Masks are problematic for me for more reasons than just the general discomfort of wearing one. I had not been having too much problem with PTSD mostly just angst that could be from any situation. But since I started wearing the bandana (not a mask if at all possible!) even that is triggering something that must be related to PTSD. Now as I go through the day, even when I am careful to keep (maybe because it is even then barely within) the bandana out of my sight, I feel like there is always something in my peripheral that I can't quite ever see, and it is about to cause me to jump and turn at points.
I can wear glasses, no problem... Good thing too, 'cause I can't read without the damned things any more.... So maybe I'll get over the bandana making me jumpy, but I think it has to do with not being able to see other people's faces, even if the bandana is not too bad now that the weather has shifted.
