I tried to share with my T the dread I feel about my family (h and kids) wanting/needing stuff from me. I told her that sometimes I sit in my car in the driveway for 15 minutes after getting home from work trying to convince myself to go in house. That sometimes I actually wave away (like shoo shoo) my h because he wants to give me a hug or a kiss when I get home. I just feel so smothered. She didn't really comment. At the end of the session she suggested that my h and I try to go for walks every night. WTf?

These aren't new feelings...I remember going to my 6week checkup after the birth of my son (16years ago) and when the dr was asking if I was enjoying motherhood...he knew it took 4 years to get pregnant and lots of shots to keep pregnancy and all I could say was how I didn't realize how hard and suffocating it would feel to have someone constantly need something from you.

I must be a freak or something....my t had nothing to say about it???

Does anyone else experience other people's emotional needs as exhausting or smothering.? Or am I alone in this?

ETA: lts not physical demands like drive me here...I need my uniform washed stuff ...it's emotional..they are just trying to be nice sometimes...ugh
