Symptom #10: Emotional Dampening
In addition to emotional instability, a person may develop some consistent feelings of negative emotion. These can include guilt, shame, and self-blame: they may find themselves responsible for their own traumatic experiences.
They may also feel like they’re more alone in the world than they actually are. They may choose not to reach out, believing that there is nobody there for them, when people are actually extending a hand to help them.
Depression and hopelessness are common symptoms of PTSD, and they can remain consistent. People suffering from PTSD also have a hard time trusting people and may blame others for ‘betraying’ them.
