Yes. And my Complex PTSD caused my Narcolepsy to be missed for a LOT of years because I had night terrors and disturbing vivid dreams and acted out a lot of them. So my Psychiatrist and I were talking the other day and my cataplexy is triggered by overwhelm, anxiety, fear, he thinks those are my triggers because of my PTSD. It exacerbates the emotions. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this too.
