I was just wondering..
For CFers.. Do you find that you mimimize how you feel to "protect" your loved ones feelings and or are afraid you are going to upset them? If so do you think they do or don't know we are doing it ??
To answer my own question.. I do without a doubt.. and I am doing it more and more lately I just feel so guilty for making them worry esp since I know it will pass..... I don't know why which leads me to my second question..and I am beginning to wonder....and ask
Family members of CFers.... When your CFer keeps telling you that they are fine, do you believe them? Would you worry less if they were gut level honest with you, and took you down each road of emotions that they face ..?
I am trying to find the balance between being more honest with my family in how I am feeling and not overwhelming them because I am having a bad day.
Right now I tend to downplay everything, but it seems like the ppl who know me best, see right though me...so I end up sharing half of how I feel and then feel guilty and worry if I ruined their day...
DO you guys do this as well??
