Oh dear.
Hi All.
So I'm in a foul mood today. I'm just so frustrated and I really shouldn't be. My GF, if you've been following my story, has pretty severe PTSD and currently she cannot bring herself to leave the house. All she does all day is play video games on her computer. She won't eat anything unless I make it for her. She won't go outside unless it's to smoke a cigarette. I do the cooking, shopping, laundry, etc. Wait, that's not fair, she did help me clean last week.
But anyway, I'm at my wits end. Sometimes she just behaves like such a child and the meds aren't working yet. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. I coax and cajole and bribe and nudge. And she won't, wont, won't tell me what's going on in her head, which, I guess, is understandable.
But worst is, she can't work and hasn't been at her clinic long enough to have them qualify her for disability. I'm stuck with the bills and can barely cover them.
I love her dearly, am her advocate and her friend and her SO, but I need help and support, too. I guess I'm just feeling a little lost.
Thanks for listening.
