I don't know: Dear annnnn, we don't know your history - so we can't even hazard a guess. Ptsd occurs after a life threatening or horrific trauma & has sxs of reliving, avoidance and hyperarousal.

Talk to a dr: If you have any symtpoms that you think may be related to PTSD, talk to your doctor. They are there to help and provide some guidance and direction. If you want to clarify your symptoms. Feel free to respond again.

Symptoms from these experiences include, hypervigilance, sleep loss, nightmares, reliving the trauma, social withdrawal, anhedonia, temper outbursts, emotional withdrawal, feelings of unfinished business, and adrenalin seeking.
