 For those with PTSD: How did it happen? Is it possible for PTSD to emerge a lot later? For me there is one episode that lasted 3 years, but I didn't start reliving it all the time until years later, because I always thought I would escape my situation. When I had problems as an adult and had to face the possibility of going back to live with my emotionally abusive parents I started obsessing over the past.
I dropped out of school at 15 because of anxiety, depression, undiagnosed autism and the big one, unrecognized learning disabilities.
The isolation I had for the next four years seems to have taken a huge emotional toll, but I don't know if it was things that happened later that did it. I don't really know if I have CPTSD but a lot of the criteria seem to fit.

Re: For those with PTSD: How did it happen? Two things.
1) Discovered a dead body alone. I want to say I didn't panic, but I know I did. Fucking scary, to tell the truth.
2) My mother suddenly passed, and our family relations have forever been weakened. I rarely get support from my father.

If I'm gone for a week, don't fret HikiCulture.
If I'm gone for a month, it's no big deal.
If six months pass by, something is up.
If I'm gone for a year, assume that I am dead.

Re: For those with PTSD: How did it happen? That sounds like two really traumatic, sudden incidents. I'm sorry for your loss. I would be in the same situation without my mother. Just curious if people's symptoms started right away or came on later.

Re: For those with PTSD: How did it happen? I think I can relate to that.

Re: For those with PTSD: How did it happen? For me, seeing my father try to kill my mother was something that definitely traumatized me.
As the days go on, I don't really think about it much, but, sometimes it will just come back to me out of nowhere.
But I definitely believe that PTSD can emerge a lot later, once our subconscious starts realizing things, I suppose.

You can get PTSD at anytime,,, maby once the "shock" wears off . . .

Re: For those with PTSD: How did it happen? Thanks everyone for giving me an idea of what onset is like. I sometimes feel as though I have CPTSD (is it possible to be just a "little" traumatized?!). But can't entirely understand the origins. Maybe I will understand as the feelings get stronger and I try to figure out what is triggering panic attacks.
