7 years ago I witnessed my mothers passing. It wasn't violent but it was unexpected and I still continue to deal with it.
I don't have flashbacks necessarily, at least not that I can tell, I do have it on my mind, especially recently as this is the anniversary of her death. I relive the moments before, during, and after her passing.
I have never been diagnosed with PTSD, but I wonder if I do have it and would like to bring it up with my T. I just don't know how. It's a difficult topic to talk about in the first place, and I feel stupid for trying to bring it up. I could just be blowing that whole experience out of proportion. And possibly wouldn't feel validated in my grief if I didn't have it. Stupid right?
