Welcome!

I have CPTSD, so my worst symptoms are my emotional flashbacks...but if you have PTSD then you won't have these. I don't have visual flashbacks, so I honestly can't compare them.

I was officially diagnosed in November 2008, but misdiagnosed my whole life. I have likely been suffering since the event over 25 years ago.

Nice to have you here. I'm sorry that you are suffering. As far as deepest symptoms, it's hard to say : I have visual, tactile, olefactory, and emotional flashbacks. They are all horribly painful. Some of these flashbacks are very retraumatizing, and create more and more triggers. I have been suicidal and implulsive too.

I got diagnosed last year, but have had symptoms my whole life. But like Sunny, I have CPTSD, from multiple, ongoing traumas.

hugs,

Welcome to the group

I was officially diagnosed about 2 yr old but was increasing symptomatic in the years preceding that. I never suspected I have PTSD, I never really acknowledged I had been subjected to trauma since I was functional and successful. M most problematic symptoms are loss of time, dissociation, delusions and paralyzing panic attacks.

I was diagnosed about a year after my trauma. My worst symptoms are flashbacks, body memories, acting extremely reckless/impulsive, and frequent panic attacks.
