Like I answered in one of the previous questions, don't be the judge yourself.

Go to somebody who specializes in these things and let them make the determination for you.

So I'm sorry that you're feeling those things, but what I can tell you is this, the hypervigilance, the angry outburst, seeing stuff in your peripheral vision, you can deal with all of these things.

But please do me a favor and go take the time to deal with them before they get worse.

Or even worse than that, you make the decision of just I'm just going to stuff these down even more because then whatever may happen in life, you're going to have some ups and downs.

My concern would be is when you have another down, they're going to be sitting there waiting for you.

And I don't want that.

And I'm legitimately talking about my own experiences in life.

I am the best suited to deal with things like this when I am at days where I'm doing my best.

But that's not when they show up.

Or maybe they do it, it just doesn't feel like it has the weight because I'm in such a better place to deal with it.

These things really hurt and they really drag you to the bottom of the pool when you're on the way down.

So that's where you can lean on others, professionals, friends, family, all of those things.

Don't be quiet.

You're not the only person that's ever had to deal with this.

Go out there, deal with it head on.

Your life will be better for it.

And again, congrats on the 29 years of being sober.

That's awesome.
