Heather I relate to what you have said here. Please know I really appreciate what you have written here could almost have been written on my behalf than kyou form me~

I was re reading that other thread we did earlier also with the lists (I cant remember the title now sorry) Im hoping you remember... I have forgotten so much in all the problems of the last 6 weeks

Take care and thankyou again for putting into words what I have struggled with of late... you star
 
I think I'm the odd one out on this one. I actually get triggered by the opposite, when someone is being really nasty.

I seem to want to cling onto people who are really friendly. Which can be devastating for me because then they see who I am and they want to help and I realize what is happening here and I distance myself. I end up leaving feeling embarrassed.

I do question things sometimes, probably more than the average person without PTSD. I can pick up on sarcasm so that's never been an issue for me.

I do get "weirded out" when people are just being friendly or happy in the area around me. For example in a shopping center when people are laughing or talking and I'm alone. It's almost a paranoid type of feeling.

My therapist is a weird one though, I can't tell if she is just going through motions or really means it. That bothers me after every session.
 
Totally Off Topic

I just wanted to tell Freddy I am giving him some reputation for asking how to post better...he had noticed I had edited some of his posts.

Thanks Freddy :thumbs-up
