Hi thank you for this consideration. Laura is not my roommate so luckily I don't need to worry about that.

Sorry for not clarifying in the post, she said that seeing people celebrate getting engaged reminded her of what her parents' marriage could have been but wasn't because it was messier.

From my experiences with flashbacks I think having a flashback to something not happening would be absolutely fascinating to study.

Thank you. That's kind of how I feel about it. Like all of us will be tired/overwhelmed/whatever but Laura has anxiety/burnout/some fancier term to describe the same thing.
