Sounds like it. PTSD's main symptom is not being able to adjust... like for you its not being able to adjust getting back into a car. I am in the military and PTSD is a HUGE issure right now with soldiers coming home from deployment. My good friend has PTSD and I know its scary. I think the best thing to do is see a counselor... prb even 2-3 times a week. I am not sure if there is a certain counselor that is best, not sure if you can find one that specializes in stress or PTSD unless maybe you are near a military base.

Hope that helps
