It's confusing and it makes it hard to grasp what's really going on sometimes. I get frustrated with myself because these memories won't stop and I used to be able to just "turn them off". I'm sure it's related to stress level, but I have also noticed that as my stress level decreases, the level of distress that the memories cause decreases too, but not as much. I'm afraid that this is my "new norm" for the rest of my life, that I will never get back to the point where I can "turn them off".
