I've gotten a pretty good handle on some of the other issues that go along with PTSD (i.e. dissociation, anxiety, depression etc.). Unfortunately, right now they're all hitting me pretty bad. I had a visit from a friend I met in the hospital and I have a feeling that that might've triggered it. See, in the hospital these sub-diagnoses were at their worst. I don't know if it's that fact or something else that's making me like this. I have no issues with this person, in fact he's rather enjoyable to be around. I don't get it. I did also wake up with some flashbacks and I hallucinated a lot last night. I've been doing really good for a while and now I'm have a difficult time making myself believe that this is all real. I guess I'm just rambling here to sort my thoughts out.

Hello Só leigheas: Yes, sometimes things in the present can revive old feelings... old symptoms. I read & replied to a post, here on PC, yesterday that took me back 2 or 3 years ago to a time when an internet acquaintance took her own life. She wasn't even someone I was close to. But it still affected me. She had a YouTube channel. I'm having kind-of a difficult time not checking to see if it's still there.

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you listing out your symptoms. That's good you're looking at what may be causing them. Is there anything you can do to soothe yourself when you're experiencing them?

I'm doing it right now. I'm with my fiance and just hanging out with him. Just drew him a picture. He calms me down a lot. When he isn't around I usually listen to a lot of music, clean and sit down to do whatever will distract me.

I'm so sorry for that. I hope you're okay.
