PTSD?

I'm not saying that I have PTSD at all because I wasn't diagnosed with it

But isn't it just weird and really off that I get TERRIFIED when I hear my phone go off when I get a notification? (Whenever I put the sound on) I don't get THAT scared about a notification when I see that it's from like an app like YouTube or just my email but when I see that it's from a person (anyone) I have an automatic panic attack (my heart starts racing really fast just like that, I feel like I'm going to be sick automatically, I start shivering so so bad and I feel really really dizzy)

I guess because I have really bad experiences with talking to people in general because a lot of people have bullied me online (and offline/in public) so it's just really really really terrifying to me.

Oh, don't saddle yourself with the PTSD title when one type of notification makes you anxious. Perhaps with some desensitisation work you'll be much more comfortable. PTSD can involve a number of other factors and unpleasant issues to address....Maybe you can try to change the sound on your phone, or go without sound for awhile....use vibrate.
