I think most that struggle with PTSD feel this way 88Butterfly88.

For myself, I had felt that the challenge of PTSD was taking away from my identity. I did not understand why I was struggling. I have found myself very confused about why I was bothered by different things that I had not had problems with before where while I might have recognized certain things I did not like or experiences that challenged me in some way, I managed to move forward anyway. With the PTSD I am a lot more sensitive and have found myself bothered in a very different way and I found myself very confused by how I had become so sensitive, not even on a conscious level but more on a deep subconscious level.

Each individual experiences a higher degree of sensitivity that is very confusing. It does take time to understand it and figure out what the different sensitivities are. It is very important to understand that you are still you and that what has changed that has created a hightened sensitivity is a normal reaction to "trauma".

It is time to work through these sensitivities you are experiencing and each individual is going to be unique in whatever ways they developed these different sensitivities. It is important to learn to be "patient" with self as you slowly work through these sensitivites and gradually heal and learn how to manage better. It is important to understand it is not your fault and allow yourself to heal.
