Hi, I'm Pat and I just finished reading your post. I'm going to copy part of what you said and talk about that to you....
****So, with all that said, how am I supposed to handle this situation. I can't live my life every day by taking Xanax and Gravol several times a day. That is no way to live and even with that, I'm still not feeling well. BUT, should I tell K what this is all doing to me, the guilt I would feel would have the same effect on me and send K straight into the same situation.~~~I feel that you would be doing yourself and K a favor by talking to her. Explain that this is dredging up old and very painful memories for you, it is causing you to have anxiety attacks daily, that you can't keep popping the meds every day and that your Dr has suggested that you talk about what is going on in your lives. Use lots of "I feel" statements.Talk to her about what pain you know that she is feeling. Since you and K are very close, I feel that as soon as she understands what this is doing to you, she will go see a therapist and work her way out of it. I will pray for you and I'm so sorry that you're having such a hard time right now. Take care, Pat
