Try walking a mile in my shoes. Then judge me if you still want to.

 

[Chimera]

You should talk to each other about me and my ptsd, you must communicate your experience with each other...
You've seen my beauty and my horror...both need to be remembered and neither dismissed.

I have learned how to love by loving you and you alone have taught me to receive love and caring. Thank you.

This is for my kids, they were my support long before I crashed. It was with and for them that I learned how to fight with purpose.

I know it's hard for you, but it's hard for me too. More compassion, please.

( This is really mean but...saying here what I can't say to a friend... And when I say mean...)

DUDE! I stop talking to you because you call me two or three times a week! Worse, if I do not pick up, you CALL ME BACK. Goddamn!

Do you not REALIZE that you are HARASSING ME?!?

Then, if I DO pick up, you talk about nothing much for 5 minutes and hang up.

My heart has not stopped pounding from the phone going off by the time you hang up!

( And if those telemarketing people knew how BADLY I wish I could club them with an iron-spiked mace over the telephone line maybe they would stop bugging me...This is probably why they use a fake number; so that people like me cannot show up in their parking lot with power tools and a desire to remodel vigorously. )

I do care about you, but your way of interacting is SO unpleasant...and it doesn't feel like you care about or understand me...or that you'll ever try to care or understand... because we've talked about how I crushed one of my old phones in my fist and broke it because you called me too often.
Really.
That was a few years back. You did not get it. You're doing it again. WHY THE f*ck ARE YOU DOING IT AGAIN?!?
I only picked up the phone because you called at 230 in the morning and I wondered if something really horrible had happened. Now you are bloody calling me all the time again!

For f*ck's sake, can't you email me like everyone else? It is so less intrusive!

I have had it!

Wow. This is a powerful thread. I feel it's given me a lot of insight into what the sufferers feel and think.
