Hey there! I'm not sure if this is the right place,but after some research it seems like the most fitting place to seek answers. I recently lost everything in a house fire. My daughters and I were away and no one was hurt. It has been ruled arson and no one has been charged as of yet. It has not quite been three months yet and I recently have been experiencing extreme mood swings,irritability,sadness,tears as well as jumpiness and spurts of unexplained energy. It seems to be delayed,as if the reality of what has happened has set in once the survival mode wore off and we became settled again. Unfortunately, I find myself seeking reasons to disconnect myself from those I care about. Are these symptoms of post traumatic stress and/or depression and what can I do to regain a normal mental balance?
