What is it like when you are triggered/your spouse is triggered? Does it give you first very cold and then hot hands? I am just asking because I think I found out that it is one indicator of how he is feeling.
Like when he is a bit triggered he gets very, very extremely cold hands and indicates...
Sorry, this is a rant again.
My vet sometimes takes a long, long time to take a shower - and then I typically tell him but yesterday I didn’t. Actually because I was afraid to hurt his feelings/being told that this “was one of the worst things ever happening to him“ again.
Vet was very puzzled...
@Jay02 I am not a medical doctor but please tell hi. To be careful mixing medication with alcohol. In extreme cases this even might be deadly. I googled it and propanol should not be mixed with alcohol.
Thanks for sharing your opinion @Sweetpea76 and @Friday. Actually I know about his need not to be seen as weak in public but it wasn’t my intent to make him look weak. I just wanted to be helpful. Okay. I take away thatcher doesn’t want me to be helpful in public.
You know, the day before that...
Hi,
during exposure therapy people have to do things they fear. The goal is to help them get accustomed to the things so that they aren’t afraid that much anymore. For example: when your vet is afraid of dirt he has to touch dirty things, first for a short while, than longer... and longer.
There...
Its actually restaurant specific for him.
I told him that I was very sorry. He told me I was not nearly sorry enough in comparison to how horrible I had been and blamed me of just pretending to be sorry when I really wasn’t.
I told him I just wanted to help because I was afraid he wouldn’t sleep...
But I didn’t do anything bad, did I? He totally overreacted didn’t he when he quit talking to me because of that?
When he is like this in most cases it has to do with a restaurant. That’s why I thought it was PTSD. Typically he is difficult to offend, but when he is at a restaurant he is...
Need to vent, just once. So sorry. I‘ll try to make it short. You probably know my guy doesn’t likely go to restaurants but sometimes has to. When we go to a restaurant together he often gets offended over triffles, for example me mentioning to a waiter that he is hard if hearing, or a waiter...
So merry Christmas... and how are you going to spend New Years Eve? Bit odd to ask this on Christmas but I know many of have a problem with this. So do we. What are you gonna do.
Oh, it works. How has your Christmas been so far and what are you doing? Hope everybody doing well and doing fun things.
We are fine.
You know, I think I never told you how much it meant to me that you listened to me when my husband felt suicidal... and I think I also never told you that he is...
He knows I talk with you guys from time to time and he is okay with this as long as I do not do anything that gives away his anonymity.
He was worried that you are worried. One of the first thing after he came home was asking how the kids are and what I did and when I told them talking to you he...
Vet is back and asked me what I have been doing and I told him I have been talking to you he told me to tell you “Thank you. Everything alright“. Vet having a bath now.
?
I think he currently is not reading what I text... but I‘ll text him to tell him we are safe anyway. You are right, he is maybe also worried about us because of his condition.
And when he comes home I‘ll be very calm with him, maybe have drink for him... or maybe he just needs to sleep. He got...
A few minutes ago my vet has texted me saying that he is not feeling good but that he cannot get away. That’s unusual for him to say he is not feeling good. So I am a bit worried.
