Can someone with cptsd explain what it feels like for them? I think I might have it but I don’t wanna be dramatic or ignorant or self diagnose with no basis. I just feel really alone and idk how or who to talk to about it

Sometimes I smell something and it triggers off a memory that is repressed or more commonly I hear a certain noise/frequency of noise and get flooded with feelings of panic, dread fire. Struggle to breathe, cold sweats full fight or flight on edge

Dread fear* not fire. I dont need to add spontaneous combustion to my issues.
