- Why is a simple errand the equivalent of an insurmountable task?

Oh I feel ya - my anxiety is about driving - I don’t mind leaving, I just don’t handle driving - panic attacks are for real 😩
I feel for you, truly. Sounds like PTSD, to me. I've suffered from it for years and thought I had a good grip on managing it. I have a special needs son (single mom, here with virtually zero support) who's been struggling since the "pandemic" and we're in a place that we've never been, hence the PTSD is back with a vengeance. Struggling to shop, cook and make appointments. The struggle is real and you're not alone.💖
Literally....never rains when it pours. The stress upon stress. Im wishing you guys much *continued* resilience. Breath by breath some days.
Just recognizing it's happening is a big step. I validate recognizing it & begin trying to get in another baby step to validate. Music helps me alter the sluggish energy (which is most likely between my ears) at least it can't hurt- Rock on !
I went "no contact" with my narcissistic mother 2 years ago. I didn't even realize that I had been a victim of narcissistic abuse until after I left mormonism at age 50. I have complex ptsd from being manipulated by her for decades. I get triggered easily, I'm reclusive, and I have chronic lower back pain due to decades of unprocessed trauma.
I'm sorry your wife doesn't understand what you are going through. People who haven't dealt with trauma can't begin to understand it. None of it is your fault. What happened to you is not your fault. How your brain and body react is not your fault. Don't beat yourself up. All you can do is your best each day, and your "best" will be different each day. Sending hugs 💕
I have filled my tiny home with stuff and every day I look around and want all the piles gone but I cannot even start. I can go to work, the grocery store in the wee hours of the morning and to get ciggies but that takes all I have.
You are not the only one beating yourself up for what you cannot do. It doesn't matter if the task is simple. I can't load my clothes to go to the laundry and it is not that difficult, I know the laundry, it is close to my house and I can go anytime since it is open 24 hours. But I have just can't do it.
Be kind to yourself. Focus on what you CAN do. Much love.
Your not alone
Anxiety is a beast. Been there, done that. When I try to push through, I end up sick or injured. 😮😢 Step 1, be kind to yourself, no judgement Step 2, I don't know, if you figure it out, please let me know ☹️
I'm the same way. Fortunately I've figured out ways to cope and survive. But trust me, it's something i have to talk myself into, even if i have to leave for something i need. Hang in there. Work on it at your own pace. Oh,and i consider myself normal so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hi Jen, thank you for being there and informing us. I just subbed this new channel. Love and support always and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Hildebrandt/ Franke issue 😊
Thanks so much! I scheduled a live on my other channel for tomorrow and I think I'll talk more about Ruby on this one!
@@JenHollins awesome! This situation needs to be under the microscopes!!
...might be a necessary evil but does amazon prime deliver for you? 1st thing my helper brain thinks of.
I’m not sure if you have heard of EMDR therapy, it’s a treatment which has great success for all types of PTSD which I feel applies to you.
Here is an excerpt from an interview where the woman explains her own outcomes. From what I have learned it isn’t something which takes an extended or infinite number of appointments (and $) to see if it is helpful for you.
Here is the link and I’m sure she has other videos where she talks about it in more depth. 🙏💫

I have actually! I hear it's a great tool! I found DBT to be helpful for some things as well.
@@JenHollins I’ve not heard of this, I’ll look it up. Wishing you the best.
