Have you or did you experience any signifigant traumatic events as a child? You dont have to be specific if you care not to. Just interested, as I have similar thought disorders and am an abuse survivor. I think Im ADD and GAD and a half a dozen other things as well, but Im sure the Post Trauma thing is a big factor for me in how I handle "problems"
> I don't know, I do not think my reaction to the dog was really bad at all. A stray dog who is barking and growling and obviously upset is kind of scary. It was the reaction I had to thinking I had not felt sorry for the little dear at the same time which bugged me more.

> How we are preceived as people is tied to our survival I guess and I haven't made as much progress towards being independent again after my accident as I want. So I'm thinking my reaction is kind of tied to this little life situation. I'd be upset to find I can't be taken care of anymore because I show upset towards little dogs. :D funny eh

> come to think of it, most of the setbacks in my progress have come through emotional upset more than any other cause. I get upset and then feel bound by my own emotions and can't think streight to do schoolwork or dont' have the emotional drive to do exercises. There was a period when anger was a huge factor becasue I was angry at how I got hurt at work and how perceived friends turned on me and other people and things durring a long time of unrest. I finally came to the conclusion that I don't like being being subject to my emotions all the time. So I've started trying meditation with some success.
