▲ 47 r/ptsd

I have ptsd from 3 SAs/rape that happened when I was 18-20 and I’m now 27. Other than struggling with new partners, I’m generally okay but this weekend my lodger got in my bed while drunk by mistake. Nothing happened, he honestly just tried to go to sleep but it was incredibly triggering. It’s all being sorted by other people but now my brain is convinced it made it all up and I’ve made a big deal out of nothing. Is this normal/expected with ptsd? How do I manage it when I don’t even trust myself? I really tried to process it properly at the time so it didn’t add to the trauma but it was an intense day
