I was talking about the Boston Marathon and it triggered all the bad stuff again.... Its so scary ... here is a blurb...Post Traumatic Stress disorder...A central characteristic of this disorder is a re-experiencing of the traumatic event. This usually occurs with distressful memories and intrusive thoughts (unwanted thoughts that occur spontaneously as if ‘intruding’). Both of these symptoms, if severe enough, will interfere with usual concentration, decision-making, problem-solving, mood stability, sense of well-being, performance and participation in daily events. They are considered clinically significant if they interfere with important areas of functioning such as the performance of one’s usual social, occupational or family roles and routines. Distressful memories and intrusive thoughts can also interrupt sleep, affect appetite and interfere with other types of self-care and health maintenance activities. If severe and persistent enough, these cognitive symptoms can occur in all life situations. In that case, all realms of normal functioning are seriously affected.
