Question:
"Hi there. I understand that hypervigilance can be a sign of PTSD. Perhaps "hypervigilance" is a psychological term. I couldn’t find it in the dictionary. I agree. It can be a sign of PTSD. Women who have been raped can be hypervigilant around men. War veterans can be hypervigilant in crowds and noisy environments.

"What you said about being hypervigilant rang a bell with me. "Could you tell me more about the term and your experience. I made the word up, Eric. I used it to mean a keen awareness of people and events around me. For example, when I shop for groceries, if someone stands beside me, I freeze, in a very subtle way, until they’ve moved on. "My own comes from very early. I think my… "(no, some other time) …….and I am constantly looking around "for where my death is coming from.
