I cant tell you if this is normal, PTSD, an anxiety disorder or any other mental or medical condition.

what I can tell you is that in ......me...... ptsd is a whole bunch of problems....

in me its having direct exposure to a traumatic event, having nightmares about the traumatic event, having flashbacks about the traumatic event and having panic attack about the traumatic event, Having intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event that affect what I am doing, having intense feelings about the traumatic event to the point where this affects other areas of my life, having unreasonable rage at myself or others because of the traumatic event, easily frustrated/ irritable because of the traumatic event, doing isolative behaviors when triggered because of the traumatic event, feeling numb and spaced out at times, all of which last longer than a month....

example when hurricane sandy hit our city many lost their homes, loved one. I lost my home, a dear relative died and it took a long time in a hotel with my wife and children before we could afford a new home, new personal belongings and be reunited with our pets.

for about a week now we have been planning for the storm called nor'eastern thats about to hit our city. through out all of this I am having all the above symptoms hitting me no matter what I am doing, its interfering with my time doing pleasurable family things, its interfering with my work, its causing me problems as I go about preparing for the upcoming storm...making sure our generators are working and have plenty of fuel, candles, emergency easy to prepare foods for a family of 6, making sure the pets are prepared and cared for.... I am living by lists because I can not concentrate, and I have to keep checking myself so that my mood isnt taken out on my wife who is very understanding and is doing her part of this and also helping me to stay grounded and calm as much as she possibly can too. I am also preparing for whats to come after the storm because I know my body well enough to know that just because the traumatic event is over there is going to be some time while I continue to have these same symptoms as my mind adjusts to what ever happened during this storm that may also relate to what we went though with hurricane sandy.

Again I cant tell you what it is called for what you are going through, for that you will need to contact your own treatment providers.

suggestion... if this continues to bother you contact a mental health treatment provider that can diagnose and treat you for what ever is going on.
