We can really help non-sufferers understand our symptoms when we verbalize them in ways they can understand.
The hypervigilance seems to be one of my most troubling quality of life destroying symptoms.
I suspect possibly those of us with PTSD may be of help to others who cannot speak about this symptom, such as those with autism.
By finding good ways of describing these symptoms, hopefully we can help the medical community understand what this symptom is like from the inside. I truly hope that the way I feel in hypervigilance is NOT what people with autism experience EVERY day...it is really debilitating.
My hypervigilance feels like my body has been put on hyperalert status and my skin, senses have all lost their filter, making all input...vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell...feel physically painful, overwhelming, and make me feel like any solution at all, no matter how destructive, would be welcome.
