Yvette is on point!! People need to stop telling others that their experiences are not bad. Everyone experiences things differently and what is bad for one may seem easy for another but that doesn't take away from their pain. Don't let others make you feel like your pain isn't real because it is. It is hurtful when others minimize your feelings and pain. Only you know how you feel, only you can understand how much you are hurting. Hang in there and don't back down!

I also have ptsd. I hide from people because I think they can see there is something wrong with me!
My family does support me emotionally. My sons font want me in there lives so I never see my four grandchildren. They live do far away.
I'm now living by myself, left my husband due to his depression and more.
My sister is an alcoholic who isn't accountable for anything she has said or done to hurt me.
I just want to die and be done with everyone!

You are not alone, I have personally found that my story is not uncommon and my daily living issues are looked apon as no big deal, however I only inform people I trust with my story the rest do not get the truth they just get my shy weird wacky emotional self. Done.

I agree with all the others on this point. Do not let others tell you what is or is not worthy of hurt. We are all different & feel things on different levels.. I'm so glad you have had 5 of us saying the same thing. So believe it. I had 20 years where my husband told me...you look in the past too much...let it go.....move on... Until I felt bad & a failure because I could not forget it. I spent too long listening to him & now feel like a misfit, wouldn't even consider moving on in a new relationship for fear of more 'put downs'. If anyone derides & puts you down, don't take or waste time on trying to convince them they are wrong, they never will. Just never talk to them about yourself in any way, talk only on one level "Nice day etc" ((Hugs))

I have been through that. when I lost my daughter I was still grieving badly for her. she hadn't been gone a year before my so called friend and her family actually said... for god sake can you liven up and stop moping about we all lose someone so just get over it.... they knew everything about what I had been through but they still decided to ride rough shot over my feelings. I can safely say I do not speak to that family. and I feel better for it.
