I am so jumpy at times that my colleagues are often having to tell me 'its ok Jane its just the wind, or just a truck going by' etc. I have always startled easily, and scream like the girl I am. I remember being in the cinema one time watching a horror(of all the silly things to do) and got such a fright that i screamed and threw my popcorn all over the people all around me. very embarrasing although my friend laughed I was petrified and spent the rest of the film with my head buried in my coat.
And I am constantly hypervigilant....noticing what i think is somethig moving out the corner of my eye to find it is nothing at all. But my heart pounds for a while because it doesn't know that.
