I had a situation this week that really wore me down on many levels.
A neighbor was joking around and form her hand like a gun, index finger extended, and even made a sound, and acted like she shot me in the head, twice. For those that don't know my CPTSD was triggered after finding my dad after his suicide and he had shot himself in the head.
I didn't say anything at the moment because there were other people around. But what an odd response, plus this person is a counselor. Not sure if she remembered about my dad.
But anyway, I didn't know if I wanted to talk to her about this or not. Didn't want her to feel uncomfortable when I was around, and even though she understood what I was saying, I will not feel different around her. And I don't like that.
Anyone else been through something like this? Should I have just let it go and not mentioned it?
