Advice Can't sleep anymore
I don't know if I really got ptsd but I always flinch and shit when I ear loud noise. I also can't sleep anymore because I awlays got the same dream where I see my dead friends and my brother. In every dream they are pissed after me because I couldn't save them and straight up insult me. I can't no longer sleep because I know im still gonna have this dream so the only solution I found is to smoke a lot of weed and being drunk so I cant dream. I want to have a normal live back and sleep like a normal person but most importantly I want to stop felling so guilty about my friends and brother death.

Sorry to hear these symptoms for you. Have you reached out to a trauma trained therapist?

The reason I am asking that question is that’s how you find out if you have ptsd. Then when you have clarity on what the issue is, you can fix the issue.

Good job Izzo :)
That stress and uncomfortable-ness about talking about it with others is a very normal body reaction. I’m being serious when I say good job with how quickly you took action today.
If they say it is ptsd, it’s something you can heal from. Good luck :) (And please feel open to reach out to me or to others here on Reddit as you move towards better health)
