be so just focus on yourself instead of looking for a relationship.

I'm really sorry that you had to go through domestic violence. I hope you know deep down that not everybody is a bad person. Even if you can't trust people right now, it'll atleast help you have hope for the future.

Dear, spend your time with good people. Do not use social media much. Do something better. Like reading books, any hobbies. And you have to open up with people. Life must go on dear. Positivity dose not means you can not think negetive. Positive means any negetive happens in life we have to face it and fight through. All the best to you. Be happy. This is your life...
