It was good that you made the attempt to "get this out" Irine. I can actually relate to what you are describing. PTSD is most definitely a package of challenges that for the individual struggling, is an effort to understand and articulate.

I find that when I make it a point to make an effort, even in presenting my opinion on something, I can end up facing some kind of disapproval that can lead to me feeling "depressed" or challenged in ways I struggle to articulate effectively. I too am sensitive to loud noises. I do struggle with a lot of anticipation anxiety which is also common to the challenge of PTSD as one of the challenges within this disorder is "anxiety". I can relate to feeling tired because if I experience a trigger of somekind and struggle with an anxiety attack they notoriously tire me out. This is because experiencing a challenging anxiety attack can actually feel like one has ran a marathon.
