Description
For some time now, people around me have been telling me that I have changed. I no longer have fun with my brother and sister like I used to, I argue with my parents, I am distancing myself from my friends. Yes, I am becoming more of a loner, but I am convinced that it has nothing to do with what happened at the bank that day, despite what my loved ones claim. After all, I got away without a single scratch. So why does walking past the building make me tremble? Why does the barrel of a gun appear in my dreams every night? Maybe people are right to be worried. What if the events have affected me more than I thought? Post-traumatic stress disorder does not only affect soldiers and first responders. It can appear following any situation that causes a state of intense distress. Symptoms vary from one person to another and can disrupt their daily lives.
