Dinah, I hear you and thank you for your observation of my reaction.
It is called PTSD. It is my main diagnosis. It is triggered by being slighted, and made that feeling - I myself - has happened, there is no looking back. No chance of it not escalating. If anything, my triggers are far worse than they were when I joined babble, because I have experienced more traumatizing events since then.
Avoidance, not exposure, is what is best for me.
I am pretty sure I won't return to babble again.Understand that the feelings are genuine. I really am suffering, regardless in what spirit the exchange took place. I am better off wrapped up in my afghan. And medicated.
Thanks for all your help. You have really worked with me on this. I don't find much, if any, understanding about PTSD, where abuse and neglect have been the major components. They kind of perpetuate. There isn't any talking out of of it, only turning away. I have lashed out, because I wasn't able to as a child.
But thanks, again.
