When someone using one of those singing meditation bowls sets off your system like a fire alarm instead of being soothing.
When someone you don't know eagerly wants to ask you for directions and this possibly kind but lost person becomes a threat for just singling you out and approaching. "Its not you, its me, stranger danger!"
When a somewhat prickly and boisterous person sets you off so you can't think straight and the 5 to 6 others with her in a tiny room bring on a panic response. This person goes on to ask if I'm ok be caused I look traumatized on the day after a trauma anniversary :rolleyes:
When you tell your now adult daughter that if she hugs you, you will fall apart and cry and she's cool with it.
When you pet your cat before leaving the house for an errand and find him waiting patiently on your bed insisting you need a cuddle and purr session.
When you have to ride out feeling like shredded roadkill because of something that launched you back so far you can't even determine which end is up.
When your emotional pain feels physical and you just don't know if you can possibly fight this off again.
And to go along with the season, you begin to look at symptoms as a werewolf curse. You're basically you still but once in a while things get hairy and beyond your control
