I'm hesitant to describe myself as having PTSD. I've never had it as a formal diagnosis, but I've also never really delved-into any of my behaviors and how they seem to relate to past experiences, at least not with a mental health professional--the latter has mostly involved addressing symptoms.

However, I am cognizant that some of my impulsive negative reactions feel "conditioned" rather than just hyper-amygdalic responses.
