I think it will make them walk on eggshells too around you if you try to bring up your triggers to friends and family. I believe it's always best to fully own your PTSD triggers and reactions with a therapist and to work towards how to manage the triggers when they occur. That way, you're not burdening others with your issue and are taking responsibility for managing it. I am not saying that the PTSD is your fault... it's because you were abused. That's never the victim's fault, nor is your resulting PTSD. But now that you've dealt with post traumatic stress and carry that around with you, it needs to be treated and worked on, massaged so to speak, so you can cope with triggers as they arise. I hope I'm making sense.
