Hi, Beholden. Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into that book. I have been reading "Waking the Tiger - Healing Trauma" by Peter A. Levine and it has been eye opening. I am not a fast reader and progress in the book has been slow, and delayed by the problems created by the hurricane, but it is an easy read and I relate to it a lot. I seem to have suffered a lot of developmental trauma and a lot of my CPTSD problems are a result of instinctual responses that I have no control over. They have not diminished much over time and I suffer from them numerous times daily. I recently left a good temp job because they resurfaced and I took that as a bad sign; an indication that I could not handle the stress of the job. Interesting, I have a lot - a lot - of ADHD symptoms too. There is also some anxiety, depression and loss of self-confidence. I am just a mess. I am hanging in there as best as I can, that's all I can say. I really don't know what to do and am not accomplishing much lately. I am thinking of going back to school but doubt that I am up to working. I don't know what to do anymore.
