PTSD Symptoms: Re-Living a Traumatic Event Over and Over Again

If you have ever been the victim of a violent crime, gone to war, or experienced an event where you believed there was a chance you could die, you might be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is an anxiety disorder that sometimes develops after you are exposed to a horrifying event. At any given time, PTSD symptoms affect more than 7 million Americans. You don’t have to be the victim of an event to suffer from PTSD symptoms; sometimes people get PTSD symptoms after they witness others being harmed.

Whether PTSD symptoms occur after a mugging, child abuse, car crash, or hurricane, PTSD is a real disorder that gained public attention after it was diagnosed in war veterans. The following are common PTSD symptoms which may last months or even years after a traumatic event:

  • Suddenly and unexpectedly feeling as if the event is happening again
  • Flashbacks of the event which may be triggered by images, sounds, or smells
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Having nightmares about the event
  • Being afraid of locations that remind you of the event
  • Feeling jumpy, irritable, angry, and easily startled
  • Survivor guilt (feeling guilty because you lived when others did not)
  • Difficulties in relationships such as trust issues and inability to get emotionally close to others
  • Emotional numbness and detachment

The helplessness, horror, and fear that come with PTSD symptoms may become worse over time instead of better. Another difficulty with PTSD symptoms is that, even after they diminish, they can reemerge years later. For example, there have been reports that PTSD symptoms returned to many former PTSD patients after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

PTSD symptoms can be minor or severe, last a few months or become chronic. PTSD symptoms also can develop in any age group, including children. It is important to remember that PTSD symptoms are treatable and should be addressed before they develop into other illnesses such as substance abuse or depression.
