You just answered your own question Evie... which only you could have done. Saved me the trouble of telling you I don't know, only you do. You know you would like to return to an earlier time, being prior to the shooting. That would be what your sub-conscious feels.

You really once again answered this already, being you believe your damaged goods now from your trauma, and what did you say, "I feel like I would be a burden on anyone I was with."

This refers to commitment, being relationships with others, whether spouse, family or friend, that is up to you, as its your mental image. What you stated was: "It's a bit stained too on the inside, I think from coffee, because it's a brown stain." which you referred as coffee, being a liquid, which defers to the commitment towards someone or something less than totally honest. The coffee is a stain as you stated, so this is likely something that is lingering in your mind, though is off past nature, likely a commitment issue you had that maybe you still feel guilty for or the like, remembering, could be spouse, family or friend.
