@Leysa Welcome to the forum! :)

You have every right to be angry that someone shot you and murdered your sister. However, the problem with PTSD is the fight response and the corresponding anger can become the go to response for things that don't warrant that type of response. Personally, I felt like there was a switch that was stuck.

I found the information here helped me to understand what was going on and to make the changes necessary to break the cycle. For me anger was a response for a lot of things, but especially fear and the fear had spread to things that before I wouldn't even find frightening. I hope you find this site beneficial to your own healing.

Thank you! Everything you just stated is true! I live in fear everyday. Fear of being hurt again...fear of letting anyone get close to me emotionally!
