I wish people would talk about the Physical side effects of PTSD more. You see the anxiety and panic attacks portrayed in media a lot, but nobody ever talks about:

• the constant muscle contractions/spasms and subsequent pains,
• extremely sensitive hearing/smell/peripheral vision/being super sensitive to vibrations, 
• chronic fatigue and never feeling like you’re relaxed, 
• horrible stomach cramps 
• irrational fears of otherwise mundane things 

  And many other physical side effects that either aren’t on my mind right now or I don’t personally experience.
