I find this interesting. When 9-11 occurred, I didnt have cable or any antennae reception where i lived therefore, I didnt see any footage on Tv regarding the terrorist attack. I moved during that year and had antennae reception by the first anniverary. Prior to viewing anything I had aonly read bits and pieces. I was ona plane the night before and had been transferred from my original flight because of thunderstorms at LaGuardie NY airport. I had been asked if I would like a hotel room to wait until morning but I declined. I needed to get back really bad for some reason, I was feeling anxious. Anyhow, the PTSD symptoms has been lurking for years but I did not know. The only channels I could receive were basic channels on tv and when i turned it on I could not move from in front of the tv. I was glued to it crying my eyeballs out. I had been using other obssesive rituals like housecleaning, schedules, overprotective parenting...but then...I fell into another unhealthy relationship which has been a fatal pattern with me. The only difference with the last two relationships I have involved myself in is neiether one has been physically abusive. Which may be because I got out of it in time and being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Perhaps some recovery has been sticking also. I havent ever watched anything that destructive again and I wont whenever there is something on about it. It was a major trigger.
