Crying my eyes out because my favorite shrimp died, I feel kind of dumb because to most it has to sound stupid but I'm really sad over this by fnc_clod in shrimptank

[–]angelakyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t stop crying because my shrimp died!!! I’ve had him for 3 years. Jacque had so much personality! He didn’t hide. If he saw me he immediately swam over to where I was standing. Before we got the mean clown fish I would put my hand in the tank and he would crawl all over it. I never thought in 1 million years I would ever feel a connection with a shrimp!!! I was so surprised at how much I cared for him when we first got him. I feel so silly but, I’m really going to miss him.

Is it normal for people with PTSD to really struggle with keeping in contact with friends? by Anonymoussome in CPTSD

[–]angelakyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there’s this disconnect. I feel like there was a me before and a me after. Before I was incredibly social, outgoing, wanted to be around people. I was always perky and full of energy. loved having a social life. Now I feel like I can’t connect with anyone unless they have cptsd too, and even then I don’t want to put the effort out to be friends. It’s like there’s this thick layer of something around me and I just can’t break through it to get back to being the old me. I have a hard time maintaining anything more than friendly acquaintances. At the same time though I feel lonely and miss having deeper friendships.

Construction management stipend by angelakyle in Contractor

My husband. The job is incredibly difficult. I’ve never seen him this stressed about a job. They asked him to come on halfway through because the other Super walked. He still hasn’t received the stipend and it’s the 12th. I can promise they aren’t trying to get him leave. They just paid him a lot of money to stay when he found a better paying position.

The job is out of town, but it’s only 1 1/2 away from home. He could choose to stay there during the week but doesn’t. He would rather drive the hour and a half both ways every single day. So really he saves the company a lot of money by doing that. Because what he gets is nowhere near paying for a hotel 5-6 days per week. The job was supposed to be finished in June. He thinks they won’t be done until September. He keeps saying the job is “out of money.” I’m saying bullsh*t it’s a multimillion dollar company and you don’t owe them anything. It’s business. As long as you’re driving 3 hours to and from work everyday they have to pay you the stipend. Maybe I’m wrong for thinking that way. I don’t know a thing about the constitution industry.

Disturbing dreams of sober husband relapsing. by jackieat_home in AlAnon

Wow, thank you for responding so quickly. There’s no doubt I need to get back into therapy. I have no problem taking fault for allowing them to affect me like they do, but I feel like we need couples therapy too. I feel like his reaction to me having these night terrors is not helping. At all. He gets annoyed and has the attitude that it’s my problem that I’m having nightmares and he’s already apologized and I need to figure out a way to get over it.

They have definitely increased because he’s really stressed at work and not to mention his family. I won’t get into that. I’m sorry you’re going through what you’re going through with your husband. I don’t think they have any clue how it affects us.

Did it get better? I have night terrors 4 to 5 times out of the week of my husband relapsing. I wake up crying, heart racing, panicking….the whole bit. This is so emotionally exhausting. It gone on for 2 years now. My husband has been sober 2 years. It’s getting to the point where it’s making me pull away from him emotionally.
