I'm working with my therapist and doctors. The therapist has encouraged me to share with my support people...my family... supposedly it helps with the healing process and helps my spouse in understanding what I'm going through. It seems to make things worse. Maybe I'm being over sensitive. I'm not used to being so emotional.

You previously stated that "your driving your family 'crazy' trying to figure this out" and ^^it seems to make things worse^^ maybe you can talk to your husband but your children can't be your counselor. I don't agree with what your therapist has said about sharing this with your family, that's your therapists job!!!

I've edited this, talking to your husband about this is one thing but how old are your children?

I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will continue to work with my therapist and doctors to figure this out and move forward. Again, thank you.
