Does This Sound Like PTSD?

[Kat_21]

I just had a fairly bad flashback of having a near death experience and being in the hospital. I was thinking about it being a year since it happened and it like played over again in my head very vividly. I couldn't control myself and I was crying hysterically and screaming and I don't usually talk about this kind of stuff but it actually really scared me. It took quite some time to snap out of it.

I've messaged a doctor about it, but I was wanting to know if I'm just making a big deal out of nothing.

If it had that much of an impact on you, you’re definitely not making a big deal over nothing. It was a good move messaging your doctor, I hope you find what you need

You are definitely not making a big deal out of nothing. It is to be expected to have those feelings when you have had a traumatic experience in the past.

I'm just hoping it doesn't happen often. I've never experienced it before. But thank you.
