I've figured out that if I stand at the oven or microwave timer at the 10 second mark so I can stop it before it starts beeping, I don't lose my mind

Your brain wanders so much that it's only when your sleep suddenly goes all to heck you realize there's a trauma anniversary this week. The same day I see my T. With stuff in my EMDR box. Some lovely nightmare stuff.....

When you jump 10 feet and you go into panic survival mode like someone just shot a gun at you every single time your therapist calls for the 2 ish years Covid has been around...even though you know he's about to call. Every time! I suprises me just how much it scares me when my phone rings every single week. It's...weird! It's PTSD!
