It is just that when I read your stuff, it is like how I used to feel and react. It was just eye opening for me to see it in someone else. But I feel empathy for you because I KNOW how it feels. I used to think I was just going crazy or being too emotional or sensitive or something, but it really is a disorder, and I was surprised on the simularities.
But if it helps, if you can do the EMDR work, like I did, it made a huge difference. I know you are scared of it, it is scary to work with the hard stuff. But I ask you how much longer are you willing to live with the PTSD. To me the PTSD feels way worse than going through EMDR. EMDR is hard like PTSD, but it also has some control to it and it works quickly. I know everyone is different, but your posts just sound like me, and that is kinda freaky. ;-)
