No, you didn't. You're having flashbacks, that's all.
 Do you have any grounding/calming techniques you can use? |

Hi ((Jamie)), I am sorry you are having a hard time with the holiday today. When experiencing not only flashbacks but negative emotions, it's important to be very patient with "self" because you need more time to work through how you are struggling. It can take time for someone who is struggling to slowly improve how they feel about love, relationships, and self worth when it comes to working through the challenge of PTSD. It's important to pay attention to the way you self blame, that is something that many who struggle tend to do and need to work on being VERY patient with themselves because it's never a person's fault if they struggle with PTSD.

You didn't ruin it, it's not your fault.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
