I have PTSD after a TBI. I've been diagnosed with PTSD and I find myself so jumpy, and constantly checking things over and over, I hear noises after I go to bed, I know no one is in the house but I am scared to death.

I know what feeling jumpy is like!

Someone I startle when I'm feeling wound up. I don't hear the noises. Perhaps you're hearing real noises because you're listening so intently.

The only advise I have is this: See a therapist. It helps.

I'm like that too D: when im out at school with friends and we go to get coffee or something i look left, right, and behind me every min or so
They know my condition but they tell me to relax anyway i dont have a Therapist but .... i guess i just cope with it by staying against a wall is were just standing around talking
Sometimes i think they will start to hate me because i cant keep my eyes on 1 thing and maybe it will make me look uninterested D:
i also cant concentrate on 1 person talking because i feel like i have to hear everything and it all sounds like DFBJNMAKBJALFVNBALNHGAJENH to me xD
