When I was at my first doctor appointment and they asked if had any traumatic experiences lately, I lied and said no. Only because the relatives in the office tell me everything is all my fault.

Stress can definitely be a trigger! We have the first day of the new school year starting Tuesday, and I'm a wreck! Even though it's my 25th year teaching--I'm always a wreck. We have a couple of new administrators. I have told them about my condition and about allowances that need to be made for me. I have some colleagues who know, but I don't share it with everyone. Your first responsibility is to yourself....
