Hello jtaylor: Thank you for sharing your concern here on PC. I see this is your first post. Welcome to Psych Central.

I'm sorry I don't believe there are any insights I can offer with regard to what you are experiencing. Perhaps there will be other PC members who will have some insights they can offer. However since you posted this in the PTSD forum, here's a link to an article, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of PTSD:

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
