The last couple of days have been really tough. Lots of violent anger lashing out, along with flashbacks and other symptoms. We feel like we're THIS CLOSE at times to snapping. Attack the first person that gets in our way.
We're not psycotic
We're not homicidal
We have no desire to go around attacking people and then doing jail time
Why then do we still have all of this? One reason is because it's backed up and has to come out. We have better things to do than to have sick, twisted flashbacks all the time. On the other hand, we still have to have an escape plan in crowded places. If hypervigilance is a problem, how do we deal with it?
We just want a sense of balance.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
