Nice story, Harley.  Made me smile, and shake my head because I know I sound like my parents more as I get older (and swore I wouldn't when younger!)
I've always had terrible anxiety since young. Â Anxiety and OCD run on both sides of my family, so I think it was probably unavoidable for me.
Then life events, added to my nature, resulted in big old anxiety disorder, and PTSD as well.
I wanted to ask if anyone here has episodes of PTSD that can become so severe it causes physical symptoms? Or knows about that?
Experienced this at past holidays and weeks into 2016, worst ever I think. Â Has taken me couple months to get it under control (if it is)...
However, I'm not sure if it was strictly PTSD or if the anxiety, nightmares etc perhaps caused my medical condition to flare up, and maybe it was not PTSD that directly caused the severe physical problems for me? It sure felt like the PTSD was attacking my entire body.
Thanks in advance for any info on this.
