Your responses indicate a high likelihood of symptoms consistent with PTSD. You may be experiencing intense emotional, physical, or psychological reactions to past events, and those responses may be interfering with your ability to feel safe or connected.
This can include flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and a sense that you're always “on edge” or in survival mode. These experiences are very real, and they are not your fault.
What This Might Feel Like:
Sudden panic or fear when triggered
Detachment from reality or yourself (dissociation)
Feeling like the traumatic event is happening again
Difficulty regulating emotion or feeling “out of body”
Steps You Can Take:
Please reach out to a licensed, trauma-informed mental health professional
Use this score to begin the conversation—no need to explain everything all at once
Build a support system around you, even if it starts with one person
Explore body-based approaches like grounding, tapping, or breathwork
You’re not overreacting. This is what trauma can do to the nervous system—and it can heal, too.
