Welcome to Psych Central (PC) CherokeeDove. Sorry to hear you have been suffering from PTSD but glad to hear you are came to PC. I know that as a survivor you don't think that was such a big deal, but on the other hand I saw a documentary about the Moore tornado and it was from the perspective of a family. It was just terrifying to watch.
I believe you when you say you feel you have symptoms of PTSD.

Getting sleep may be the single one thing that keeps me in balance. If you are not sleeping or having bad side affects, contact your doctor or psychiatrist and tell him what is happening so you can make adjustments.

Some people at PC will find a therapist will also help them sort out the roots of their life.

Many people find compassionate, caring people here at PC. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
