Frustrated over lack of resources (tw: illness)

...See more I have trauma from illness. My husband is now ill, and my cptsd is constantly triggered from that. I'm trying my hardest, but weekly therapy isn't enough. I had already asked her about other resources, and I'm waiting to hear back. But I've researched so much, and I can't find ANYTHING in my area or available to me thru virtual. Anything I find always has a problem. Either, it's not applicable to me (ie gender specific group), it's not accessible where I am, they don't take my insurance and it's too expensive, etc. I am so frustrated!! I'm trying sooo hard to find more support, and literally everywhere I look, I come up with nothing but dead ends. There's just nothing where I live, and all the virtual stuff seems inaccessible to me. How does everyone else survive? Because I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do.

Being triggered at work (TW: death, illness, addiction)

...See more I'm already struggling because my husband is ill and it's constantly triggering my cptsd. Now on top of all that, my coworker, who knows full well what's going on, just went off about someone he knows and addiction and a funeral. WHY do you think I, of all people, want to hear about any of that right now? But I feel like I can't even ask him to stop because he'll just have another temper tantrum about everyone hating him. I hate working here...

...See more Hey there! My name's Frankie. I just joined because my CPTSD is getting worse, and I'm having a hard time coping rn. My husband recently got diagnosed with serious illness. It's a lot to process, especially since it's also triggering my past trauma. I'm getting a lot of flashbacks of losing my mom. I'm already in trauma therapy. I'm just looking for other forms of support through this really rough time.
