I agree with Open Eyes, the flashbacks, triggers, dreams all manifest and wake up the memories. This is no joke, it can feel very real and painful. Hang on, take it easy and love yourself with comfort and compassion, self-care is critical and so is self-kindness. Writing was helpful and instrumental for me, because friends and family become so overwhelmed and try to fix things (sometimes). Meds were and are still part of self-care for managing symptoms also. Please keep posting, it's a safe place here. Lots of caring supportive people who will listen. Day or night. You are not alone.

sincerely
