Question of the Day!

A list of 5 from least to worst:

5. Having a gun (real or fake... never knew) put to my head. I was cool and collected.

4. Being forced to drive to the border (I stopped at the precinct instead). I was mindful and focused.

3. Waking up to someone in my room standing by my closet. I was screaming and hysterical.

2. Being caught in a riptide, Cahuita, 1974 whilst I was walking alone. I was terrified and panicked!

1. A couple events from my childhood I cannot remember. I still am frightened of heights/edges and despise birthday parties.

Trauma is never what happens. It's how the body reacts. Being homeless triggered traumas and was traumatizing in itself. I have a whole list for that and other events. My high-anxiety and deep-depression stem from those. I'm actually doing much better these days.
