That was an interesting bit of reflection. I don't have a disorder, but I have experienced way more anxiety in my life than I had thought. Some of those photos conjured up streams of memories I had long forgotten. Those photos were intensely familiar, but the others I could only appreciate vaguely on an intellectual level. One or two I didn't even get. I could really feel myself sitting just off screen crying in the shot of the door with the keys or trying to stop the glass of milk from spilling. I always thought I started taking the bull by the horns, because I was tired of being afraid. I suspect my fight or flight reaction just started swinging the other way. Maybe a bit of both.
