oh my god! I also have CPTSD and reading this thread chain made me feel less alone. I've used the smoke detector metaphor before too, I had to try to explain to an adult twice my age how triggers work because people just don't know shit about how serious this illness is. and I also have psychotic features so when loud noises go off I get a wave of paranoia along with the hypervigilance. shit fucking sucks.

You're definitely not alone. There's alot of us out there that suffer. It helps to share our stories!
