Ugh, you've gotten the 'but you don't look afraid/upset/distressed' lines too?
I do the holding my breath thing. And I get tense. Way more of a danger to myself than other people though.
I just can not understand the logic of people pushing at someone else or me when he/she says 'can't do this'. I've gotten fierce about it in the past 2 years, my typical response is a very loud 'because I said I can't now go fuck yourself'.
Not the most coherent thoughts on the matter. Thank you for sharing, this all makes a whole lot of sense to me, even though we don't react the same way (which isn't surprising, I don't have the PTSD component wrecking merry hell with my brain)
