"I'll hear a trash bag rustling and flinch in panic," she added. "I think it's standard PTSD."
The 23-year-old model added that one method she uses to maintain privacy is asking people in her home to sign non-disclosure agreements.
Jackson's revelations came as part of an upcoming episode of the Facebook series, which is set to premiere on June 16.
