PTSD and symptoms varies due to all different types of situations that cause the trauma in the first place. It may come from things such as a serious accident, a serious car accident, physical or sexual abuse, seeing someone die or be killed etc. In my case it was a serious car accident. But a person would need a medical diagnosis by a qualified professional to determine PTSD. Ones may experience mood swings, being irritable for what seems like no reason, even withdrawal away from family and friends. They may have flashbacks, nightmares, dreams of dying or being killed. They may lose interest in all the things they used to enjoy. I sympathize with anyone in this situation because I walked in those shoes. It may take years to recover or you may never completely. But as my doctor puts it, you will have a new normal after diagnosis and treatment. Things will look good again.

Do I have PTSD I didn't know because I had some symptoms but can you get PTSD by witnessing someone being struck by lightning?

You could get PTSD from someone being struck by lightning if you were there for the eperience I guess. I have PTSD from someone abusing me a lot of my childhood, symptoms including agitation when having an attack, wanting to be isolated, avoiding the person at all costs, nightmares and night terrors, depression, and a lot of anxiety. There are more symptoms, so if you think you may have it, you may want to go see your doctor or look up ways to help when having attacks. Hope this helped.
