Dana,
Now that I am almost 2 yrs out of my diagnosis, I find myself
reacting emotionally (usually in my mind) to certain situations that never use to bother me before. These situations usually are brought on by another person's comments or attitudes. Most times this situations must seem very insignificant to others, but it can light a full on explosian in my head. I am not speaking directly in regards to the story you told us, but for my situations, I know my reactions have to do with all the multitude of issues I have had to deal with in the past with the bc.
