@Brian-fo6ew Год назад

Post-traumatic stress disorder caused me to drink too much booze, which led me to breakdowns and nightmares, so I went to a psychiatrist, but it wasn't helpful, so I called it a day.

Hi, I want to inform that in your app there is no option to turn on the subtitles. Please fix that problem. Subtitles really help me to understand what s been said.

Thank you for letting us know - we will look into it. The subtitles can still be seen on our RU-vid channel and on our website.

4:43 when he says: he just kept getting pulled back in, what does it mean?

@bbclearningenglish Год назад

It means he kept wanting to return to reporting on wars - he was addicted to it.

The traumatised correspondent, suffering from a breakdown, had an extraordinary nightmare filled with flashbacks of a horrific event that left him underneath a cloud of despair. Seeking solace, he turned to alcohol and drowned his sorrows in booze, hoping to escape the haunting memories. However, the temporary relief was short-lived as the night brought forth vivid flashbacks, turning his attempt at solace into yet another nightmare. Overwhelmed, he decided to call it a day, realizing that healing would require more than just numbing his pain with alcohol.
