Kathy,

I know that earlier this week when I had memories come back to me that I was also having flashbacks (actually it was Evie that made that connection for me). I know that all I wanted to do when this was going on was to 'go away'. Just lay down and leave reality. Not catatonic, but just get away from reality (and everything/everyone else) for a while. And you're right...although both are quiet, there is a marked difference between this and being withdrawn. Internal feelings are quite different, too.

Maybe her grieving for Brian and her grieving from the shooting are overlapping in her mind. Dissociating, for me at least, is what happens when I have an overload of feelings, memories or emotions.
