A condition called Complex PTSD can arise if you've lived under oppresive circumstances where there was no escape for a long time. The symptoms include extreme paranoia and dissociation. It hasn't made it into the DSM as yet but people who suffer from it can tell you whether or not it actually exists. So yeah it is possible you have some form of PTSD - plain vanilla PTSd can result from just one highly traumatic event but C-PTSD can result from low-level fear and oppression extending over a period of time.
CPTSD: social phobia, major depression, dissociation.
Currently on 150mg amitriptyline + 12.5mg tianeptine + .25mg risperidone, single dose at night.
Improving.
