Time to catch up here and then out for lots of errands. Had a new job interview yesterday that went well. Dropped off a resume at another, and that means another interview next week. We feel like our visualization (we need jobs working in happy places that can pay our bills) is working. Call it whatever you want. We think of it as being proactive.
That doesn't mean however that symptoms aren't still there. Flashbacks happen, and lately when they do they're pretty severe. It's a mixture of anger, frustration, sadness and wondering, does anybody listen or care? Do you ever feel like you have to do everything yourself? Yes, you are responsible for what you say, do and your health. However, at times it's like do you have to take the x rays, do the examinations AND the surgery on yourself as well?
As far as triggering stuff, protect yourself at all costs. Unless it's for work, ask yourself do I really have to look at this? If you don't, choose to go the other direction and see what happens. You could actually save time, money and possibly your peace of mind. All at the same time.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
