Thanks for sharing this difficult experience. I'm not a mental health professional. So I can't offer anything in the way of an official perspective. But this certainly sounds as though it would qualify as a PTSD-inducing experience to me.

Here are links to a selection of 9 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that (hopefully) may be of some help just in case you're not already familiar with them:
