I worried a lot about whether or not my thoughts and were "normal" since I was initially misdiagnosed as bipolar. So, I ask my therapist and psychiatrist all of the time about y reactions to triggers, events, etc, and thy always say it is a very normal reaction. I especially liked what the doctor told me about anxiety, she said tht. As long as it isn't affecting your ability to function, it's ok, just realize it's temporary, it will pass. She said if you need to cry, cry.

Yes, I do think when you recognize that something current is a trigger of past memories or emotions, you do become very aware of it and very sensitive to it. I know I do.

And, I definitely have those times when my appointment can't one fast enough. I really need to run things by her, before they get out control in my mind.
