It's ok Jade, often this challenge is very hard to articulate. Let it settle some, perhaps try again in a bit.

I am a professor of Art and Design
who has had nightmares about the
Holocaust for 30 years.

I feel quite numb and detached in certain
situations.

I don't think you are creatively crazy.
Whenever my PTSD attacks,
I feel like I am living in my own
personal war zone. This is when
it is the most overwhelming for me.

I do not think you are alone
in the way that you feel.
It just seems that way when you are
going through it.
