General Too Tired And Overwhelmed To Care.....

[LilacFaerie]

LizardViolet......I hear ya about the bees. There's no doubt in my mind I am experiencing secondary ptsd. But like you, I'm trying to be gentle with myself....it's gotten easier to do that since I'm unemployed, but I don't know if that will last if or when I get another job. We've introduced a new puppy into the mix, and he does seem to be helping both of us by giving us something else to focus on besides our many issues. I am seeing a therapist too, I will have to ask her about that EMDR stuff.

Stress still occurs tho....today I had to get away for a couple hours to "recharge". Took myself to lunch, ran some errands. When I got back home, I didn't feel like exploding anymore.

I'm truly sorry your BF hasn't decided to get professional help....it must be so hard on you both. I don't know what our lives here would be like if my husb didn't see a counselor. :( I wish you healing as well.

SRE. Your comment about finding this Site being a lifesaver....I completely agree. While I have a support system of my own (friends who know about my boyfriends ptsd) sometimes I feel like a broken record when I talk to them about it. I haven't been able to be on here much, but I have gotten to read a few threads that have helped. It's nice knowing I'm not alone.
