I was held hostage in a crisis situation, and too this day I replay what I might have done, what I should have done, what I would do in the future if anything like that happens again...

I am hyper alert and cannot go to a beach or park or swimming pool that has alot of children who might need to be saved from any disaster that would find us there.

Best wishes to you

feelings of worthlessness is common with PTSD, i'm happy that you have hope it is a beautiful thing to have. try to make a list of your triggers: identify what sets you off, meaning what triggers your symptoms to emerge and try to develop a plan to channel your intense fear & anxiety please believe that you are not alone many people suffer from PTSD for many differrent reasons my triggers are helicopters wire fences, heavy smoke and chemical cleaning agents i hope this helps ok :)
