Hi,I can understand your concern regarding your symptoms. From what you have mentioned, you seem to have developed symptoms suggestive of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is a condition in which a person becomes anxious in presence of anything that reminds him of the trauma and avoids it. He also has nightmares or flashbacks of the incident.I would suggest that you talk to your parents regarding your symptoms and then seek a psychiatric consultation. Adequate treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors will help control your PTSD symptoms.I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
