I've thought a thread on PTSD would be helpful here.I guess my SA it's somehow related to PTSD, which I've developed after being bullied for 3 years.I searched the most common symptoms:
•Frequently having upsetting thoughts or memories about a traumatic event.
•Having recurrent nightmares.
•Acting or feeling as though the traumatic event were happening again, sometimes called a "flashback."
•Having strong feelings of distress when reminded of the traumatic event.
•Being physically responsive, such as experiencing a surge in your heart rate or sweating, to reminders of the traumatic event.
•Making an effort to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations about the traumatic event.
•Making an effort to avoid places or people that remind you of the traumatic event.
•Having a difficult time remembering important parts of the traumatic event.
•A loss of interest in important, once positive, activities.
•Feeling distant from others.
•Experiencing difficulties having positive feelings, such as happiness or love.
•Feeling as though your life may be cut short.
•Having a difficult time falling or staying asleep.
•Feeling more irritable or having outbursts of anger.
•Having difficulty concentrating.
•Feeling constantly "on guard" or like danger is lurking around every corner.
•Being "jumpy" or easily startled.
If smb relates to this disorder, I think it would be useful at least to discuss about our experience.
