PTSD is so hard especially when you are a mom. And that asthma thing, I never heard of that, me and my kids have it the regular kind and that is stressful enough in itself.
It is interesting that you brought this up because I am going to talk about that with my T today. The flight or fight has taken away so much from me. I know it is a normal response to danger that we learned but enough already! right?
I a 40yr. old mom who went back to college a few years ago parttime and now since my PTSD is kicked up in high gear, I can't study or read. I can't retain the info until recently when my doctor put me on Strattera, not of ADHD, but for the flight or fight feeling and dissociation of PTSD. It has helped a lot so far this month. But I do feel my confidence slipping away and the guilt of not being the mom I want to be just kills me. It was the one thing I knew I was good at.
Are you in therapy for this?
