I Have To Do Wrist Therapy Again

Well, this is nothing in comperesent what other people go trough daily. Bad stuff happens. All problems are situations that are waiting for it's solution.

While I understand what you are saying, and I get that sometimes people with PTSD tend to be a bit dramatic. But for @SeekingAfrica this is a big deal. I feel like you dismissed her, her issue, and her feelings. Just my opinion. Everyone has opinions and they are a lot like assholes, in that everyone has one of those too and they use them.

I didn't want to disrespect her in any kind of matter. From my own experience in PTSD I realized that biggest part of problem was the way I looked at it. That caused a lot of unnecessary stress.

except each of us is going through our own kind of hell, which is the reason we don't compare problems
well that and it's just rude

I don't offend easily. Also yes, sometimes I see things as worse than they are. It's the whole survival instinct- isn't that part of anxiety and PTSD too? I am working on it though, slowly, and I am better than before for sure.

Sure, there are worse things to worry about. But that was something I was worried about this week. It's something I am yet to adjust to, that's it. Might not seem like something I should need adjusting to, but it is for me.

But in all honesty, this forum is helping me vent out problems like these, and that helps me save energy. Because when I get to the really bad stuff, they feel so bad usually that I can't talk about them, or write about them...so I'm all on my own in them.

So I try to deal with whatever problems I am able to communicate about, so then I have more brain space to deal with the stuff I can't talk about. I hope that made sense:P.

@Silver and @She Cat thank you both. Whether I do or don't write about something that may seem small to someone else, it's nice to know that I can get support for it here.

@SeekingAfrica You're welcome. @Carriexo I think also the reason I spoke in defense of @SeekingAfrica is because on Thursday, I have an appointment with a surgeon, because I need surgery on both of my wrists. I have Carpel Tunnel in both. Although it's a minor surgery, it's still causing me a bit of anxiety.

Sorry @SeekingAfrica for hijacking your thread.

That's okay:).
Btw, even minor surgeries are still surgeries, some level of anxiety is normal. Hope it goes as good as it possibly can, sending you positive energy for it.

As for me, one thing I'll say is, anything that feels intrusive to my body, makes me feel vulnerable. That includes someone standing really close to me(whom I don't know) but also doctor's visits. I know it's their job, but...it's my thing.
I have to do a blood work thing that I have to go take before I have had breakfast or coffee ...which sounds like the easiest thing ever. But I always wake with my heart racing and feeling vulnerable and scared, and usually it takes me some food and coffee and sugar for that feeling to wear off and me to realize I'm awake. So being in overfilled bus while still not that awake makes me feel dread. Usually I balance that out by listening to music, but now my phone is broken, so that's out too. Oh well.

Anyway. That's my weird fears. I'm working through them one by one, at least now I can get myself to go even if I'm afraid. I used to be anxious to a point of being unable to do that at all. So I'm still happy about it.

I guess last thing we should do is split up. Dealing whit these problems when someone understands you is much easier then dealing whit them alone.
