Okay I seem to have getting by days and BAD days. Today being a Bad day I will try and focus. Everything we do involves some form of trust, from the moment we open our eyes in the morning. Some of you know a little part of my story, emphasis on part there is so much more I could share but again I do not trust anyone(other than my wife and kids). So what do you do when your ability to trust anyone is gone?
But if you need a different perspective or just to give the wife and kids a break, anxiety of PTSD is pretty heavy. That "no Trust" monster, though protective, can also be isolating. You can also transfer that to your family. Meaning in order for your comfort they will choose not to do normal things they enjoy. In an extreme, they will walk on eggshells to please you.
I can't handle violent / racing type movies, but My Grandson loves them. He would see a Rom com to please me. So they will adjust a lot out of love to please/comfort you.
If you must trust, why not a bunch of us that also have given you our private hurts and thoughts? Then get some feedback to sift through to see what may help you?
Good morning.
In therapy I decided if I'm going to blame abusers I have to give credit to benefactors, and that made me start storing up trust in the bank for rainy days like the one you seem to be having. Sorry for your having a bad day, I had one this week but got through it. Hoping you do, too.
