Re: C-PTSD and Childhood Trauma

Yeah, it had felt off between me and her after that day, but it felt incredibly isolating that I reached out, I was vulnerable, I asked for help and like I was told that I shouldn't. I was out of line. 

Her husband has an office opposite the dental surgery and I asked to hang out there after the extraction to let the meds wear off in a supportive environment. She said it was wrong to ask. To go sit in the library.

I'm sorry this happened @avant-garde . I hear that it would've felt so isolating and difficult, especially if all you were wanting was to sit there and let the meds wear off.

 

I know we are supposedly 'social' creatures, but it makes me wonder whether it's easier just doing some things alone.

Meeting with another friend today, he asked me what my expectations were for church and asked about a comment I made, that I feel like doors are being shut. This is one of the doors that feels shut, because of what she said.

Re: C-PTSD and Childhood Trauma

How are you feeling today @avant-garde ?

Re: C-PTSD and Childhood Trauma

@tyme 

Frustrated, hurt, confused

She thinks we're fine and I don't want to turn this into a mountain. But we're not fine. 

I called my case manager today and it felt good to unload and be validated.

I'm glad you were able to unload and speak to someone @avant-garde
