Welcome to PC crystal70, sorry you need us though If you've read here, then you've read at least some of my threads/posts... and know I totally understand ... as far as I can understand PTSD!

Don't compare your feelings with other people's ignorance... few ppl, even after they are taught, understand PTSD very well (indeed, that includes many MDs!)

I don't do storms well... was permanently disabled during one. TC!

BTW we have a trigger icon to use at your subject line for graphic posts... some members are fragile with heavy stuff.. it's the red ball with the x through it.. TC and again, welcome!
