PTSD happened fall of 2016. Told husband that I need to see a therapist, thought I could handle symptoms on my own and I can't. Thought it might be ptsd. He supported therapy because I told him that I want to improve my self image issues as part of it. Now it is summer. Restarting therapy with new T/test indicated really strong ptsd. So today...Husband was thinking "it is Thursday, we should be going to that big event that hosts local bands." I said, "No, that would cause a lot of anxiety! Scary." He is like why would that cause anxiety? I say: crowds, people, unpredictable noise. I couldn't even handle that Restraunt on vacation. Remember when I went to the bathroom? That was so that I could breathe and calm my heart from racing. :bored:What?!!? You know ptsd involves the nervous system, right?:eek:
And he changes the subject.:banghead:
Nervous about flashbacks during sex? :O_o: What?!?
Why do I disappear into the bathroom every night for 2-3 hours?:confused: Why am I all of a sudden interested in smoking pot with you again after about 20 years? :meh:
Earlier in the summer, he talks to our friend who is a therapist. About my shit. He doesn't know what my dx is. She tells him that I absolutely am doing the right thing being in therapy.:tup: Later she tells me after I tell her that I have ptsd that spouses should really be in therapy as well. He doesn't want to.
I love him, he is a great husband and dad, but he doesn't get it. He won't listen. How do I make him understand my condition?!?
