Poll Which Ptsd Symptoms Bother You The Most?

My trigger panic attacks. ( I am not sure how to put it, or separate it, or describe it.) Maybe it should be described as day-terrors. I think I have described it similarly on other posts under different questions. ...but I just got through one. As I have slightly described before; its like a damn breaking panic attack that just rushes in. My reaction is going into a scream like waking up out of a nightmare. Accept I am i it awake. I can control it coming on. ...but when no one is around or home. I let it out. My face hurts, it gets hot-warm in my nerves all over, my muscles ache. I start screaming as I am being terrorized by some horrid creature inside me. Like a horror movie, except I'm running inside me from it. Not all of my triggers or panic attacks though, come about to a point of a day-terrors, as I have just described.

Reviving. I voted for hyperarousal a while back, but very thankfully, that has lessened. For the time being. In the long run, I think the triggers are the worst. Mine are very common things. Technology, for example. Social media. It's everywhere today. I hear about it and my brain'll just run with it. Back to the bad memories. Then everything follows. I'll either freak out, remember things, and/or go numb and blank. It's a slippery slope.

I don't even think this even counts as a symptom. But they certainly are annoying tenfold. I guess I'll go with flashbacks/intrusive thoughts/disassociation.

I can't really choose which one. It is between a physical reaction I get out of the blue (a flinch) anytime I think anyone/anything will start hitting or beating me, a slur/stammer I get when I'm nervous that developed with my PTSD, and the intrusive thoughts where I often hear my mum shrieking at me. The suicidal ideation is really bad, but I have had it so long, I don't know what it's like to not have it.
