A lot of my PTSD symptoms have really improved since I started treatment. Even my startle is not so bad now! However, if I get surprised or caught off guard, I am still quite likely to tear up and feel really out of control of my emotions. It's not like I burst into tears anything, but it's noticeable (for example, if I talk, my voice gives away how upset I am).

Intellectually, I know I'm probably having a fear reaction. Still, it feels like my reaction is "out of proportion," which I know is the PTSD, but it's embarrassing!

I'd just like to hear from other folks; do you have similar experiences? I'm hoping to feel less alone.
