you might try telling them that PTSD is a disorder you have been diagnosed with, you have it & whether or not they think your trauma was "bad enough", it caused your symptoms. Wishing you all the best in recovering x
Ikr. Ive been through child abuse, neglect, divorce And someone said. "Eh you will be fine im dealing with worse" but that "worst" was just them getting upset in roblox..... smh so stupid
And you know what is the worst? Your family members don't recognize it as a disease and ignore it. They keep blaming you for your actions although you don't want to act like that. When there's no one you can share, it's very awful. Hope that one day, someone can truly understand what we are suffering and have gone through.
My grandfather got ptsd after he was in war, he would wake up in the night thinking that there were enemy troops in his house. He would always think back to when his camp got raided. After a while it got better. And he’s doing pretty well now.
This video helped me a lot. I have suffered ptsd for 6 months after i was abused sexually and mentally by a female friend. For anyone who is suffering same type of pain i can say, that it gets better over time. Today i saw my abuser and just run away in fear, but i don't blame myself. She left lifelong scars, but i will survive. First step for me to overcome my traumas was to start talking about these events. Being open about them helps me personally. I hope that my story helps someone who is suffering like i do. It will get better, trust me, you are strong. People have bullied and mocked me becaus of this, but i dont care. Do not let same type of people put you down either.
@@tjgaming223yt8 Bro this isn‘t the right place to ask something like that, you are obviously too young to know that and thats okay, but get your information somewhere else pls.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
started microdosing mushrooms in place of my prescriptions and the difference is night and day in my mental health and my anger i feel like ive become a better person best decision ive ever made wish it was more accessible to those that need
Psilocybin mushrooms saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone, Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues,
Alissa Noka Alissa...I don't how you feel about this...but. I believe in the power of prayer and in the Lords love, light and ability to help us, each and every one of us. No matter what. I will pray for you tonight, that you sleep well, or better. Take care of yourself. Ian
@@ssjxn PTSD can be diagnosed by psychologist or psychiatrist. Professional diagnosis is needed and self diagnosis could be wrong. Please talk to a professional. All the best.
@@ssjxn If you will not go to psychiatrist your problem might increase. Then there can be a huge issue and your family will bring you to the psychiatrist. Any disorder can be treated early, later on it is difficult to be treated. I hope you understand.
Not something a child should have to go through (been there myself). Decpite things have happend in later years that enhanced my issues with PTSD, in time, it gets easier to live with. Might never completely go away, but it DOES get easier. i'm 30 now, and thought at the age of 24 that there only was one way out. But oh man was i wrong. have a lovely and supportive fiance that helps me through the worst days. Still, isn't easy, i know. Hope you eventualy will find something/someone that will be of help on the worst days.
I feel like i get ptsd when looking at soap Once i pressed on soap and then it got in my eye and i got alot of soap in my eye it was worse than sanitizer getting in my eye cause it goes away in 15 sec So yeah soap is dangerous And it took 3 min to get it out
Nightmares, triggers, isolation... but what feels the most hopeless is to feel so crippled by a wound nobody else can see. Every day I wish i could trade in my PTSD for an amputated leg or scars on my face, so that people would know at a glance that i'm a wounded veteran, and never doubt me. The worst feeling during my PTSD has been telling doctors about it, and then being able to tell that they don't quite believe that i'm in pain.
Same here sister i am dealing with it since 8 years i feel so scared and changed i feel like i don't live the way i wanted i feel weird i feel like i wanna be around people but i can't be and there's so much happening and i know what you feel

I have PTSD from being bullied in HS. People, especially kids, can be very cruel. It's sickening. Makes my stomach sick. Everything that I went through stemmed from being there. My whole life felt it was crushing down. It's been years and I have graduated from college. I still suffer and have nightmares. The taunts have haunted me for a long time. I have to deal with it. But I also need to understand it is important to seek for help. Asking for help is not a crime.
can I plz be your friend?I have ptsd and know exactly what you go through because i've got ptsd too from being bullied throughout school and having a brother that did it to me and never had it when younger but once I went through school and also having a brother that bullied me. I had many nightmares from it years i'd sleep at night eith nightmares of bullying and victimization and sometimes if I start going down street and see people down street I take another route and my mood and life is in dark place and that why I need friends and if you are reading this I do care about you and would like to be friends
I have suffered from PTSD for around 11 months or a year after I use to get physically assaulted and beaten by my dad when I was younger. I was diagnosed with it in January 2020 and tbh, I was shocked, but this was found out by a professional psychiatrist and I was showing some symptoms. It usually hasn't been severe but I have been getting panic attacks recently and I get angry when my mum talks about my dad.. I think about my past quite a lot nowadays and get anxiety from it all. I am on anti psychotic medication called olanzapine which helps me relax and get better sleep, I have anger issues too so it does help contain my anger a bit. PTSD is horrible for me because I avoid my dad all the time, I feel uneasy with him around, I stress about it and get angry and the overall feeling is awful. So anyone who suffers from PTSD, you are not alone, and things will get better for you.
