Rite Of Passage:

[Comfortingwall]

Finally, family and friends had lost patience. And I had went through PTSD rite of passage: Harmful Console

Harmful Console:

• Pull myself together and get over it. (Popular!)

• Stop dwelling on the past.

• Just do not think about it.

• Just get on with your life, live the life you used to be.

Dale Carnegie had a book called "How to make friends and influence people". I would like to describe this situation as "How to lose friends and alienate family"
