But, one of my jobs required I read announcements over an overhead speaker system and I finally got use to it. I've done so much teaching, I am use to seaking in public. I figured, communication is important and we do need to have fellowship with other Believers. I don't get much personal contact. I am totally speechless at family reunions etc. on my husband's side of the family, or funerals, or parties (company) and I can't understand why. I guess I'm out of my element and have low self esteem. So...I guess we all can attempt to overcome these things. I use to hate to leave a message, also, on an answering machine.

My mom is about the only regular person I talk to on the phone. I do talk to my dad but not on a regular bases like I should. I just really don't like talking on the phone. My phone aversion is so bad that I don't even like ordering pizza or anything that has to do with talking on the phone LOL. My mom is the same way so I must get it from her. Oh and I really don't like answering machines LOL. I get so tongue tied when I have to leave a message LOL. I don't know why I feel that way it's just the way I have always felt. I am a little weird LOL. That is great! My mom is about the only regular person I talk to on the phone. I do talk to my dad but not on a regular bases like I should.

I have to admit though I am not good with calling people either. I do much better in person or through email. I feel so awkward talking on the phone for some reason. I guess it's because I can't see them and with email I can really think of what I want to say before sending while on the phone I tend to not know what to say. It's really odd and I have no idea why I have such an aversion to the phone. I do call my mom a lot but even then I still feel a little awkward. We don’t get much calls here either.

Some years have been good but I think it was because I was so terribly busy that I repressed every thing I was feeling and it finally caught up with me. For me, the hardest thing is how it has affected my cognitive and memory abilities. I'm glad to hear from someone who understands more about PTSD. May you be blessed in this coming year.

It takes time (sometimes a long time!) to fully recover. It's not just something you can "snap out of" by sheer force of will. Thanks for your post. A helpful reminder for everyone ... those of us with PTSD and those who care about us. :-) I think that’s one of the most difficult things for people to understand about PTSD.

I am sorry you had to go through that though. (((HUGS))) You are so right about spreading kindness. I know sometimes I get in a bad mood about one thing or another and it always melts me when someone does something nice for me even when I am in that mood. Changes my whole outlook for the day.
