FOR THE RECORD:
-Nowhere in this post do I compare Greg to what happened to me. I simply shared the feelings that today has brought up for me. I think I have a right to do that.
I NEVER attacked anyone.
-I asked not to be attacked because I'm hurting. This includes via pms, people.
-I do not believe my way is the only way. I just believe I have a right to feel hurt about traumatic experiences in my life, and a right to share those experiences when I am triggered and hurting, regardless of whether others think what triggered those feelings is a justified reason to be triggered. Everyone, PTSD doesn't "carefully select" when it will and will not be triggered.
-I also feel I have a right to ask that others not keep asserting their viewpoints contrary to mine right now, given that I am in no emotional place to be able to handle it. I'm VERY triggered and it is near impossible to process anything or think very clearly
Thank you for respecting the fact that I'm in pain.
Angela
