Hi Toesquasher. I definitely relate to your hypervigilance. My trauma is childhood (1 1/2-17 years) sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. For years I was so on edge than something like hearing the slightest creak of the door make me freeze then tense up. I suffered frequent anxiety attacks.
I don't know what would cause you to have false memories but, but I know that false memories are quite common. The invasive procedure and surgeries could well be the source of your trauma.
I want you to know that it's possible to heal, especially with the help of a therapist. I suffered 15 1/2 years of horrible abuse and I am so free of it now! I don't have flashbacks. I'm not hypervigilant. At 46, I am a bipolar, schitzoaffective, PTSD woman who is happy and, mostly, carefree. So hang in there.
