How does blood pressure medication affect that?

I guess it slows down the adrenaline that's triggered metabolically. I get them constantly, I'm always cycling between 4-5 different nightmare/dreams (I hear you, they aren't like running for my life nightmares just somatic flashbacks). They're always the same and I always become lucid once I recognize the scene and then I experience the rest like I'm directing the characters.
Group was ok. We talked about "urge surfing." There are a lot of people in recovery there, and it's interesting how much I can relate my experiences with eating disorders with their experiences of addiction. I don't think it's going to be enough for me, I need more individualized attention, but it's a good start. And I'm only like the 3rd worst looking in the room so.
