[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And just to add to the above, please stop engaging in such pain olympics now in pandemic times.  There are so many people who have lost loved ones to COVID, lost their jobs, their homes, their life savings or their businesses.

All those are traumatic experiences.

Maybe even they got very sick and recovered, they can still have PTSD from the lengthy hospitalization and isolation. [/quote]

I recently found out about Dh’s multi year affair. There was j on be affair but so many deep betrayals. Unless you’ve experienced this you cannot know how damaging this is to your entire being. Several months later and I am a shell of a person. I can’t sleep, I can’t think clearly, I feel on the brink. I put everything into my family, my marriage and my kids, our financial well-being, etc. It was all a lie [/quote]

Almost a year for me and, yes, it’s been utter hell.   Complete shock and disbelief—from someone I was with for 25 years.  I know two women that were diagnosed with cancer a few years after discovery and there is evidence that severe stress like this can cause cancer and autoimmune issues.  I had severe anxiety, flashbacks, racing thoughts and total lack of sleep.  It’s debilitating.  I’m sorry.[/quote]
