No, it isn't fair. But few things in life are.
It's a good thing that now you can have waves of triggers come over you, rather than it being constant like I'm sure it had been in the past. No, having the waves or series of hyper vigilance isn't fun, but you can know that this, too, shall pass. You do know it will become easier after the holidays. You can keep that in mind when you feel overwhelmed and it will help you get through.
I wouldn't think constantly about the "forever" part of PTSD. That's how it is for now, and there's no reason to have it in your face to depress you all the time. Remember, the harder you kick against something, the stronger it becomes.
The way it will be, in time, is that those waves of trigger or hyper vigilance will come less and less and will be less strong and weaker... and you won't be living your life around your PTSD. That's what you can have, what you know you can have now... who knows what breakthroughs they might find for PTSD in the future?
