Well another Saturday night of me sitting at home with the dog while my family is out of town having fun(happy for them)I have seen it all this past week.
I no longer can drive on passenger side of car...I have to drive!!I still get panic and nausea from peoples driving!(I think certain people think it's funny) I had been in a yelling match fighting for myself with a state worker...I got in a yelling match with my main case manager...Nobody understands me!!! I have been feeling a little better since I got medication(2weeks now)with a few melt downs and physical symptoms....Reason of the melt downs then trigger physical symptoms....NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME BUT VERY FEW....My fuse is short, frustrating, and overwhelmed! I just rather live like a hermit because every time I make the effort to try this socialize thing or just communicate with people I experience a melt down.... How does other survivors deal or cope with toxic people?(In my eyes their all toxic to me)Sad but true....Feedback is appreciated greatly ![]()
