PTSD: You probably do. If you have gone through a traumatic experience - it is likely that you are suffering from PTSD. If this has lasted more than 4 weeks please get some help. Talk to your PCP and have him/her refer you to a specialist.

We can't diagnose: this on-line. You certainly have symptoms that are suggestive of possible PTSD. I would encourage you to obtain a thorough evaluation by a psychiatrist or a psychologist. Be well.
