I would like to talk with other people who have PTSD. I have had it since 1997 when I suffered 2 gunshots from a 9mm, while being 7 1/2 months pregnant. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. At that same moment a very close friend of mine suffered from one shot and died right in front of me. Since this......I have never been the same. I have so many symptoms....from depression .........to the whole startling reflex thing that is soooooo annoying to me...and I fear one day I could suffer a heartattack. I just feel so fragile and moreso recently.......I don't know why!!!!!!!!! I just don't know how to cope because no one around me has been through what I have........has someone out there somewhere been through anything like my experience?????? Help! I'm sick of it!
