I must preface that this is very hard for me to say as I am judge so often than not as THE STRONG ONE...
I went through 3 years of a very traumatic relationship. I hid it the best as I could as family wanted to know was I out ) so I could come help them... I was in a new part of the country, no established friends and definitely no family. I had my work though and used it to gain the strength to exit.
Well, I got out. However, within months family started getting upset because I wouldn't come "fix" them. I set my boundaries that I had to stay safe and I loved them but needed them to step up and take care of matters.
Let's just say as PROACTIVE as I have been, healthcare providers do NOT always listen. DUE to everything I have survived, I have learned to listen to my body and re-orient the mind and have another person to check base with. (Sorry, validation issues since my ex is a sociopath).
It doesn't always work.
I have learned to vocalize when you need help you MUST reach out- AGAIN it doesn't always work. Try reaching out to 5-6 people even. I didn't know the last episode was PTSD as I was very physically sick with a systemic infection. I took the first step I never wanted to take and PRAY I will never take again.
When will people realize that when you reach out.. sure share the experience-- but DO NOT FORGET to share the Strength and the HOPE. HOW CAN I SAY ANY LOUDER... NO! I know things have not gone right or even logically BUT I REFUSE to give up HOPE!!! And continually hear- good people are screwed. Sorry BUDDY- I'm still alive so WRONG ANSWER~
