Hi Karie... I'm sorry you are suffering so these past days. I have enjoyed our exchanges and I find your story very inspirational. You are very strong and please don't give up. I do agree at times being responsible sucks. It would be nice to just allow someone to take care of me for a change but I can't seem to let anyone do that... even my T. I'm always fighting the urges to take care of him. My T and I just had a conversation about my dx...I suggested changing it from GAD to complex PTSD which is slightly different from straight PTSD...unfortunately they did not include complex PTSD or DESNOS in the DSM IV. I've been reading a lot about complex trauma lately and I can see where it would apply to my situation. The book you are reading sounds quite interesting. I may check it out.

So please hang in there... life transitions are never easy and are fraught with fear of the unknown. But you can handle it with your P's help. I hope things improve real soon for you.
