Pandora,

I agree with all that has been said. Putting your trust in someone is very hard for us with PTSD. This past year a friendship was lost because of my PTSD. This man had been kind and good friend and to this day I am not sure exactly what happened. My feelings of friendship ended when he belittled me for my emotional baggage, even though he came with plenty himself. Now that the trust is gone, he is a trigger. For a while whenever I saw a car like his I became nauseated, but that is getting better. We sometimes run into each other because we have the same friends and each time I see him I get nauseous, but I am not losing the good friends I have over a stupid man. The good news was one day I realized that even though he had broken my trust I could trust again.

Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. We are all in this together.

Hugs,

vst
