Family :(

[Netsy]

I'm learning more and more each day that I may have to step away from my entire family through this pro...

Family and also Friends I find have tried to reinforce me into thinking PTSD C is just - ' Suck it up Annette" - you are still alive, still have a roof over your head, and remind me of how grateful I am to have life still and opportunities to find happiness - but again they dont understand what goes on in my head, and sometimes I dont even know what is going on in my head!. So I try and fit in - I respond, listen and then walk away. But this last explosion I had in my flight fright mode,,, or what ever it is, reminded me of where I am in my life, I feel like my condition is like epilepsy and dont know when I will have a melt down. I have flash cards to help me. I have my little dog beside me. I only want to be heard by my FAMILY AND FRIENDS. thats all I want. Just to sit down and enjoy an hour or two with them. My children go through things with me and to which I am grateful for but I do sometimes feel I am their baggage. So I empathise with you because its hard - very very hard to be who my family want me to be. Gosh hope that makes sense.
