I am no longer giving advice on Advicenators, and have requested that my account be deleted.

I am now giving advice on Askville as ->Peter

If you're looking for good advice here, I suggest you ask YoungGrandma. She's the best.

I don't expect to be checking in on this site again, so if you want to ask me something, see you on Askville!

Good luck!

First, I have to tell you up front that I'm not a psychiatric professional.

Actually, FIRST I should tell you that I'm sorry that this happened to you and your brother, although I'm glad you both survived.

Anyway, having made it VERY clear that I'm not a doctor, what you're experiencing sounds to me like post-traumatic stress disorder. And certainly what you went through makes that a not-unreasonable guess. But rather than go by the guess of a non-professional on the web, you should really talk to a professional. Talk to your parents, if possible, and have them take you to a behavioral specialist for an evaluation - if they're not sure what to do, have them talk to your doctor. You can also talk to your doctor yourself, or to a teacher, or some other trusted adult.

But please do get yourself taken care of. PTSD can be treated effectively - I know. And even if it's not PTSD, after what you went through, you really need to talk to someone. Believe me, it will help.

Good luck!
