Flashbacks And Thoughts

[wind2]

Situations will have aspects about them that are like the past trauma - for example when people act in uncaring ways towards me and it involves safety issues where i could get hurt. i get triggered. i have thoughts like "they don't care about me, i'll get hurt, i'm at their mercy, i'm helpless to do anything about this to affect it in a positive way much" I feel like the past is happening again. My question is what to do about these thoughts.

I'm not sure. Have found that with ptsd I tend to be overly vigilant of potential bad situations and many many many.... Times unnecessarily but then being overly vigilant has saved my tail more than once!!! Not sure what to say. There's a lot of mixed up thinking with ptsd - I hear the goal is not to be so hyper vigilant but is there really safety in that.
