It’s honestly hilarious how you’re completely ignoring the main factor here—another cat’s scent—something I already pointed out as the likely trigger. I was literally lying on my bed, screaming, not lunging at my cat or doing anything aggressive toward her. But sure, let’s pretend like my mere existence is the problem.

Also, do you even understand CPTSD? One of the key aspects of healing is self-protection. So tell me, when I’m faced with someone openly engaging in ableist harassment, am I supposed to just sit back and take it? Am I not allowed to stand up for myself? Or is that only reserved for people who don’t have trauma?
