This smell trigger is killing me

muddmuddMember
How do I get rid of this?
Local farmers manured their fields this afternoon. Normally I love the smell, but since being diagnosed w/ this PTSD this smell is an overwhelming trigger & it's everywhere! Whole stupid town smells & they do it @ least 2
More times this yr. At first I felt paralyzed & flooded w/ flashbacks. Now I feel like a caged animal & can't get away from it. I closed the windows I'n my bedroom & turned a/c on but rest of house stinks.
How do I get rid of a trigger this big that,right now is everywhere!
Help please. Thank you

Thank you! Didn't think of the Vicks rub so I just found some.
I have a couple candles burning in my bedroom 2 help w/smell & hopefully get me thru the night. Not sure what house will smell like in the morning & how much its sathrated into everything like curtains, couch etc.
Next time they do it we'll probably have a/c on but its still there just in a breeze.
I hate the way this diagnosis has taken away things I most deearly loved especially from my childhood & I'm cutting it out of my own kids cchildhood!

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
