((purple Sinatra)),

That is similar to what happened to me too. I had a traumatic event that began the PTSD symptoms. But what really pushed me into full blown PTSD was how the people responsible kept being "intrusive", how I was not helped the way I needed by professionals. But worse was that the attorney I had been working with had been declining mentally too. I was trapped in such a challenging scenario with him and kept trying to reach out for help, but I didn't have enough legal knowledge to be able to pin point the right way of explaining what he was doing wrong. That triggered the PTSD to get really bad and bring out things from my childhood that I had no idea I somehow stored the way I did or that could come forward the way it all did.

What made it even worse is that because I was suffering so badly from the PTSD, people were blaming "me" and not listening. That made the PTSD even worse and I actually began to get dangerously bad. My headaches got bad too and I was often so bad I would literally be in a ball under the covers in my bed.

This scenario went on for almost 5 years until I finally found an attorney that listened and was able to see how bad he was handling my case, and did know "he was losing it".

So I hear you, being trapped with a toxic person can trigger PTSD badly and it is very important to get away from the toxic person and also get the right therapy.

I am "so very sorry" you have struggled with that, I know first hand how hard it is. I am so glad you are getting help, be patient, you can make gains on this challenge.