You don't mention your age, but if you don't have to be around your dad.. then don't be! I don't suggest this as an avoidance or cure for PTSD, but merely the removal of an unnecessary, and clearly unpleasant cause of stress.
Same i went back after graduation to my parents my father used to bully me and he is an angry person i was scapegoated he was narcissistic he also victimized my mom and she start to have panic attacks so it’s genetics plus his behavior he is so malevolence i find it hard to be around him with my ptsd even after medication i had panic attack eventually. Now i fight him back big time i saw death (panic attack) and hell i dont want to see that again now after fighting him verbally my ptsd has lessen very much! And so does fear and anger. I do feel sad sometimes but thats my story i hope it helps.
I've lived with PTSD for decades and now with CPTSD finally being recognized as a real disorder with DSM I can finally get a voice and tell people what is wrong with me. I barely have any friends because dealing with me pushes people away from me so I'm constantly alone - and that is when my PTSD gets worse because I have nothing to take my mind off it. It really has ruined everything and continues to haunt me and everyone around me.
When I was watching the walking dead a while ago I think that this is a perfect example of CPTSD in rick grimes in the show. Not violent unless threatened and is trying to survive, acts with anger and hostility occasionally and difficulty controlling his emotions. This affects his abilities as a leader and father in the show. But he is very strong stands up to people. This is basically best realistic way of showing this. I think most people with mental illness aren't violent and most of them are working and doing normal things. Anyone can develop those.
The govt is fuming buildings,apts houses,,schools,grocery stores with gases called Non Lethal Chemical weapon/Psychoactive drugs.They use a gas that is similar to a Depressant,if you plug your nose with tissue and wait for 4 minutes the effects of the drugs will stop or slow down.Plugging the nose blocks the Depressant and Fear causing drug. Govt fuming lots of different temporary Non Lethal Chemical weapons/psychoactive gases such as:scented gases amphetamines hypnotics depressants sedatives agitation causing disorganizing drugs malodorants/foul odors psychoactive gaseous drugs and irritants that affect vision,coordination,hearing,memory the depressant can be blocked by plugging the nose and waiting 4 minutes for the drug to subside.
I got it I have ptsd I always felt what's wrong with me. why I'm always sad even in happy situations. Five years ago i lost the person I loved the most - my mother. I definitely have ptsd. I pray all the people with ptsd recover and find happiness again....
I was depressed, suicidal, had anxiety, panic attacks, ocd, was hit by a car and I survived because of the grace and mercy of God. Jesus Christ loves all of you. He can heal you and save you. You must just Accept him in your life and he will heal you. He will fill you with joy and love. I wanted to die,but now I want to live.
Lately i'v started struggling more then usualy with my PTSD (events during my entire life + the thing that basicly triggered everything was events during military service that was, unfortunate) Have to say, just watching videos about the dissorder is refreshing in a way. Helps giving ideas on how to manage things on ones own and try to get back to a somewhat normal life. 31 this year, and feels like i'v lost so much of my life because of this damn thing. So thanks for this video. Good to see it's being talked about.
Idk if I have PTSD or not . I have had images of a traumatic time for a while, I am uncomfortable when it is brought up, I have had panic attacks, I have avoided things due to that trauma, and I am much more irritable.
How are you now? did you figure it out if you have it or not? I wanted to know Cz it's same with me idk if have it i won't say my symptoms are very bad but i was harrassed and after that I'm scared of men in general i don't like it if some man passes by me on the street it just makes me want to hide and i get very anxious around people
I got shot by someone I believed to be my friend I get nightmares remembering the smell of the gun powder the sound of the gun go off the look in his eyes. It’s hard to avoid it I was 18 when I got shot I’m just 19 but never thought something like this could exist to someone young
@Franky Padilla so sad bro, why is the world like that, WHY?!!?!?!?! WHY WOULD HE TRY TO KILL you/????? I don't get it, how is ending someone innocent's life so easy to these people??? I am so sorry man, hope you're doing ok ;(((((((

My brother in laws wife has Post Traumatic Down Syndrome and it’s heartbreaking. Sometimes I wonder how she even goes outside with all the loud noises that we hear daily. Very brave of her especially when their kids were born with SIDS and they have to raise them too. So proud of her.
