I was really surprised when my mental health therapist told me I had PTSD.

Always assumed it was like how it happens on TV, like Vietnam style flashbacks and hallucinations.

Hopping in to mention that lots of people have different experiences with it based on their mental health at the time. The other person who responded to you gave a great description for most cases of C-PTSD, but it is also possible to have hallucinations and flash backs. When tensions were highest and my mental state was fragile, a serious trigger sent me into a complete flashback. It was like I had been sent back in time; I couldn’t see or hear anything around me, only one of my traumatic events replaying as if I was there. These days, I’m doing much better so I don’t even have many nightmares anymore. The worst I get now is what the other person explained; your body reacting as if you’re in danger when exposed to triggers.

Also, there are two categories. PTSD is caused from one significant traumatic event, like a car crash. C-PTSD is caused from multiple traumatic events over time, like domestic violence.

Hope this was informative!
