I feel the need--almost a compulssion--to tell this guy about me. I feel like I need to explain why I am the way I am. It's like with the PTSD, what if he misunderstands something? He asked recently about sexy clothes, but I got rid of all that stuff when I divorced. Not only did I not need it or find it comfortable to wear, but I also remembered things my X would do---he caused my PTSD. I'm considering writing this guy a letter. It will be hard to write because I have an idea of what I would like him to know, but I just haven't figured out the right way to say it--if there is a right way. Has anyone else PTSD related problems had the urge to let the other person in a relationship know about you? What did you do or what happened?

Inkblot, how deep is the relationship with this guy? How long have you known him? Where do you want it to go? How well do you know him? Does he really, really need to know at this point in the relationship?

Hi Ink
Sept is right I told only some very close friends who I new would support me, I have been put in the hospital on several occassions and had to make up stories for work why I needed sick leave. One of my co-workers found out and she was no longer my friend. It is a very scarry thing.At least it is for me. I don't know much about the relationship part as I have been married for 20 yrs, but I even had trouble telling my husband, because I did not want him to feel like he did something wrong.( I was just diognosed with PTSD a few months ago), but the depression and personality disorder I have been diognosed with now for a few years. The whole thing was scarry to hear and try and deal with. If you are real serious about this person I might suggest you try and explain that you were in a bad relationship/marriage and that by wearing things that trigger you are not good at this point, but maybe in time that will change. Wish you the Best Keep us posted |
