@merpreb I always read the paperwork that comes with a medication. This one slipped by me. I'd have objected. I talked with the pharmacist about it and she recommended that I have an injection. I need to ask the pharmacist what the injection would be.

A psychologist said at a conference I attended, " Our brain is designed to be able to move thoughts into an archive file, close it off, so bad memories are stored in that archive, but we still can gain access to the account." That's been helpful to me for many years, knowing that those memories are still in that part of my brain, but shut off from view. They're back there somewhere, but not in the daily functioning space.

At another conference, a speaker suggested that we write a letter to the person who caused us pain, even if they're already in the grave. He told us that we could choose either to put it in the mail, or tear it up and burn it. I chose to write a letter to a former boss, and mailed it to him. It felt like that particular piece of my PTSD was dealt with, and found that I could move on. He responded to my letter (this was before texting and emailing were created), and expressed that my letter had meant a lot to him. That added another layer to the trauma he had caused in my life.

Well, it's Sunday afternoon, and that means nap time.
