I spent last night at my sister's, in the room I had for the 6 months I lived here. Those who especially suffered through that with me (thank you, Miss Jan!) will recall how awful of an experience it was.

So last night, I had one nightmare after another, to the point that I finally said the heck with it about 4:30 this morning and just stayed up. One of my nightmares was about my sister getting angry at me and trying to throw me out of the house. She and her husband and her niece took her side, and my nephew took mine. It was pretty awful.

I didn't realize what I went through here under the guise of "help" had affected me so much. What I'm wondering is, once you have PTSD, does *every* negative experience you have kick it in? Mine originally stemmed from my childhood issues, but I'm strugglingly mightily with the memories of this time last year, when I was literally in a fight for my life, and now this.

I'll be curious to hear your experiences.

thanks

Candy
