Awaken

[Tlcbrit86]

So these last two days have been having me anxious. On Saturday a family member physically assaulted another person and that left me having flashbacks. Didn't sleep much from that incident feeling uneasy end up waking up still uneasy and had an outburst on my son. I never put these two things together PTSD and the feelings of being afraid but in a moment of panic a light bulb click and said this is the effects of it. It may have nothing to do with what my son did it was from the day before. And I took accountability and apologize to him now I am able to recognize these emotions but I still need coping mechanisms to not behave like that . I'm here to see what you guys do that these tips may help me in my life. Once you're on a journey to do good and be a good person you sort of are hard on yourself all the bad things you've done but they say you live and you learn and i actually have to learn how to do better and not let myself myself get away with Miss aiming my distress on to others one because they may assume and not understand that mental health has a stigma of being craxy

The absolute best thing you did was apologize. The first time I apologized to my child for an outburst I knew that she saw me as a person with flaws and it brought us closer together. Keep communicating honestly with your son. You might even ask what he does when he feels overwhelmed etc You Got This!
