we just happened to have a house break in when this was getting ramped up. when she started seeing people on the street when she was walking home, well……..
that is really the core of the ptsd. seeing things in the shadows, plus extreme anxiety, making you puke even, plus the emotions of a 18 year old coming unglued. oy oy oy.
we have so long to go.

this one place especially. shrinks and neurologists are starting to talk more, but they have a long way to go.

another thing i never wanted to ask the google, but it is possible that her sister has this as well. she has terrible puking issues.
