MyPTSD Pro
Who do you tell? I feel like having PTSD is a big secret. I'm on disability and I just tell people we chose for me to be a stay at home mom. I feel embarassed and stigmatized and I don't know if it is me or if it is really there. My family all know, and I talk freely around them. But I don't tell friends. I have a couple new friends. We met because all of our kids went to preschool together. They are all homeschooling for kindergarten and I can't because, well, I can't handle it. I don't know what to tell them. I just tell them homeschooling isn't for my family. Part of me wants to tell them the truth but I don't have any friends locally but these two moms and I don't want to lose them. But then I think If they can't accept that I have PTSD and it is not my fault and not really anything that has to affect them, then maybe they shouldn't be my friends. So who do you tell?
