What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Absolutely and utterly terrified. I am feeling like I am on the border of one of my most severe panic attacks yet. My husband's job is shipping us out to California last minute for the weekend due to this hurricane coming. There is no word to describe the amount of fear I have when it comes to flying. As if that's not bad enough I think the body scans and pat downs are gonna be a huge problem for me. After being raped I don't like anyone within my personal and intimate space not even a doctor so when a complete stranger does I am going to be triggered in all sorts of horrible ways. I don't want people touching or looking at me. This is not going to be an easy weekend. This is probably the only time my Klonopin will be used and quite frankly I may have to have my husband give it to me so I don't take too many in an attempt to completely numb the fear and make myself borderline comatose for the nightmare through the airport and through the flight. I just want to cry right now. I was doing so well. It was as if I was almost at the top of a mountain and at the last few steps lost my footing and fell to the ground again
 
I'm a little upset that I have begun to have ptsd nightmares again,. This time, the "dreams' included :eek: rape and murder.

I am thankful that there is a medication that I can take that will stop the nightmares, *(without unpleasant side -effects), so, I am not gonna let it ruin my morning...I am going fishing for a coupla hours and forget about it for awhile.:)

I feel I have control over my ptsd symptoms and I am grateful for the ability to 'start my day over'!
