Oh my, I can SO relate to so much of that it's frightening. Bed Bath and Beyond is a trigger for me, I found that out the hard way, now when I manage to get out of the house (not easy) I go out of my way to NOT drive past it. Making matters worse; I love that store (used to I guess) and my roommate works there and has a discount . . .

Being touched, hugged even in sympathy and support is a big trigger for me, and really hurts because I SO NEED a hug . . . Please, someone lie to me, tell me that I'm going to get past this, that I'm going to heal and have a life again one day???

My therapist is a woman (I couldn't talk to men in the past, now it's even worse) but miracle of miracles my Shrink is a guy, but he's okay.

I'm so tired . . . Can I go home now? I'm being good, why am I still being punished???
