i always thought acute PTSD only lasted for 3 months or less and chronic was anything over 3 months, so you probably have chronic if you still experience symptoms years later. as for overcoming it, i read that it is not curable but treatable. meaning that it never ever goes away but you can learn to live with it. in fact, they charactorize it as a severe mental disorder
