My Mother Is My Horror

The Story

Hello! I want to share my problem and ask for advice. I haven't had a relationship with my mother for more than two years, we had a fierce fight and we haven't talked since. I don't want to shift the blame on her, I can only talk about how I feel. She hurt me so much with words and actions that I barely recovered after leaving the family home. The problem is that after the huge stress it caused me, I started getting panic attacks - I couldn't sleep, a hell of a heartbeat, sweating, I was a wreck for almost a year. I am very sensitive and we were very close, I had a hard time recovering from the betrayal. Now I live more calmly, I managed to recover, to work, I don't remember her and I don't wish her anything bad. But a few days ago I was invited to an event that she would attend, and everything came back to me like a boomerang. I can't refuse to go. I haven't slept since I was invited, I'm taking heart medication, I'm short of breath and palpitations, people, I'm not on my own !!! I thought I had forgiven her, but my whole being rejected her. I was terrified and at the moment I can't stop thinking how I will survive these 4-5 hours of the event with her. I forgot to say that I was in psychotherapy for 1 year with a psychologist, who helped me a lot to get on my feet, I managed to start enjoying life. I stopped the therapy because I recovered, I even had happy moments. But at the moment I'm kind of terrified that I'll see you. Please help me who has been in a similar condition, or has contact with psychological help, please give me advice. I experience such horror, as if they will kill me, and I realize that I can't help but see her all my life. She's my biggest nightmare, she's caused me such pain, that just the thought of her makes me extremely nervous. When I see acquaintances and they ask me how your mother is, I get angry with her, I want to get her out of my life. I'm hurt, and I want to forgive so she doesn't affect me. When I imagine her face, it's as if I'm being torn apart at night, it's a real nightmare. Please help me!
