Thank you all. It is so much better to know I'm not alone with this. I feel like a freak sometimes and I doubt my memories all the time, so this just adds to the confusion.

Out there, thank you, it's such an easy thing to forget, but it's so important, - 'our bodies are always present with us during trauma'. Silent witness.

What happens in the long term? Will the pain stop, or lessen? It's not unbearable, but it's difficult to manage sometimes, and it brings those issues to mind which can bring me down.
