Traumatic experience

It's coming up to a year now that something happened to me which triggered all this anxiety/panic attacks etc. I can't help but find myself thinking 'why aren't I better now?! Why do I still feel as scared as I did when it first happened at times?!' What are other people's experiences with things like ptsd? Will time make it better, maybe I need to stop being so hard on myself? Deep down I know I'm a lot better than I was but I still have the odd day where it's all I can think about and I still get that scared feeling

you may have PTSD it is when a trauma is not dealt with when it happens.. please don't be so hard on yourself.. seek medical help as you might need therapy x
