I think Kate gave a wonderful discription of PTSD; as one who suffers from it, it is a debilatating and pervasive state- by it's very nature you can't have a 'mild case' (if you have subsyndromal PTSD you still have to fulfill the criteria of a situation where you or other was exposed to threat/actual death) or like Kate have less than 1 month duration and be dxed with acute stress disorder. You definitely have an anxiety disorder which are often comorbid with depression and hence the 'flat affect'. I really would seek out a specialist in this area, I'm sure getting the proper dx would really help. take care, judy
