Hi, You are not alone. I have been seeing a therapist since 2008. I was told that I was self sabotoging because I was not seeking employment. I remain confused and frustrated when unable to complete a task and overwhelmed with any additional pressure to leave my house when I am feeling unsafe and distrust. I have been a mental health and forensic nurse 23 years. I never thought that PTSD would have such an impact on my day to day functioning. Having kids and a husband is difficult when they do not understand and explaining your thoughts and feelings is so difficult. You feel isolated and alone. You cannot give up because your kids need you to feel safe and secure. Even when you do not feel it within. Therapists are supposed to encourage and support you. Many times I too have felt insecure and frustrated when I want to heal and get better. Reaching out to others is important. You need your family to keep you grounded. Believe it your family is what is keeping you going. You are not alone. It helps to step outside or change your environment when you feel out of control and afraid. Breath and regroup. You can trust your family even when you think you are alone. I can relate and am here for you also.
