Needing help....

...See more So, long story short, I have dealt with PTSD for quite a while. Last month, my husband, our son and I were staying at a campground. It was just before 11 pm and I heard a loud POP...POP....POP POP POP sound. I jumped out of bed, my husband ran outside and heard someone yelling "get back inside. This is none of your business!!" Then my husband was back inside. When he opened the door, I saw a figure and a dog laying by a car near the campground host camper. I called 911 and told them what happened......the camp manager shot and killed his wife, shot his dog, and barricaded himself into his trailer just a few hundred feet from our place. At 2:30 am, everyone was evacuated. At 3 am, the police shot tear gas into the guys trailer, chasing him out. He came out shooting and was killed ....as we later found out he wished to die. His cancer had come back and Drs told him he had a month to live. The dog is doing well. She was shot through the neck and shoulder. The wife died within minutes.     So since then life has been VERY hard for me. I didn't know the people well, but I had just talked to them that day. No loud noises set me off. Voices outside that are male set me off. Yelling, anger, etc....anything negative sets me off. We moved a week later and I still have anxiety issues. I'm so afraid of life and internalize everything because my husband blows everything off and says it shouldn't bother me. I am an empath and feel things very strong. The night it all happened I didn't sleep for over 24 hours, at night now I can barely sleep. My dr doesn't prescribe anxiety meds and the local quack is just that....a quack.....so I'm reaching out here for some help. Any tips or anything someone can give me to help work for n this would be great. T hanks
