Hi barefootrunner, welcome to Psych Central (PC). Congrats on your improvement in protecting your body from harm. So sorry about your parents. Any crisis is so hard for some people to deal with.

Well the PC family is here to empathize and hear your stories. We don't have all the answers but we can listen and share.

After hearing your dreams and hallucinations? I am not surprised you scored high on the PTSD quiz. Stress and trauma could come in many forms. It can take time working with a therapist trained in PTSD or abuse to uncover some of the roots. You seem like you are not fooled by these dreams but they seem to be possibly upsetting you.
