Others find out you have PTSD when they make the mistake in hitting you only to find themselves waking in an ambulance! (Explaination: Was hit by a man while working, long incident short: I reverted to when I was in a hand to hand battle.)

You know you have PTSD when you stutter when you try to tell someone how you feel about them because you don't often let your emotionial side be known.
