Triggered By A Movie

[OKRADLAK]

Today I saw the big movie.....you know the one.

I was very unprepared for the emotional onslaught. I left shaking and nervous and on edge. I snapped at the people I saw it with. It was so triggering and I am not sure why!!

Even now I am all disturbed about it, dark, gloomy, disturbed, eating too much, not wanting to do anything. I hope it passes. It is scary, feeling like I am never going to be even my old F-ed up self!!

I don't like this feeling................I am going to be on here a bit till this passes. It's scary!!!

Sorry to hear that it turned out like that for you and that you are experiencing a rough patch. Thinking of you and sending you hugs!

Thank you a lot for your comments. It was the new Harry Potter movie. I have seen them all because a family member really likes them .They have gotten dark indeed. But this was really dark and draining and emotional.

If anyone else sees it, I am curious if they felt the same? The cinemography was so good and the acting was great....too great! LOL!!!!!

If I did not have PTSD i think it would have been great.

My boys saw it tonight and loved it!! Strange, huh? They did say it was a little freaky. Something about a snake?

That is one of the downsides of PTSD. You just can't even enjoy a good movie!!!

I know what you mean!!!

This is good to know, thank you. I am supposed to go and watch that next saturday with a friend. I think I will still go but at least I will be prepared (thanks to you) and I am going with a really supportive friend. I will let you know how it goes. Hope that you are feeling better.

Hi Complicated...

Yes, I would never say don't go! It was a great movie!! I really hope you like it!:)

If I had known, I would have gone with a good friend, someone I could be vulnerable around. I went with a group of children, so I had to be strong. Or I would have had something to ground me, an object, or something.

Do let me know! It's worth it if you've been following the series! Actually, essential if you;ve been following! LOL!

Yes I am a big fan, read all the books and watched all the movies except this one. At least I am going with a good friend so if I dont feel great I will have support sitting next to me.

Hope that you are feeling better.
