Be very careful and do some heavy research. Disorders like PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, ect. are to be taken seriously and handled in a mature, but also thought-provoking way. That's all I got.

Sounds more like night terrors

Is that what a night terror is, The Mechanist?

Yes

I'd say night terrors have no cause, but PTSD does (i.e., the trauma the T stands for). The symptoms are likely to look similar on the outside, though.

I say this as someone who did have night terrors as a child, and diagnosed anxiety as an adult, but not PTSD.

Going off what Kaerri said, anxiety and other similar disorders CAN often yield a lot of the same symptoms as PTSD. When I was looking up the symptoms of dissociation and dissociative disorders, everything matched up except for the fact that most cases are caused by PTSD, so I excluded it as an option for myself. Turns out I probably do have a form of dissociation, nonetheless, as a recent event has revealed.
