flashbacks are hard to deal with - I seem to be triggered a lot at the moment too - I hope things calm down for you soon - if you have no T can you discuss this with your dr?

I will try some of what you have suggested! I cannot talk to my family doctor about it because the appts are so brief. Sometimes the memories of past traumas are so bad that I cannot even get off of the couch or go outside...that's how scared I become at times.
