Yes, the whole PTSD thing is tough to live with.
I am going through a period of re-activated PTSD and it has me feeling very fragile and more. I cannot even describe all of the feelings. It has a negative impact upon day-to-day life, for sure.
I think you are doing a great job with all you have on your plate. Nothing about any part of it seems simple. It's easy to start to feel "protective" of you when you appear to be struggling... and the protective feelings are born of simply caring.
The goal is to try to support you through your trials. I hope my responses demonstrate support.
I hope you are having some fun this weekend!?
