Traumatic memories

It sounds like it is not just ptsd that you are dealing with, but also grief, even complicated grief or even complex, prolonged grief, which is considered a separate disorder to ptsd. I'm so sorry for your loss and ongoing trauma issues!

I can deeply empathize about the trauma and ptsd as I also have complex ptsd and I have grief from estrangement from one of my children, but, to lose your best friends in such a way and in front of you! I cannot even imagine how horrible and traumatic that must of been and continues to be!
Sending sympathy empathy and compassion your way @Ken
Thank You.
 
@Gerald Wilgus it's kinda of what version do you wish to live in? You can live in your past, ( no judgment), or you can live in your software upgrade Gerald Wilgus version 202.
Thank you, @Aspychata . I like the new version better. Just like I need to reconcile my past with who I am today, I want to stop feeling resentment towards Susan's past (a trigger). With the kind words towards me I think you are a beautiful woman. Thank you, Thank you.

ps. At the next session with my therapist, Susan will be coming along. We will have a few dragons to slay. I want to come through this with great love and excitement towards her.
