(((Rose)))),

If it is any help, what I noticed is that while I am trying to deal with my PTSD, yes, it can be very absorbing all by itself. I find that my patience level is often low and I can get short tempered more so than I used to. Remember, everything gets magnified with PTSD. So keeping that in mind as you try to get through your days with others that may not pay attention to directions you give or the way things should run. You have to remind yourself that when these things happen you have to make extra special effort to not just over react and get angry. It can be a challenge Rose, but just keep reminding yourself to pay attention and slow down. You will get better at it little by little. Sad to say, other people truely don't know how much effort it is for you to manage all that is going on with you personally right now.

What I have found is that I am now trying to develope a new part of myself that steps in, talks to me, tells me to calm down and find ways to remind myself that I can choose not to let others get to me or disable me. It has been helping me a lot Rose, you can do this too.
