So I accedentally Stabbed my hand with a steal cable today and it hurt like crazy. As I felt the searing pain, I thought of my wife yelling at me. I pictured her angry face very vivldly.
What is this all about? Is thispost traumatic stress?

Your scared of what your wife will think and you don't want her mad but if you hid that it happened she will be twice as mad. SO good luck

Probably not.
You have to have symptoms of reliving the event in dreams and/or hallucinations for like three months or more to get a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder. You would have bad dreams and hallucinations about getting stabbed with the cable.
What you're talking about just happened today and it doesn't sound anything like the symptoms of PTSD.
Your brain came up with an unusual way to deal with the pain. I wouldn't worry about unless it keeps happening for months after the injury heals.
