I have severe night terrors, feel emotionally and sometimes even physically numb, and feel constantly on edge and 'rattling' from the inside out (have more symptoms, but they are not specific to PTSD). Due to my night terrors, I have insomnia from fear of these nightly experiences. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia (oye, quite a list!). My therapist thinks I might also have PTSD, but I've never experienced the 'T.' In my opinion, a parent's divorce, father's disownment, grandfather's sickness, or generally a hard time in life hardly constitute a trauma. Compared to others who have fought wars, been abused, or have other traumatic things happen to them, I'm pretty well off. So, in your opinion, is this a weird presentation of PTSD or something else?
