PTSD is having your subconscious mind always on high alert. No matter what is going on around you, your mind thinks you are still fighting to survive. No time is this more apparent than at night when your mind uses dreams to remind you that nothing is safe. Your most loved things lie dead in front of you. You freeze. Guns won't shoot. Legs won't run. Just when you finally get the gun loaded and aimed, what you are shooting at disappears leaving you to wonder when it will be back and if you will be ready for it this time.
No one has to hit you to wreck your head. Words work just fine.
