I was diagnosed with PTSD as a child because I was sexually abused and it was made worse by getting raped at 16 by my father's friend. I used to have TERRIBLE night terrors when I was really little and I'd wake up in random places screaming or throwing things. Well fast forward a few years and the memories started playing through my head about everything I had been through. I'm talking like a tape recorder of everything I had ever done wrong or had ever happened to me. Fast forward later, after I was raped I had the "broken record" thing in my head where I would lay in bed and remember everything but I had no nightmares. Then, a few weeks ago... my brother and sister came back into my life but not under good circumstances. My sister had tried to kill herself and since then I have been under so much stress that I'm not eating, when I close my eyes the night terrors hit me FULL force so I'm scared to go to sleep because I get where I can't even wake myself up. Recently I woke up under my bed screaming with no recollection of how I got there? Then the "broken record" started playing over and over. Every time I am alone (which is a lot of the time) I just get these memories, and they just burn in my head like a photograph lit on fire... I don't know if this is a mix of disorders or if it is my PTSD? Does anyone go through similar situations?
