My pdoc said I have it to some extent because of the psychosis I had but now I think about it I gor bullied everyday in school until I was 16 and left …since then I recreate the situation in my mind in every job I go to…people don’t like me or want me there so I end up leaving to avoid the whole situation and feeling that really takes me back to my childhood
I think flashbacks is a major symptom of PTSD, if it is just anxiety based there might be better dxs for it. Your pdoc would know more about it than me though.

I have severe PTSD. I don’t know how to help myself. I can’t figure it out. I tried CBT, medications of sorts, supplements.
It causes so much pain. I remember my psychotic episode. People maybe thought I was on drugs but GOD I had lost it completely.
I was in solitary for six months in 2015 and I feel fantastic these days. I don’t think it affects everybody. Plus I heard it usually goes away after a few years. I don’t know, maybe some people cling to the past more than others. Also got a lot of physical abuse as a child, doesn’t stop me from being happy. I cope by pretending the past doesn’t exist, just live in the now.
Depends upon who you ask or what you read.
Abuse in any form is still causing problems.
That includes self-harm.
