Beth,

PTSD symptoms can deminish in intensity and may even go into remission(so to speak) but the likelihood that it will go away completely are remotely slim.

The thing with this disorder, is that it is triggered by stress(the intensity differs from person to person) and all it takes is another traumatically stressful situation to exacerbate its intensity.

Are you seeing a therapist and/or on medication?


Respectfully stated,

Phoenix
