You're not alone.I was punched on my jaw by my abusive ex (well, I don't know if I can call him an abuser, because he said I made him having that intense feeling like he never had with his exes that he hated hearing I kept saying 'break up' -- he told me I was his soulmate. or probably just a trophy).
That hard punch made my jaw shift to one side and made a lil cut on the edge of my lips and I think the blood was coming from inside my mouth and around the teeth, maybe, idk, my mind felt like running in a slow motion and only felt the pain on my jaw.
He got panicked and just kept saying sorry, saying that he didn't mean to punch me that hard, that I should listen to him when he said 'STAY!', that I should not trying to reach the door, that I should stop saying breaking up with him, that his mind going crazy with my silence and walking away, that bla bla bla bla bla, he just kept talking and my mind got zooning out. Probably a few second of my mind was going numb before it got back to normal.
I thought I just need a time to calm my emotions down (my 12th house mars won't let that overwhelming emotion of moon in Aries win). I sat there for awhile and tried to close my eyes and tried to move my jaw back into its place. I tried to find where was the safe fracture to move. (He didn't do anything, he just watched me nervously and kept saying sorry, like I actually wanted to say, "can you just shut the f* up first?" because I need a full of concentration and I couldn't even talk because of the dislocated jaw and the pain.)
Miraculously it got back to its place with that 'crack' sound. The pain didn't even make me cry, the pain made me think I might be dead next time if this was not ended.
He is an Aries sun with moon/venus in Gemini, mercury/mars in Taurus.
Mentioning his natal placement doesn't mean I hate the placement and anyone who has it. My purpose is to let the reader thinking in two or more ways. I honestly do not like the feeling of victim mentality (I'm talking about me, I don't want to offend anyone here), I'm not trying to find the bad vibe.
I don't think I am the same person after that relationship because I have my lessons there. I'm not bitter with relationship either, but how I see it may different than before. I was even single for many years to... well, I kind of enjoy being alone so being single doesn't bother me that much, probably the happiest time. lol.
I think recognizing the problem and embracing - accepting - internalizing that maybe I have a mistake too, where I might trigger his strong emotions, helps me seeing the bigger picture and as the whole. It doesn't mean I accept his bad reactions/actions on me. It is more like why not change the focus on me to heal rather than throwing my energy out on him. I do not really know what's on his mind/thoughts and his feelings but I do know my own thoughts and feelings.
Empathy also helps to heal the situation (I had a moment to dig a lil bit about his childhood and how his relationship with his parents or the family dynamic he had growing up, and/or the personal problem he had at the moment - like addiction and mental health).
I may have the unconventional and weird logic mind and probably not putting a lot of emotions on how I try to see things (it doesn't mean I don't have feelings, it's intense - not dark - and far ahead) so it may not suitable for someone who is more emotional, drowning to the water of feelings or darkness.
I think for the emotional one can try to find a group of people (proper community that focus on trauma healing, etc) who share the same or similar situation, so they can feel understood and accepted. I think for them there's nothing more healing than feeling the bond emotionally. The same/similar sadness, tragic, the intense - dark - bad feeling/trauma.
My daughter has moon in Cancer, I found out emotional support is her medicine.
I think, you can also try to find what do you like the most and try to focus on them for a lil while. What do you like to do? baking? cooking? painting? crafting? gardening? working out?
If it's still not working, probably you need help from the expert.
You can feel closer to the source when you can see the beauty of life, recognizing the value and finding meaning in the present moment. Lots of broken people in this broken world, so none is perfect unless ONE.
A phoenix rising from the ashes is often I found with Sun/Pluto people. I have it square and my mentor is my Dad, the conjunction.
