I will have to admit that since my diagnosis with CPTSD I have become more educated on it and other things as well. Often you can find definitions of what you may be experiencing but a remedy or cure is harder to find. My guess is that each situation is so different it would be hard to give an absolute answer. It's been 20 mos now since Dad's suicide and I still get triggers. Not sure if I get them more now, or just don't remember them, or knew what they were before. It does give some explanation as to why I, and others, do not want to leave the house or want to isolate themselves to protect yourself from triggering events, and people. There's got to be a way to get past this though.

What is the most surprising is that some triggers are so....stupid. Things wouldn't ordinarily upset you, so it catches you so off guard and unprepared.
Plus some triggers come from friends and/or family and when you confront them with it they back off from you, not knowing what to say. Or get mad that such a simple saying or action would upset you so much. I understand that it's hard to understand. I can't say I would have reacted any differently before this happened to me. *sigh*
