I completely agree with "Purple" -- this is something that is quite private, and you have to determine who is safe to tell. If the one neighbor is REALLY trustworthy, and you KNOW he won't be telling others, then by all means, share it with him, but you do NOT have to go into details. Share what YOU think is appropriate -- just enough so that he understands what is going on.
And don't say you aren't "normal" -- you're normal for a person who has PTSD. You certainly are NOT abnormal!! You are a person who has gone thru some very disturbing trauma! There are many others who have gone thru such events too, so you're not "abnormal." My heart goes out to you as I'm sure it's frightening to have these flashbacks!
I hope you're in therapy too because you really should be in order to deal with the PTSD. If you're not, please find a therapist who deals with this disorder!!!
I wish you the very best. Please take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
