Hi everyone,

I'm new here. I have had some good experience on this site with other issues, but wondering if any of you can relate to me today.

I experienced some emotional trauma about 30 years ago related to love and loss. I know my plight isn't as agregious as many of yours are, but I still - to this day - experience the hypervigalence, sleep disturbance, vivid dreams, etc. etc. 

it was all brought back again last week when an ex from my past randomly contacted my after 20 years. I thought I was healed... enough.? I am not. Is what I am feeling making any sense? I am a (relatively) smart person but I thought I have moved on and healed over the years and my visceral symptoms are screaming at me that I am NOT. Any support appreciated.
