Stress And Intrusive Memories

[rightkindofme]

I cry a lot and feel like everything is too much most of the time. I'm still here. Every day I decide "not today" in terms of killing myself. I maintain a long list of projects that I want done that no one else in the world will do. It gives me as close to a sense of purpose as anything else.

Piratelady, I think Anthony describes this well with his stress cup explanation. As the stress cup fills (with any stresses), the traumatic memories overflow, simply because there's not enough room in the stress cup to keep them down (or something like that).
