Is Recovery Faster The Second Go Around?

CCurry, Give it time. I know when I start falling I transfer my resentment towards myself to anyone and everything around me especially those who try to help me recognize what is happening. I eventually get rational again and when I have time to look at what is really going on I am thankful to anyone who tried to help me see what was happening. But the being thankful part comes after the oh hell here I go again part. He will see that it was because you care. It will just take time. Be kind to yourself you did what was needed.

Oh, and I am glad that others found what I wrote helpful. It took me forever to hit the post reply button because I was unsure if what I had to say would be of any value whatsoever. I delete what I write most of the time. I rarely believe that I have anything helpful to contribute. Hopefully I will realize soon that probably isn't the case. That occasionally I have something to say that will help someone else even if just a little bit. Stupid PTSD grrrrrrrrrr.

Oh Tiger please don't do that I found it extremely helpful!!! Don't doubt that, I know easier said then done. Once again what you just wrote me above about giving it time and the resentment you felt initially until you were able to think more rationally....that helped me again. I say that because I actually think he does at this point resent me a bit. I think he'd like to just wallow in his ptsd at the moment and here I come reminding him of his two therapy appointments this week. To make things worse I either meet him at his therapist's office or go with him, there's no hiding from me.

Once he can think more rationally and as you say land on his feet like a cat, I know he'll thank me. It's not that I'm looking for that though, I'm really just wanting that guy I knew back!
