I am a successful businesswoman. I go to work and kick some ass. I go home to a loving family. I am happy with my personal life. I spend time with friends and loved ones. I find adventure when I need to spice things up a bit. My life is exactly what I've always wanted. Does that describe your life? Probably not, right?

You've had this charming, witty and wonderful guy hanging around, but the more you hang with him and investigate the possibilities, the more red flags arise. You have that uneasy feeling in your stomach that something isn't quite right, but you can't seem to put your finger on it. Then the truth starts to emerge from the fog.

A man who is stuck in his path through life as a boy never matures emotionally. He carries around his childhood sense of himself throughout his life.

All of your family members have likely been this way as well. You involve yourself deeply in your work and in ensuring that your family and yourself are well provided for. Your employer seems to be happy with your hard work and perseverance. You are stable and grounded.

Anxiety can escalate to another level. When a person is exposed to traumatic or negative events where they feel little or no control in the outcome, the anxiety can turn into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you have enough recurring events in your life that are traumatic, you may even be diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).
