It took me a while to learn all of the signs and triggers.
Hope this helps.
My best to you.

I too am figuring out my triggers. I am having trouble with people at work who know I cannot handle flashing lights, being stupid. I told my boss it isn't like I can just say I am ok once the flashing lights are turned off, because my brain has gone into "fight or flight" mode and it won't listen to reason for a few hours minimum. Now I am beginning to have the feeling just being there because my mind is on alert for trouble. Arrggggh! I have 9 days off between Christmas and New Years to clear my thoughts. If it goes right back to "fight or flight" after the new year, I have decisions to make.
