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.
