Here's one thing about my ptsd that I've learned ... I get very nervous when I'm asked more than a couple of questions. Again, it's illogical, but when questions come in a flurry I start to shut down; I feel that feeling in my stomach, behind my knees, and down my biceps.

Same thing happens when I'm asked to do something. I'm ok with any request, but when I get the second request before the first is completed, it's like I'm overwhelmed in some way and just want to stop entirely, not do any of the requests.

I'm way bad about over reacting. Example, a small criticism of my input causes me to completely withdraw and not participate at all. I know it doesn't make sense, but I've seen it happen often. It would be like ... ok, I'll pay that amount even though the sign says differently, but I'll never be back in this store. Or ... you don't like the way I mowed the grass ... fine. Get someone else to do it. I've learned to find middle ground, but it's always a stressor.

This isn't meant as a criticism of your post. I'm just letting ya know since ya asked.
