You’ve experienced something traumatic—maybe lots of traumatic things—and you can’t stop reliving it

You are hyper-alert, on-guard, and determined not to allow something else bad happen

You are isolated because you don’t feel like leaving your home or engaging with other people or the world around you

You feel worthless, unlovable, or like you are a failure

You are constantly on the go and find it nearly impossible to slow down and be present in the moment

You feel irritable, angry, anxious, depressed— your emotions all feel big and unpredictable and out of your control

You feel oddly detached or “flat” or you just don’t feel anything at all

You can’t stop arguing with your spouse or partner
