Hey y’all. So, cutting to the chase, I have a character that has PTSD. Problem is, is that I don’t technically know how to write PTSD. But this character, a twenty-four year old, lost her parents in a terrorist explosion seven five years ago, so I need to learn how to write it. Basically she was the only one who survived, and she went back into the building to find her family and she saw them all dead. Her mom, father, and younger brother, age 14.

So… have any of you had experience with PTSD people, family members, anything? Or maybe even you yourself if you’re comfortable talking about that? I know I can google symptoms and everything, but person advice would be the greatest, if you could. Thanks to all who reply!
