You've already had to experience trauma once. You shouldn't have to keep reliving it. Are you constantly on edge, finding it exceptionally difficult to concentrate on everyday tasks and get a restful night's sleep? Do you feel detached from your emotions and find yourself unable to communicate with others or express affection? Do you experience frequent flashbacks, so vivid that it genuinely feels as if you had been teleported back in time to the exact moment the trauma occurred? If you answered 'yes' to all three questions, then you may be suffering from a condition called post-traumatic stress disorder. According to Mind, "PTSD is a type of anxiety disorder which you may develop after being involved in, or witnessing, traumatic events," which despite popular belief, is not only diagnosed in war veterans. The cause can range from sexual assault to working a job where you are repeatedly exposed to disturbing situations, but can also include any event where you feared for your life.
