No confusion. I'm happy if we both just feel better soon.
As far as being concerned, yeah, I really am. I've read so much about compassion fatigue, especially for people who work with trauma. And yes, I still worry about being "too" needy. I can't get a handle on how much is "too much". Sometimes I am truly convinced that it is OK to tell him all this stuff and other times he looks so truly horrified that I want to apologize for putting it out there "on him." He always reassures me (I ask directly, "are you Ok hearing that?") that he is fine, he is worried about me and he wants me to tell him anything I want to. But still, the look on his face...
Thanks for the support. I'm sorry you've dealt with all this too. It is pretty awful, isn't it?
