Thanks, eskielover.

That's a good point, I've heard people say that children absorb everything around them as well. I still don't see what I went through as being a trauma, though - it would have been for the people who were actually there, who were in the gym, but I wasn't! Yet I realised today that even just reading the number 1996 makes me think about it.

Good luck with working on your symptoms! ((eskielover)) And thanks, I'm glad I've been able to talk about my feeling here as well. I wish they would go away, but at least they should get easier.

Thanks again!
