Why some people with more traumas tend not to get effected by them the same way we do?
I asked my husband that how come he is not afraid of sicknesses when he lost his mom to breast cancer, his both grandparents (in father's side) died because of Leukemia.
He told me he has priorities! For example he quit his job and needs to find a job soon. He thinks that this is a real issue to worry about because it exists. He says, unless a dr confirms a sickness, he wouldn't worry about possibilities.
I really think it is so good, I agree with priorities... But HOW? How, when he is having a huge family history of cancers.
His mom sort of died in his arms. He was taking care of her in her last days and at that time he was only 16... I really do respect him, he is so mature. On the other hand, I try not to ask things often because he still gets nightmares about it. And my condition and seeking reassurance, talking about cancer and such always reminds him about the trauma.
And here I am, finding a new reason everyday to worry about health issues.
I plan to ask about this issue when I meet my therapist... I don't know, such things... make me feel more depressed about my condition. I have had anxiety for a long time, but I never felt so depressed and was never frustrated with myself before.
I can solve any puzzle any day. But this thing, I am sooo entangled...
Sorry, just needed to share
