I've felt like that before & it sucks-I've had people, especially family, interrogate me so much it makes me feel like I'm making things up when if they had any idea how much courage it takes to talk about this stuff they would know no one would put themselves through that. It's a habit for me that's hard to break-I recently started over with a new team & sometimes I get anxious & think they don't believe me so I have to take a few moments to breathe & walk around & kind of ground myself before I can go on-remember you are not alone

& breathe breathe breathe.
