Significant Other Doesn't Know...

She seems to be just fine with it.

:tup: :)

The first time I told someone about my PTSD it was my roommate. She said she was just happy that she finally had an explanation for why I'd be biting her head off over everything :) The next friend I told was the same way. He said he'd had a feeling that something was off, and that he was really glad that I'd trusted him enough to tell him. I think we get so used to telling ourselves that we're messed up, broken, damaged, weak and scary that when we think about telling someone for the first time it's hard to imagine someone having any other reaction. I'm so happy you told her and that she had a good reaction. Like you I'm new here, but I'm already feeling like I've got a bit more of a safety net.

Yes I agree, that is so true, as per the thoughts, and 'why', also, or (and) what is expected.

Thinking about it, I think that's so very much so, jibber. Exactly. Would think it but never 'say' it 'out loud' to another.

Thanks for expressing it. :)
