I have always had a very difficult time saying "no" to anyone.

I was always told (as a child), that if I don't say "yes", they will never ask me again, and I will be all alone. If I didn't "do" what someone asked, I was selfish. So, whatever the question is, I have found myself committed to rather huge tasks.

There have been times when I have come up with some excuse to get out it, but I make sure that the next time they ask me, I do whatever it is they want. (Like painting the exterior of a friend's house one summer).

MY PTSD has been affecting so much of my daily being, that when I do have something planned, I watch the minutes until it is over (while telling myself to hold on)
