I want to say upfront that my therapist has never said "you have PTSD", but we have talked about my symptoms as being PTSD symptoms.

I'm curious what is normal after you get triggered by something. How long does it take you to return to baseline? Do you get really tired?

I got triggered this morning and it basically ruined the whole day. I spent an hour or so crying. Then several more hours unable to concentrate or get any work done. I ended up leaving work early and could barely keep my eyes open in the late afternoon. What is your experience like?
