Nothing like getting a nasty flashback out of nowhere

Was helping my mom clear out a closet filled with some of my old stuff when I found something that just had to remind me of something traumatic from my past. Don’t ask. I have my PTSD under control for the most part, but every now and then I’ll get triggers like that to remind me that it’s still under the surface. At least it felt satisfying when I threw that thing that triggered me in the trash.
