It saddens me that due to my input here you now seem to be feeling you have to "verify" that it isn't fake, mind reading, but is real (whatever you're posting about.)

A big part of what feeds PTSD is the cognitive distortions, so please don't file everything as one way or another. Evaluate and move on.

Whew, well I had gone through the issues with my mom and family grrrr and it still hasn't completely settled even now 2 1/2 years after her passing. What I will say is that if you aren't getting the answers you like from the health surrogate, then call your mom's doctor's office. Be sure to keep your voice and comments as neutral and concerned about your mom as you can, and not against anyone or anything. Write it out first if you must, so you have it in the future when you are accused of something else.

Yeah, I know family.

I would hope that you could stop yourself from feeling that your efforts could always be used better elsewhere wherever things don't work out to your expectations.

I know it's tough when T doesn't give us the time (esp paid for)... and whether he makes it up later by giving you long time or not doesn't excuse his lack of "bedside manner." Alas few people have doctors like mine who are the total package.

Anyway, you can't be sure that spending that time at the courthouse would have been productive at all, and you may have regretted missing the Ts appt, you know?

I guess what I'm saying is watch out for the non sequiturs in your life. They abound everywhere in mine, like a minefield...and there just ain't no use "going there" when it doesn't add to my health.

Do you give yourself a day off each week, to NOT work on this garbage? hehehe not that healing is garbage, but you gotta take a break.
