I hope this is the right forum to post this, but the problem is that I am 11 years old, and for the longest time I believe I've been suffering from PTSD. I recently looked at a website and read about the symptoms of someone who has been traumatized/or has PTSD. I have pretty much all the symptoms. I remember it said that the longer you wait to be treated for this, the more likely all the symptoms would become permanent. And if I remember correctly, the first time I was most likely traumatized was when I was 6. So I guess its been 5 years. I think the most traumatizing event happened when I was 8. My older brother was in a really bad mood and we had just ordered pizza, when I was trying to get my plate my brother tried moving me out of the way and started yelling at me. Then he took a fork and cornered me by the wall, and he threatened to kill me. Then after that he and my dad started fighting, and my dad punched my brother in the head, and of course, there was some blood. This happened again recently, my brother and my dad got in ANOTHER Fight, and this time it was much more violent and bloody. A lot more happened, but I wanna get to the point here. I've been getting flashbacks of all this lately, usually at night. So my questions are: 1. How do I stop these flashbacks, 2. Is there any way that I could control my anger easier, cause I think that's also a problem. And 3. What can I do about my brother? He put a fork up to me and threatened to kill me! Isn't that like attempted murder? I've always felt there was something bad about him, and I don't want to live with a murderer! And honestly, I want him in jail. Please don't say I'm strange or dramatic for saying all this (which maybe I am..) but I just really need some answers for these questions so maybe then I can improve my life somehow? Thanks.
