And yeah, it very well may affect the PTSD directly.
For me, hypersensitivity swings probably look like mood swings to other people, because if I'm overwhelmed by sensory input I have waaaaay less cope for anxiety or emotional stress too, and it all tends to come out about the same way: crying. I can usually tell on the inside whether the mood is primarily biochemical (blood sugar, PMS, stress, etc.), caused by an external situation, or caused by sensory overwhelm, but only people who know me really damned well are likely to know the difference if I don't or can't tell them.
Actually, now I'm curious if they can tell? Hmm, I should ask some folks...
