Question: Hi, As a result of surreal prolonged stress, I now have what seems to be complex post traumatic stress disorder. Last night, I suddenly lost the ability to walk and talk. I felt an intense warmth, and everything turned black. Is it normal to faint and or have the symptoms mentioned above following severe prolonged mental abuse?
