Yes, I think I do, to some degree. Which probably also makes me arrogant to think I'm not a candidate for the same condition.
My SO served in the military for a very long time, went some distant places, experienced and witnessed some really screwed up stuff. Result was he ended up messed up as well. After much effort, he did get counselling and medication.
I still get confused when he regresses but I tuck that emotion away and help him walk through the steps to get his head back. While I'm helping him, I do feel for him but at the same time it's like I'm just going throught the motions. It's like a red box on the wall that says "Break in case of emergency". I know what to do to improve the situation, and I follow through but it's more like I'm watching me respond. |
