I often wonder if my mental health support staff REALLY understand everything I went through....sometimes they get upset with me when I tell them I don't want a bunch of friends right now,just a few who understand me...and they seem to want me to 'act as if' everything's okay when I am having a bad time with abuse flashbacks..I have a hard time going about my day when this happens...yes I take care of my responsibilities, but my staff always keep the pressure on even when I am dealing with memories of my past...Why?
