I have ptsd ( trauma based from childhood)
I have had lots of therapy which has helped as has Edmr . However while I’m not using alcohol now and I can work I do still struggle. I’m on the waiting list for cbt as my thought process is very anxious driven .
I keep myself on a even level with sleep yoga stretches relaxation and journaling thoughts but the issue I have is others
When ever a serious family issue happens I become overwhelmed and the stress triggers my anxiety. Recent issue was a car crash .
The other is family members constantly try to put on me stuff they can do . I am saying no at the minute but my husband for example knows how I’ll Iv been but still has to be reminded that going to the gym for 2 hours while I’m at home sorting homework, pack ups , teas , pets , washing etc is selfish
he apologies and says he doesn’t think . I have no issue with a hour or when house stuff is sorted .
My mental health is so vulnerable at the moment . How do you protect yourself
