Tara, I would suggest you seek a physician for correct diagnosis as matching symptoms is not a match for PTSD. PTSD actually has criteria beyond theoretical, it extends to behavioural and physical symptoms, which only a physician can assess face to face. You may find your telling yourself you have something that you just may not, which means your going in the wrong direction. Maybe you do have it, but self diagnosis is not even close to accurate. If you read the criteria for acute anxiety disorder, which is PTS, you would say the same thing, that must be me. The same goes for lots of disorders.... you could match yourself to many symptoms, but they are just a theoretical model to help a physician assess an illness, often there are many other elements which are not listed in the theory context as they must assessed.
