The diagnosis doesn't define you. And I would think after doing some basic research of this, I'll say condition, I wouldn't be surprised if you don't start seeing the symptoms.
For me, I relieved to put a reason behind feeling like I've been shot when I hear loud noises. Or if someone walks around a corner or seemingly pop out of no where, again, I feel like I've been shot. Also, I physically shutter for a moment and it takes awhile to realize I'm ok.
Also, I've always had recurrent thought that would build up to a panic attack. Plus, my aggression and impulsive striking of my self if I'm taking into too much pressure.
Ive been like this since as long as I can remember. I didn't complain because I'm used to this. Been going on since grade school.
So, don't feel like your life is going to change. Your T just finally recognized all the signs together add up to PTSD. It may help them more effectively address your issues and find more effective game plan.
