1. "Just get over it!"
Ohhh, that one really gets to me for so many reasons.

2. "You're just dwelling in the past!"
Its not like I CHOSE to have nightmares, intrusive thoughts, etc. Believe me if I could stop thinking about it I would!

3. "You're blowing it out of proportion."
Who gave anyone else the right to determine what is a big deal to ME? If you take a crayon from a kid and the kid cries is it blowing it out of proportion? Huh? Its just a crayon! But at that point in the kid's life its important! Likewise, something that someone else doesn't understand might bother ME a lot!
