Hi, JHarmon
Jmo, but handled it way too well can be a euphemism for Stuffing It.
If you are having flashbacks then it's likely you have PTSD.
Because you are not freaking out doesn't mean you don't have it.
J, normal means different things to different people...
Sharing that you don't think your reaction is normal might be reason for you to look more closely at what is happening.
Do you have counseling available to you? It can help a great deal to talk it over with someone face to face.
Peer to peer groups are also safe places in addition to the counseling...
