Is it normal that i never feel safe?

I'm constantly on edge and on the lookout for danger. I suspect I may have PTSD, but I haven't been diagnosed so that may not be. I do know that I virtually never feel safe enough to really relax. Is that normal or an indication of a deeper problem?

    Sounds like it would behoove you to seek out a professional opinion.

    Go see a specialist, then you can feel better once you know if it is something...

    That does sound like PTSD, assuming it started occurring after some sort of trauma.

    It's not going to go away by itself, so I'd suggest you find yourself a good therapist.

    I deal with it most days without medication, but it's taken a while and a very good counsellor to get me to this point.

    Good luck!
