Feeling Like A Burden Anyone?

[Leah Morgan]

Well after a few days of rubbish ness, I have to say I feel like a burden to everyone around me. My husband says he cant trust me, and one of my best friends is distancing herself. I just want out but have two children, I have to keep going.

If your husband can trust you, that's a good thing, right?

Sorry I have edited it it's meant to say can't

@Leah Morgan, is it possible to talk about this with him? Surely the trust problem isn't about you, more about some details (however big) in your relationship and organization that can be re-arranged to be more mutually satisfying? (Then there's always the possibility his lack of trust, is simply his problem. Not yours, and not even about you.)

Thank God for your kids. They are keeping you alive. At least you have a reason to live.

Are you overwhelmed? I know when I am emotionally overwhelmed I feel like a burden. Everything seems hopeless and I can't think rationally. I keep a beloved photo of my children with me at all times. On the back I have a list of reasons to live. They are number 1. All I know is that I always recover from my overwhelms. Sometimes it's just a day or two, sometes it's a month. Just keep heading forward . Your friend-can you be forthright with her to find out if she's distancing because of you or perhaps something else is going on with her and she doesn't want to bother you with it if she knows you are fragile. I am fortunate to have one true friend that has stuck by me. Most others are battling their own demons.

Can you talk to your husband about why he says he can't trust you? That would suggest you have done something wrong. PTSD isn't wrong-it just is... You know what I mean? If you're having a rough time PTSDwise, it's hard to care for those around us. I wish you well. Keep posting
