This is a very good question and poll. Yes, I recognize it all now. But a year ago, when I was triggering daily and had 3 nervous breakdowns, I was so lost that I had no idea what was going on. Thanks to good meds and a good therapist, and in a MAJOR way this wonderful forum and the people here (especially Sky ), I understand the beast that lies within. It doesn't mean that it is any better sometimes, but it certainly makes a big difference to understand the nature of the problem.
