Having these intrusive thoughts playing over and over in your head and not being able to stop them is called rumination. Rumination is a symptom of PTSD, but does not make it a diagnosis.
I wouldn't be so concerned with labeling your experiences at this point. If you have a T, I would suggest discussing this with them. If you don't have a T, I would suggest finding one. These traumatic wounds can scar over and get some pretty thick scar tissue, but inevitably they will always be festering wounds on the inside until your are able to heal them from the inside out. If you don't address them, they will continue to plague your life and they will break open and continue to fester.
I live with ruminative intrusive thoughts with my C-PTSD. It can be really exhausting.
Take care, and keep us posted if you like.
