Hi Inky,
I'm new here and so I won't take up much space this time. I am writing to let you know there are others who feel the same way about being in a certain place and having it trigger your bad memories. I still cannot return to my home town yet, after having experienced something that "rocked" my being. I had an encounter with a person/persons whose intent (and soul) was pure evil. Just the thought of it causes me to shut down my emotions. So yes, others do feel that way. I guess it is just our way of trying to cope with the feelings that are stirred when we encounter the reminders of what is at the cause of our pain. I have Bi-Polar II as well and I ALWAYS feel incompentent when I am down. Just don't let yourself believe it. Go for the position.
I wish you peace. SK
