Both are feelings people with PTSD experience often, I think.

So... Iīm saying this because sometimes I get short "lightning" shots of feeling very much like myself and then I think I feel more powerfull over my actions and my life. And that feels a whole lot better.

Iīve been wondering if anyone feels the same and if anyone knows if this is actually connected and how it can be explained
I very seldom feel like me. So much has happened and I'm so overwhelmed that just making it day to day is an accomplishment..Feel like I have no power or influence? I'm really scared....a lot.

But I do get those short "lightening"shots of feeling normal and confidence that I can accomplish my goals. It feels great....and I wish it lasted longer.
