Oh . . . My . . . Goddess . . .

You have just exactly described what my life is like sometimes. The good news (if you could call it that) is you are not, NOT alone. The bad news, and I hate to tell you this, is that I have been formally diagnosed with PTSD.

I never know exactly what, or when something is going to set me off, steal another day of my life.

One day my sister, sister-in-law and I were in OfficeMax and honestly I have no idea what my sister said, something simple I'm sure. The tone of voice was what did it. One second I'm there having a simple, peaceful day, and then it is all happening all over again. The violence, pain, rape, everything happening all over again. I wrote something a while back, that was what I was feeling after one such attack. http://forums.psychcentral.com/showf...rt=&PHPSESSID=

Maybe this will make some sense, maybe not, if nothing else you'll see you are not alone . . .

Feel better and hang in there, believe it or not (I didn't for the longest time) it is healthy in some ways . . .
