Disappointment Or Sadness

She gets mad at me if I say it wasn't all rosy.
I used to be like that. I buried most of the abuse and couldn't understand why people dwelled on it. Then I started having physical problems, then I had a breakdown.

I am disappointed that the real world, and especially American culture is so obsessed with violence.
I was watching videos of good things, and someone chose to try to stop a certain abuse by showing what it was like, I wasn't paying attention until it started. I froze and was terribly triggered. Thank God I had therapy that morning!
 
I'm disappointed that the season has ended for my son's football games. This is his last year. They lost the first one of the season last night, in the third round of playoffs. He, and a few other members of the team, actually cried. Can't stop all tears.

@monster1977 Sometimes my sister is straight about how things were, I consider her my memory, other times she turns it against me. It gets confusing.

I'm sorry that you experienced that video. That would have thrown me off in a spectacular way too. I get why people do that, I just don't want to see it.
 
Therisa, sometimes knowing that this is the time can help lessen it and prepare us for it. I feel that way around the anniversary of my friends death. For years I would get depressed for seemingly no reason, around the anniversary of their death. It wasn't until I was an adult in therapy that the therapist pointed out that I felt guilty for surviving, among other things. Now, when the anniversary comes around, and I start to feel that way(depressed), I remind myself of why. That it's okay. That I'll be okay. And it seems to help it lessen, or be more manageable. Knowing is sometimes power.

My heart goes out to you during this time.

Now this I understand and it confuses me too. Sometimes I just think family go into denial rather than face the pain of the truth.

I am disappointed with myself for not being strong enough to stand up for myself. :(
 
My dog's recent sadness with what appears to be him not getting enough regular walks and/or walks along with me too. He gets walks, but I haven't been out on these in sometime and he's currently not always getting them daily. He's sad. And, something needs to be done to correct this. He's such a good doggie, ...and he deserves daily, somewhat lengthy walks.
