Question Nov 10, 2019 at 07:38 PM
 
Does anyone have a delayed reaction to a trauma trigger?

For instance, say you KNOW what your triggers are, but when encountered by a trigger, you don't feel triggered until hours or days later.

Or, say you don't know what your triggers are, but you realize that you're feeling triggered hours or days later.

(If you don't have DID, ignore this next paragraph, as it will make no sense but only add to the confusion; and even if you do have DID or a dissociative disorder or dissociative symptom of another disorder, this still may not make any sense, but I'll put it here anyway, since maybe it's my DID causing the delayed reaction and not the PTSD, unless others with PTSD also experience this, too??): Or, say you have DID and another alternate personality is co-conscious with you during a trigger (known or unknown), and you don't feel triggered until hours or days later, for whatever reason - either a different alter reminds you, the same alter reminds you, or you yourself feel triggered even though the alters aren't, or some combination of anything since DID is so confusing.

Anyone experience any of the above?
