a public place or even non-public. I’ve had PTSD/Cptsd since I was very young. i have a lot of trauma and flashbacks with a lot of situations, emotions, and people–but people judge me when I panic anytime im at a gas station due to a situation that happened when I was younger. is this something else anyone else experiences and are you comfortable sharing your place?

Absolutely! Hospitals after cancer treatment. It’s difficult to stay on top of routine and follow-up care when going to those places is terrifying.
The treadmill at my gym… it knows too much.
There is a street corner I feel uncomfortable driving past because I always remember my mom having a screaming fit at me there. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go back to a childhood apartment, where most of the abuse occurred. The memories/ dreams/ nightmares alone send me into spirals.
I also really struggle with a certain time of day/sunlight level. I have no idea why, but I feel a deep deep dread at sunset when streetlights are also on but it’s not dark out yet, and everything is orange. I feel the need to get to a safe place, like I should not be outside.
