Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a cluster of symptoms experienced by people who have just been through an out of the ordinary, jarring experience or prolonged period of such. You can probably google those words in quotes and then add "dsm-IV" (the diagnostic statistical manual IV).
I would caution you against making your own diagnosis- people who are not trained in the use of the DSM usually diagnose themselves even if they only have a few symptoms.

P.T.S.D. is post traumatic stress disorder. Generally you only have p.t.s.d. after a traumatic experience (hence the name) and it usually takes a while to get through it. Most people don't know they are going through it without going to see some kind of healthcare professional and it's usually treated with lot's of therapy and drugs. Don't worry though, it's not contagious :)

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is a complex health condition that can develop in response to a traumatic experience – a life-threatening or extremely distressing situation that causes a person to feel intense fear, horror or a sense of helplessness. PTSD can cause severe problems at home or at work. Anyone can develop PTSD – men, women, children, young and old alike. Fortunately, PTSD is treatable. Learn more about PTSD.

Post Traumatic Stress Disease. You have to be diagnosed by a doctor and you know you are cured when all the various symptoms have gone (panic attacks, nightmares, agoraphobia, flashbacks to what caused the PTSD).
