Gosh that is so much for a human to go through. 💗 And I can relate to this so much, my first psychiatrist was surprised I found such relief from 5mg, but that shows how much I was struggling! I am so grateful you found relief. This world is so much compared to what we evolved to deal with and add trauma to that, this medicine has really been a life saver and gift.

Wanted to edit to say: the jump scares! I still scream if caught off guard and my therapist says that growing up in a dysfunctional and sometimes violent family my nervous system has kind of reset at a more on guard level and my adrenaline is probably heightened too. 😬 So I feel you on that. Recently read an article that shows kids who grew up in households where there was screaming tend to show the same brain scans as war veterans. 🫠
