MENTAL DISORDER AWARENESS | povslibby pov complication 

Same❤💔❤️‍🩹✊🏾😢

Uhmm I think we became twins because I suffer from anxiety, depression, and have symptoms of ADHD

Ty

Ay thanks

damn I got that last two pretty spot on

What are some symptoms/signs of it?

You're the best! I love you that means so much

I beg to differ

@@RavenIsAnArtist Are you me because how do you know that I don’t find this comforting and I’m not saying that it has to be the same for you but that’s how I feel

@@ErinLindsay_26 I read the "amazing" part as you saying her representation was accurate (because it is not, and doesn't even begin to dive into the hell that is PTSD), not that it wasn't comforting. I struggle with interpretations sometimes so that is my fault. Is it nice knowing someone tried to educate people in a positive way rather than reinforcing some people's beliefs that people with PTSD can "cure" it but are too lazy to try? (Or are "weak minded" or some crap, I'm sure you've seen the content) Yeah. But it bothered me a lot more that it wasn't accurate and didn't seem she reached out to someone with it first to make sure it wasn't giving everyone the wrong idea. I heavily dislike it when something I go through every day is not understood correctly (which is also why I made a comment correcting what it's like).

@@RavenIsAnArtistthat makes sense I only meant amazing in the fact that no one ever represents PTSD and it gets forgotten about a lot

@@ErinLindsay_26 For sure! I apologize. People do seem to forget that PTSD is still a thing and isn't something that happens _just_ because of war. So when some of those people hear about it they're like "You're not a veteran!". And then also assume that you can't have PTSD if you're under the age of 40? (The "you're too young to have that" folk). There are so many types of people you can meet but all of them seem to have the belief that it's no longer a thing, and can't be a thing in younger people in common.

"I remembered, I remembered everything" has got to be the wackiest 'flashback' I've ever seen. They can happen at any point in the day, yes, can keep you awake. But on bad days can run on repeat. It's like you're suddenly daydreaming vividly, one of those daydreams where you somewhat become unaware of your surroundings. Except it's what happened in great detail, sounds, sights, everything. There are also intrusive memories which are like that but more tame, and can also be from the day but not the event itself. Also, if someone says something triggering, I don't just snap at them, I calm down if I was having a harder day and became anxious and felt "off" and then politely ask them to be careful not to speak about it. The only time I snap at people like that is if someone startles me and triggers a panic attack.

And loss of interest in things is because I am so drained mentally and physically that I barely have the energy to take care of myself let alone enjoy myself. I am not interested in using energy I don't have. And there's SO much that was missed: There's nothing about feeling so much guilt, and having breakdowns over silly things you can connect to the event. You'll feel like everything is your fault and you are worth nothing. Disassociation that can be so bad you feel you're in the wrong body, and you don't know who or where you are, and believe reality is a simulation, and you know nobody. Logically you know where you are and who your body is, but you "know" that's not right. Panic attacks every night that last for hours on end and leave you having disoriention, vertigo, bad fatigue, nausea, and a constant headache for weeks before a few days of "I can kind of do things" before straight back to it. It can make me hallucinate.

The nightmares can replay the event with variations, but it's mostly related to the "main item" of the event. And a general huge increase in nightmares, and bad dreams. Flashbacks also aren't solely seeing and hearing the event again, forgot to mention: I have just heard it over and over on loop in my head. There are also days I will derealize badly and it will feel like it is the day, or I eat a certain candy bar and it reminds me of the exact moment one I ate that same candy bar 3 days after it had happened, and it feels like I was there again. The way I'd describe that is "Bad nostalgia" almost. But imagine that to a higher level. There's more I'm probably missing. And of course, the whole avoiding music/games/videos, or anything mentioning or showing anything related to my trauma. In person, I just look away, and keep myself facing away from that direction. This comment cannot describe how much it had destroyed my life. There are times I am physically debilitated, and cannot even keep my eyes open for long, and use voice messages to communicate because of how physically draining PTSD is to have.

Also, unless you have disassociative amnesia, you always know it happened. You think about it intrusively multiple times a day. Some days to more extremes more than others. You never forget. That's one reason why it's so life ruining. I wish there were moments in my day that I could not at the very least be subconsciously aware it happened. Even when you aren't thinking of it consciously, you can still feel it lingering subconsciously. And yes, I HATE people who pop fireworks well past holidays.

But really, the most accurate thing portrayed is the inability to sleep. I can be awake for 24+ hours then get 6 hours of sleep. Or consistently stay awake for long periods of time only to get 2 hours of sleep at a time. The panic attacks and impending since of doom will keep you awake for a long time. I went to bed at 4-5 am last night rather than something like 9 am like it has been because I CAN'T have a sleep schedule. I am on V4lium again (like x4nax but stronger) for the panic attacks and for sleep but I find it doesn't really help me sleep like it did after everything happened. It does help the fear though, which is one thing since it's been MONTHS of searching for something that helps. (My most common sleep form is usually the "split up sleep". Long periods between sleep to where I am basically just napping at random times)

DID isn't genetic

yeah so that's why I'm unsure@@whatisgoingon505

DID isn't genetic, and it's not even known whether or not it's a real mental disorder. If it were, you can only be diagnosed and have real symptoms when you're an adult. And you have to be exposed to extreme trauma first. You are just what's known as forgetful.

She did PTSD quite a disservice if anything. Glad my mental illness isn't at least being blamed on something I'm not doing I guess?

I really do I don't think anyone should have to go through these kinda things alone

@@libbyglass is it possible if you could do anxiety tics. I have them even though it can go away it had been a year now and they still haven’t. Just a suggestion you don’t have to take it just saying I think it would be nice. :)

@Ochaco_Uraraka324 A mood disorder characterizedby depression that occurs at the same time every year

Yeah, she just said it for the act, cause most people think OCD is “obsessed with cleaning!” Like, no. But yeah, it was for the act

I'm so glad! ahh thank you so much

@@libbyglass Np :) your one of my fav ytubers

I’m so sorry that happened to your friend no one should ever go through that

of course! I might make a part 3

Hope you enjoyed it! ily

yes omg I might do one soon

but they aren't always true
