I really need help?!!!

A few months I had an altercation with a guy I was seeing. We were a little drunk and during sex he strangled me, I couldn’t breath and I tried to move his hand but I wasn’t strong enough.

Since then I have tight pains in my chest, tired all the time and pains in my neck I constantly think there is something wrong with my neck.

I have been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and don’t eat properly as a result and wonder if that is what’s making my bones and neck click all the time  . I’m so tired and stressed out I just don’t feel like myself. On top of uni work it’s all got to much and I don’t know what to do.

You are very smart to stay away from him. That's dangerous!  Our mind can dull memory but don't let that happen here.  I'd write it down and exactly how you felt and read it every time he contacts you and if he begins to contact you more or 'show up' go to the police for help.

He may have done some soft tissue damage.  I do think you should see the doctor!  I really do.  And a chiropractor perhaps as well.  I'm sorry that this happened to you hon.  hugs

Thankyou for your advice. So it’s unlikely to be anything related to a spinal injury? I mean this happened about 2months ago. I just fear sleeping on it funny has caused the symptoms to flare up? As now my neck makes a sound when i move it to the left. I’m  also confused as to whether it’s just anxiety or both :(

Wow, strangled you during sex.  Was this part of sex that you enjoy as some couples do like that rough stuff and the asphyxiation thing ---  OR was this because he'd been angry with you?  Were you okay with it?  Cause I wouldn't be and would definitely then be anxious about my partner.  PTSD anxious.  Watching my back anxious.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause a lot of things but since you were recently strangled, I would look at asking yourself some tough questions like IS this a guy you should be with?  How has this event impacted your mental health and anxiety?  good luck

I did not agree with it and left shortly after. He was my best friend and things ended badly as I didn’t want to have a relationship. A while passed and I realised I missed him which is why I went round and then during it he strangled me. I don’t see him anymore as I don’t want that to happen again. He tries to message me but I ignore it. I’m really worried about my neck and the kind of tension and noises it makes constantly worried the strangling has caused problems. Get strange pins and needles in my arms all the time as well, haven’t been to the doctors but starting to think I should :(
As I couldn’t breath I’m constantly scared of not being in control of my breathing so I stay awake which is exhausting :(
