It seems that everyday inside of me the pain goes up every time my husband or someone else says something that questions me or is on a scary topic to me. Other triggers fearful statements, criticism in any form, not hearing me, not listening, continuing to do things that bother me after I have said not to. You name it . There is a list of things I react to.

Pianogirl, I'm sorry you're feeling so over-reactive. It's a difficult way to feel and often comes from some deep inner turmoil (speaking from personal experience.) Each of us is different. Some people have hyper-reactive nervous systems and benefit from medication. Others benefit from talk therapy or support groups. Still others need a combo of medication and therapy.

If you don't have a therapist, it might be a good idea to think about finding one. Sometimes a primary care provider can make a referral to someone reliable. I wish you the best.
