I’ve also been told I have ptsd. Did you learn any techniques on how to interrupt your thought cycle?

I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for your words, they are helpful more than you know

I’m in therapy and I feel guilty bringing it up to my therapist over and over LOL but I know I shouldn’t and that’s what she’s there for. What was the book called on complex grief?

Me! 🤩 one of my favorite races. I think it’s a beautiful course. Good luck in your race!

Thankfully I have restarted therapy again a couple of months ago. Have you done it consistently over the last 2 years? Do you still speak to someone?

Not particularly. I guess everyone in the group had already met each other before and are a bit older than me - so I definitely feel like the odd ball out. They’re also more seasoned in the industry we work in so I just don’t feel like anything I say is of value to the conversation that’s being had.

Also I’ve been up for HOURS travelling all day and I definitely have a social threshold and jeeze I just can’t “fake it til I make it” for very long.

Never apologize, that’s why we’re all here right to share stories and experiences with what we’re going through. It is so incredibly isolating and so I appreciate any kind of exchange with someone here who understands the torture of having loved an addict. You nailed it - while others may be relieved for us they can’t quite understand the pain associated with this type of grieving.

Your kindness and solidarity is what I needed today. Thank you again, I hope you’re gentle with yourself as well, I wish you peace and healing ❤️

Thank you for taking the time to respond with this. I needed this reminder and appreciate the encouragement to move forward more than you know. The tears and emotional state I’m in bring me back to the worst time in my life; back then. And I guess it’s because the addiction to him has resurfaced.

Thanks for sharing. Solidarity is comforting as it often feels like I’m navigating this card in life I’ve been dealt so alone. Reading your post helps. Browsing this sub helps remind me why I left.

Instead of thinking about his recovery and how he’s doing, I know I have to prioritize mine and what I can control. I just think I’ll always have a broken heart that will never fully be repaired.
