Yes it is possible to have PTSD after any kind of trauma

You just very well might have it. But like the others said, you need to talk with a therapist about your symptoms. They won't resolve until you confront the situation that happenend to you at age 13. And STOP taking those online tests! It's not going to help you. There is treatment for this.

Only a professional can tell you that, this is NOT the place to diagnose your mental health issues.
I can tell you that some of your spells parallel PTSD but they dont automatically mean you have it. I encourage you to see a dr that specializes in PTSD for diagnosis.
Will it help you understand why you feel the way you do by putting a term or name to it? I dont mean this sarcastically, I mean if what you are feeling has a name, sometimes it is easier to accept and quantify.

Yes! Military combat and rape victims are the #1 people that have PTSD. I am so sorry that happened to you. I hope he was prosecuted for that. You can get help. I certainly wish you the best, my heart goes out to you.

yes you do
I suggest Zoloft, it works well for PTSD but ask your doctor, she probably knows other drugs that work as well for PTSD.
PTSD can definitely occur years after the incident.

You should definitely see a doctor. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you now? PTS is a bit strange, it can occur years after an incident occured.

You need to forgive the person that did that to you. Life will go on! Get some therapy or talk with a good friend about it. It is best to not go the route of getting a diagnosis. Trust me.

Sounds like you do. You should see a doctor/counselor. try and resolve these issues without meds. Only take them if completley nessesary or last resort.
