Hello, recently I was diagnosed with PTSD after a very humiliating and psychologically abusive situation. I'm only nineteen and my family is generally very supportive, particularly my brothers, however my mother can be very invalidating sometimes. For the past two days, I've been suffering from gastrointestinal issues and am on antibiotics. Naturally, my PTSD symptoms have been flaring up to the point of complete incapacitation. I told my mother about my triggers and all she said was, in the most dismissing tone, that other family members have their issues too and that I've been complaining about this too much. I got so angry that I told her to shut up and she got angry as well. There was a glass of water and I slapped and broke it with my hand.
Am I crazy? Am I justified in feeling this way? I don't even want to talk with my mother ever again about my issue as she's almost always dismissive.
