Does anyone have this problem? I have always been a strong independent women . When I say that I mean if something hard comes my way I take care of business. So that causes a reaction that I can handle PTSD by myself. Some friends and most of my family feel that I can handle this alone too. when other family or other people have problems they come together and been very supportive . I have even told family that it sucks being the person that can handle anything because no one calls to say hello or how are you. My mom says she cant afford to call me..... This is Bullshit. She buys food sometimes for other family members call them all the time just to say hello or show sympathy. It just hit me the otherday. I have offered to have her call me and I will call her back and still no calls. It would cost leass to call me for a few moments than for the gas it takes her in town to help out family, friends and church members. It is hard for me to not to take it personal. I have recently told close friends and family what happened to me because I did not want to be ashamed or hold it from my friends and family. I could use their support. Most were shocked that I had never talked about it and that I was still happy and giving. I was stoked now it was out no deep secrets.They sounded like they wanted to be there for me.......No calls or drop bys. Wishful thinking I guess. I am very greatful for this sight . I dont feel alone. Thank you to everyone for your support. words can not discribe your support.
