So I have not been diagnosed with PTSD, however, for the first time last week I had been triggered and broke down into tears and was pretty paralyzing. I had snapped back into the moment I was raped, even though I was not in harm’s way at all, I guess the setting was the same. I have never dealt with this, and I had been recently diagnosed with Bipolar disorder II and began taking buspar(3 weeks in today taking it regularly) until I find the right medication to take. Last night, I had night terrors so severe and pretty much was reliving most of my traumatic experiences(rape, abortion, abuse, etc.). I had to leave my home where I was alone and afraid of hurting myself. Gratefully my boyfriend is great and doesn’t mind me waking him up at 3 am with an episode. I’m just wondering is this something I should tell my dr right away or can it wait until my appointment next week?

Again this has never in my life happened to me and i'm worried.
