I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, because I witnessed domestic violence from the ages of 10 to 13 (just recently, when my sister left the abuser) PTSD is caused by traumatic events, and it involves reliving events, for example, in my case, I saw my sister and the abuser hit each other pretty frequently, so when I see other people putting their hands on eachother (usually horseplay), I relive the moment, and its very terrifying. I have had nightmares, and sometimes images of the moments fly through my head. War veterans, people who have been raped or molested, people (very far off) who were in the Holocaust, situations like that. Email me at [email protected] if u want to talk.
