I agree _Sky. There are many, many reasons for it.

My T was explaining to me how I tend to get more accident prone when my PTSD is heightened and that I need to slow down and try to concentrate so I don't hurt myself.

Somehow I never remember that till it's too late.

Common“symptoms”
after exposure to trauma or loss.

•Physical: fatigue, appetite change,
sleep loss, tension, being more
accident prone.

•Cognitive: “spacing out,”decreased
ability to focus or concentrate,
forgetfulness.

•Emotional: frustration, anxiety,
depression, mood swings, nightmares.

•Social: isolation from others,
intolerance, lashing out, distrust,
lowered sex drive.

•Spiritual: emptiness, loss of direction,
doubt, apathy.
