Traumas happen to many competent, healthy, strong, good people. No one can completely protect him- or herself from traumatic experiences.
Many people have long-lasting problems following exposure to trauma. Up to 8% of individuals will have PTSD at some time in their lives.
People who react to traumas are not going crazy. They are experiencing symptoms and problems that are connected with having been in a traumatic situation.
Having symptoms after a traumatic event is not a sign of personal weakness. Many psychologically well-adjusted and physically healthy people develop PTSD. Probably everyone would develop PTSD if they were exposed to a severe enough trauma.

Todays posts make it sound like dark clouds prevail in Xanadu. Seems unlikely to last too long for such a lucky gal. I trust a kat like you will claw your way back on top in short order. Perhaps a healthy dose of catnip, chasing the ball of string and some vodka will help clear the skies and get you kicked out of the Trauma Department.
