I'm Afraid It Won't Ever Be Over

I'm afraid I am never getting out of this pit. Today I could hear annoyance in my therapists voice. I knew he would get too frustrated with me eventually.

I'm just so very tired, and sad.
 
It will be over. Keep going. You're not alone. One day you will be able to talk about all these without feeling what you are feeling now.
:hug:
 
I have felt similarly before, but I do think it's important to remember that what you heard in his voice might not have been annoyance and even if it was annoyance, that annoyance isn't necessarily directed at you or a result of anything you did. He could just have been having a bad day and he might not have been able to regulate his own feelings. I think it's sometimes very difficult for those of us who suffer from PTSD to remember that other people's feelings, reactions and responses aren't our fault or responsibility because we've so often been told that they are, explicitly or implicitly.

If possible, please do something really nice for yourself (a warm bath, a yummy treat, whatever feels good for you) and be gentle with yourself.
 
Sometimes trying something different can help. If it doesn't there will always be more new things to try.
