Partner Stress

[anthony]

Relationships are always work, at the best of times, but it makes it that much worse when you have PTSD and then your partner gets stressed or ill, then that creates stress in me, then a nasty little cycle begins, she worries more about me getting ill, she gets worse... I worry about her... nasty nasty cycle that I really don't like at all.

 

[Paradoxal]

I can understand that nasty cycle you mention, Anthony. It was something my ex and i went through all the time. At times we grew very tired of it, and tired of each other. At other times we tried to brush it off and work through it. It's such a vicious cycle.

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't!
