For me too and another problem I am having is that confusion makes me see things all so much bigger and worse then it really is. That makes it worse for those around me. So how do I fix it?
My wall goes up when the first thing a friend or family member asks is "How is your Mom"? They all know that Mom is my biggest stressor but they are not concerned about me. When I indicate that I would like some help, they are quick to give suggestions or criticise my thoughts and feelings. Then they get upset when I withdraw. I feel that I am in a catch 22. Just moved Mom into an assisted living center. Sure hoping that I can get some resemblance of my prior life back.
I know you will get your life back Avey!!! I hope I have not done that to you!!! If I have I have done it out of consern for you. It is good t osee you back on the boards :)
Hmmmm a wall...does that mean silence, or a grrrrr "let em have it" type thing. When someone irks me, I dont clam up, I wanna let loose! What does this? My mom seems to know the right buttons. I love her dearly, but her way of "helping" or "friendly advice" always seems to rub me the wrong way.
