Is anyone else experiencing a push? My partner retreated into his isolation way staying at his place after I made comments about his lack of social distancing last week and my concerns about not adhering to it and potentially exposing myself and kids. Now a week later he is feeling ill minus...

Thank you. I definitely never stood up like that before but enough is enough I dont like being walked all over and that is what I let the diagnoses of the mental health do. Well at this point whatever may be a contributing factor, you all have reinforced for me that one can control it and that...

So follow up. Holidays were...stressful! I think he was not in the best place and we all got the rollercoaster ride of emotions. He admitted to this and said he was following up with his prescribing doc. I asked that he try to be transparent about what was going because I was noticing that his...

That was awesome post. Thank you!

Late Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Thank you for the alternative perspective and challenging. I gave my self the week to pull from my initial emotions from when I posted. I think that perspective you challenged me with is more conducive that my initial mindset.

Oh you have been very helpful. It helps to be validated or hear what already runs in my mind. He has always just makes me feel like I ask for too much which is reinforced with his "I'm trying. I'm making progress". Actually he bounced when I had a huge surgery. He took me to the ER and kept the...

Yes I agree it isnt healthy towards the relationship whether it is PTSD or not and I dont know why I'm so hesitant on just adopting the notion of to walk away. It actually infuriates me because I feel dumb but my child telling me his perspective has really pushed me to thinking that there isnt...

Well everything has been okay-ish, I thought we were one the same page with the conversations, however, one of my children comes home telling me he asked his counselor if he can attend a divorce support group at his school because it bothers him that the SO doesnt "live with us" and leaves for...

I give suggestions to him but he has to be in the mood to take them. I'll try that next. a warm compress. Thank you. Try not to worry. Atleast he is communicating it. Maybe just let him know you are there and if you can help to let you know if you already have not.

Yup I use military time for everything, always have. Grew up with it and it's so much easier, ha...plus work requires it. As for going places, I'm less frustrated now since he told me what was going on with his stomach (that was like three years ago that we went down the let's try and "fix"...

SO was out shopping last night... oh I can only imagine what he was feeling, poor guy, but he was out doing it. He made a comment earlier in the day how he dislikes this holiday and I said, "each person is entitled to their thoughts and feelings about anything but please dont pee in my cheerios...

No question is a dumb question. Father actually had parasites then was put on a medication regimen but still has episodes of GI issues. SO no parasites but what it came down they are dubbing part of the gulf war syndrome which OEF OIF vets fall under. The theory is when they were overseas they...

I have done loads of research and even contacted research studies. My SO and father struggle with GI issues, after tons of tests, diet, meds...they both still struggle. In a nut shell it came down to "they were exposed to something overseas", "its anxiety driven exacerbating IBS" all leading to...

Agree with prior response. I have seen this similar tendencies in vet sufferers but it was more anxiety driven/OCD-ish. My own personal experience at one point my anxiety was out of control and the repetitive showering helped my anxiety (grounding) but also made me feel clean because what I had...
