"maybe You Need To Get Your Meds Checked"

I called her back after some kind words &;coaching from my fiance. He said just let her talk...

@Myanxietyhasanxiety - I don't know what person in their right mind would tell another they're "lucky" to be 100%. Whiskey Tango Fox, really :mad:
This "advocate" make me more and more angry!
I am so sorry you had to be a part of her "unlucky" few..

So glad you stood up for yourself though! :tup:
 
My question (turned into several questions, sorry.) is, would this possibly be a redundancy built in to simulate a chain of command?
Would that be total ridiculous?
Or is it just what it appears to be, a position created to justify some pencil pushers continued employment?

I'm honestly not sure. She was helpful to me when I was in the initial stages of transition from active duty to civilian life.

As I understand it, it's a private organization. The organization in itself is wonderful and I'm grateful to the project. They sponser many events for wounded vets and their mission is honorable.

I just happened to find an area of weakness but I don't think it's inductive to the overall mission. It's by no means a requirement, more a benefit.

Again, I don't think this instance is a reflection of the project. Just my own personal issue with a particular person that happens to work there.

She may not be sensitive to my particular needs but may be incredibly helpful to others.

Also, I realize in retrospect I may misunderstand her capabilities or have been asking for help that was not within her reach. Her desire may have been to be helpfu but it appeared insensitive to me. But this speaks more to how badly I am doing.

She has spoke to me about her own personal struggles in her life in the attempt to connect on a personal level. Unfortunately, I took it as she was telling me how she overcame those challanges as a comparison.

That's my issue to address. I instinctively feel judged, and all that goes back to childhood and feeling like a military failure.
 
I'm honestly not sure. She was helpful to me when I was in the initial stages of transition...

I feel like she should already know, being an advocate and all, that PTSD can make people extra sensitive to things (like I am).

I think it's very understanding and big of you to be empathetic to her struggles but she is the advocate and should be the one helping you. IMHO...
 
You know how to say all the right things. - Hugs @.45 Princess

I do that quite a bit, become more empathic to others.
Even above my own needs.

Glad you pointed that out. I need to learn to take care of my needs and feeling worthy enough to have the right to be upset.

I need to learn that it's ok to be upset every once in a while. My needs are important too
 
I only share from personal experience :) :hugs:

I totally understand, as I do the same.

My empathy has gotten out of hand and to the point of it being unhealthy for myself. I'm still trying to find a balance lol....

It really is okay to be upset once in a while!
 
@Myanxietyhasanxiety Wow. I would like that a hundred more times if I could.

That certainly answered my questions, plus a few more I didn't even think to ask.

Thank you for that, and I know I don't say this often enough around here, I also want to say. Thank you for your service.
