I am plenty old, lol. I’ve seen a therapist off and on, not just the C-PTSD. Raped by brother when I was a teen, a lot of family issues. Periodically triggered by the Flying Monkeys, my sister in particular. Whenever she tries to reel me back in, seems to trigger me. It’s complicated having several sources of recurring trauma. Usually I function well enough. I just squirm mentally when triggers come out of nowhere. And the prom dress thing is just so stupid. I know that. I’ve moved on in my life. Think it’s the recent sibling crap underneath it all.

Working through a lot of things. Right now I’ve got my hands full with I’ll health, plus caring for my sick spouse. He had lung cancer surgery right before Christmas, and a lot of complications, back and forth to hospital, every test, procedure, surgery, complications. I’m doing everything here, got him home now. Good thing I have two machines for oxygen, because we ended up using my portable oxygen concentrator for him for a while. He’s stabilized now, but I sure don’t need the Flying Monkeys circling right now.
