That's very interesting Just Me. I think you're coming out of freeze. Freeze occurs in many forms (e.g. dissociation, depression) Initially it can feel somewhat like you don't have the normal armor. You might feel more alive but also more uncomfortable...that's because you're now feeling more.

When I was coming out of freeze (and just so you know, it's in a matter of degrees), my body was rythmically jerking for a few months. It's great that your husband is giving you tight hugs as that can help.

Remember that discharge is a way your body is letting go of excess bound up energy. As time goes on you're going to feel calmer because of it.

All in all, I think this is a wonderful sign Just Me. In time, your body will relearn to regulate again and you'll be able to manage more.

Take care,
