PTSD from a recent event? piling on top of the other? i mean, would it just kick my old or can i actually have two cases of PTSD?

let me explain. since my father died, i've been having PTSD symptoms regarding his horrible death. it was very traumatic to watch...his suffering and bodily things that i could never mention.

i never dream and since then have been dreaming. also, i've been having intrusive thoughts during the day and then again at nite...racing. i feel panicky and comparing my own body to his, etc. it's getting increasingly worse. i haven't mentioned it to t because i want us to stay on track. gosh, i have more than my hands full there already.

i feel like it's all too much. could this be PTSD or a form of grief that i'm not aware of that mimics PTSD?

thanks for any input.
