Finally time to kick back. Some writing to do tonight. Other than that, trying to keep our balance as best we can. At times, lots of anger and symptoms are still there. One part of the problem was eating some stuff that had gluten in it (and we didn't realize it). Gluten definately affects your seratonin level and can make your symptoms worse (in our opinion).
The other thing is a stuck fight-or-flight mechanism. We still have to fight to get past that block and feel like we can get anger out and then have some sense of balance. Either that or black out. What happens then if we come to and we don't know where we are?
At times we just rock back and forth and look outside or watch something safe on TV. That and some limeade seems to help also.
Enjoy your extra hour as clocks go back one hour here. Hopefully the same in your part of the world.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
