<font color="purple">It sucks, I was watcing the movie cellular a bit a go and it triggered me bad. I had a shower, the thoughts were there. Even getting out of the shower and going to get dressed, I just layed on the bed in the sun and just laid there in a weird position just thinking for nearly 20 mins roughly I think, I wasn't even dressed. I had to force myself up and it was so hard.

Just thinking about things that have happened to me, thinking about stuff that hasn't happened to me but it's like i'm there and it is.

It's just hard right now, I have that sinking feeling in my gut and it's hard to shake.

I talked to my psychiatrist yesturday, well had my session and brought this up to her.

She said that a trigger doesn't mean it's a memory, but instead just feeling the fear of what the person may have been feeling in the movie, and reliving it in that sense but not through memory.

If that makes sense. </font>
