I think we all feel this way at one time or another, no matter how far along we are in our recovery. Also, what causes PTSD in one person may not in another, so there's no comparing what's 'a big deal' and what isn't. If it's a big deal to you, then it's a big deal.
I can do fine for days, weeks, or months, and then suddenly something is said that sends me into a tailspin. It's the nature of the beast, unfortunately. Therapy and meds are our best defense.
Yes, having PTSD is bs, simply because it's so dam
frustrating.
