I certainly get hysterical. I have gone from laughing to crying to screaming all in a matter of seconds. The overwhelming nature of trauma and it's effects can send us in all kinds of directions. For me, I want to get out of my body. The pain is too much. The emotional and physiological symptoms are through the roof and I and desperately trying to find calm and comfort in the storm. In this state I definitely get hysterical. I think part of the reason is that I realize the extent of what has been done and I feel helpless; I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. It doesn't matter what I do - other people hurt me in the worst possible way and they don't even care. When I realize how helpless I am, I have all kinds of emotions going through my mind and sometimes my body just cannot process the intense emotions so it breaks into all kinds of emotions. It is not fun.
