Perhaps I should have been more specific on my "blown away" description; my trailer was blown over a year and a few months ago with my entire family in it. I have a good deal of panic now when I hear the wind whistling by our current place or see the trees tossing in the breeze. I appreciate you sharing your experiences; it reminds me that there are so many more ways to react to the world around us than so many of my "medically experienced" family knows about.

And I really like your comments on "just" anxious. Yeah, I have a lot of PTSD troubles from several very different situations, the tornado only one of the more recent. And I feel sure that many of my reactions are triggered by these memories. But I have had "atypical" physical reactions that had no discernible outside trigger that were the beginning of panic attacks, as well, and I've come to recognize many of them as being SPD related. I guess my biggest problem now is figuring out the difference between the two on the fly. I have been fortunate enough to get extensive amounts of therapy for PTSD, so that helps tremendously. But when I am panicking because I am feeling something unusual in my body, how much of that is PTSD on auto-pilot, assuming the worst about what I'm feeling, and how much of it is SPD? That's a question only I can find an answer to, and it's a really difficult one for me to figure out. But if I can figure out how much some free-floating anxiety can affect SPD issues, that should help.

Sixth sense, well, I keep getting told I have a lot of that. lol I kind of have to wonder if most people with SPD do. But that's neither here nor there. I often get some good intuitive direction from my feelings, but I have to ignore a lot of fear and panic ones because they tend to go overboard if I don't. Sad and scary at the same time. But you have a good point there, too. And I've been making some progress there.
