It's been a year and a half for one of the causes of my PTSD and two years for the other. Both still give me a LOT of nightmares and trigger anxiety and panic/fear from certain television content, conversational topics or even simple gestures people make everyday.

Stress definitely plays a role in my ptsd symptoms... nightmares and flashbacks are worse. think the body/mind gets hyper-vigilant when we are under stress, so we are even unconsciously sensing triggers.....
