Dear Anita

Cutting contact would be the best, many people tell me this. I mean one or two people who know her and whom I told this. But right now I guess it’s not that possible, maybe it will be in next few years. Recently she kind of break up with her partner so spends almost everyday in the flat that I live. it’s hers but I used to live here alone, now since November unfortunately she came back here. So I have to deal with her. But I see it like this:  I cant escape the noise in the city which prevents me from finding peace, it’s true. I cant escape people or situations that trigger me sometimes and cause me to have panic attacks. Sometimes I can escape it and sometimes I have to face them. But I can learn to not affect me and to just fight it. Where fighting is not always a good thing. So your theory I guess is better. Anyway it is what it is.

The “mental territory” is a very good metaphore.
