Yes, some triggers seem stupid, I have felt that way myself. It is important to understand however, that what you experienced was really very traumatic and you are still "very" sensitive. It's a "hidden" injury and I know it's very confusing and also very hard to explain to others. The truth is that it traumatized and hurt you longer than you realized too. A major trauma like that can produce PTSD on a longer time frame then just the day you were traumatized. That was really a big trauma for you ((Trace)), much like taking a bottom block out of a tower of blocks which resorted in all the blocks falling down. It really takes time to slowly rebuild again, that is why I use the term "patience" all the time.
Thanks for this!
