To those who have experienced coercive control and manipulation...

Did it make you feel very anxious and confused? Did you have physical symptoms? Nausea? Shaking?

I appreciate input on this, I know it's hard to talk about.

I'm not in any relationship, just trying to understand what I went through.

Yes all of the above, confusion, anxiety, constantly felt I needed to 'walk on eggshells', nausea, tension, over reactive responses to physical touch...
I came to question my own judgement on nearly everything. A lot of negative somatic effect on my body I'm still trying to recognize and work through years later, my body is pretty much permanently tense. Even after a professional massage.

@Starcrossed thank you for sharing what you're going through. It's hard to hear the sweetest people here have felt this 😔
