Halloween and Getting Over Flashbacks and and and Ugh....

So.... for Halloween I was Wednesday Addams.
Yeah.

So that was fun. Some friends and I ran down the street singing What Does The Fox Say...
A drunk was all like 'You guys are FUCKIN AWESOME!'
Lalala...

Some of the people that keep track know that I have certain issues. With abuse and whatnot.
Well I was in Lit. class the other day and I know it's stupid to still be freaked out but we had to write short stories about a strange tradition thing like Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery'.

Some girl wrote about a society where beatings are normal. And wrote it from the kid's point of view WAY too well. It was very triggering and for the rest of the day I couldn't even allow anyone to touch me and any kind of loud noise nearly gave me a heart attack.

I'm normally really good at not letting shit like that get to me or bring anything back, but it caught me off guard and I have no idea how to deal with it.
