[QUOTE="totoro, post: 180270, member: 3155"] I hope he is doing better now. I am so sorry you are even having to think about this stuff. Always one more thing, Huh? I agree with the others... the Mommy Gut most times is right on! I know for myself when I have had to see my family, just last week My Dad... I get worked up, due to the PTSD but also having BiPolar (BP). I find I don't even realize that is what is going on. I start by getting worked up, agitated, anxious... reactive. It usually takes husband to kind of snap me back to reality. I seriously do not realize that, for example, my Dad coming last week would get me so anxious. I am OK... then as it gets closer, bam! Usually after the fact I can look back at how I felt and see it clearly. It is that nervous energy, the stress inside, my head just going... I don't or can't stop and think that it may be stressing me more than is good. Talking about it after, husband helping me see how I am acting, him telling me that it is OK to feel this way. Trying to just stop and breathe a bit. I tend to do too much at times like this, so I am trying to slow down and take a break. With teens it is much harder, much more reactionary. Hang in there you both have been through a lot lately. [/QUOTE]