@@Jay-uo1sn It's not weak it's like having crutches when you can't walk properly. Everyone has their own crutche to help deal with stuff in life maybe your's is judging people
@@Jay-uo1sn that isn’t being weak they need something to help them they’ve gone through trauma and its not easy just because you may have been stronger than them or anything they aren’t weak.
@@Jay-uo1sn In every video about mental health awareness....there's always that one person who likes to invalidate experiences and makes everyone question why they even came to this video in the first place if they were gonna be so insensitive. That person's you, you wet blanket.
The VA just diagnosed me and watching this video moved me. Can’t believe you just spoke my life. I don’t take comfort in knowing I’m not alone, just relief to know that I’m not crazy; like people who I thought loved me have tried to lead me into believing. Only once I decided to love and take care on myself and live in reality by dealing with past demons I thought I’d take to the grave; did I become the villain. Family? Friends? True healthy bonds are rare.
I still have nightmares of being trapped at school last I went to school was 16 years ago now. Still feel trapped there and have dreams of my bullies esp when need pee at night always in the darkest places of school too. Bullying happened my whole life lesser now but happened recently. It is the longest confusing n negative depressive lonely truama to go through... n it can continue into adulthood ( the bullying) which does not aid any PTSD suffering or truama faced but mostly bullying truama healing n processing. It took me all my life to get here feeling like I'm still back there. I am not happy that it's not identified as a truama n recognised for how damaging it really is for those who do not die to it. But there is hope so never give up and constantly love yourself and others too anyway despite it.
For those who didn't know how it feels to have PTSD or cptsd please do not say everyone have it, or we are enjoying our trauma, or you need to just accept it to get rid of it. It's much more way worst than that!! Please do not judge something you never experienced, never judge someone based on a pain you never endured
I consider myself to have a high level of tolerance with multiple hospitalisations from various accidents, a near fatal heart attack, no PTSD. But one incident serious enough to see my assailant sentenced to 7 years in prison saw a diagnosis of PTSD and a 12-13 year struggle with it. It proved to me everyone has a limit to what they can take. And whether you can cope with a far greater level of trauma than others, it doesn't mean the symptoms of the disorder are any greater or less than those who might not have that level.
i never thought i would’ve related to something like this but i got diagnosed with ptsd june 20, 2020 after getting shot on my birthday. this comment section makes me realize that i’m not alone. i cant even explain the things i go through while trying to deal with the trauma
Talking about PTSD and mental health is really important, especially when it comes to young people and veterans. In the description below, there are resources and numbers to call if you're having mental health issues or thoughts of taking your life. Talking about it can be very hard, but it's important. Also, please talk to your family or friends or, most importantly, your doctor and they'll be there to help you out. You're not alone. We're all in this together. Thank you.
Always put off getting therapy. Only yesterday after a bad argument with my wife am i getting help for this. Its really hard to admit to and hard to explain to people how you feel. I cant put things and feelings into words but im hoping its not to late to turn to back around and close this chapter of my life before its gone forever 💔
I’ve been trap by trauma for a decade, and I’ve been surrounded by confused people who forced me to don’t put them in your red circle, and I’ve been trapped remembering about public school and I felt scared and hurt. I just want to get away from the past because I feel like a victim in schools, I was bullied my whole life. So I am taking pills to help relieve anxiety and ptsd, it’s the moment that triggered me and I want to leave my hometown and move to a foreign country.
Former navy Veteran here, I personally couldn’t tell you how I got PTSD. I remember seeing images of 9/11 and my mood changed afterwards. Maybe it was the bad leadership that I had. I remember getting yelled at to the point of thinking that my actions had killed someone. I remember one day I got yelled at because of someone else’s mistake. I could not stand getting screamed at without wanting to jump out a window or fight back. I thought of suicide while I was in a lot. I knew something was wrong but, didn’t know what. It wasn’t till I got out of the military that they diagnosed me with PTSD.

Hey guys just wanted to let you know, ptsd isn’t just a disorder, it’s a brotherhood and sisterhood. Stay 💪 strong my brothers and sisters 👯♀️, a lot of people understand what it’s like to have it. I have it, people just don’t get it or won’t help me anymore.
For my self , when I am triggered with talking about trauma, smells ,songs, places ect. It triggers what I call a " PTSD SPLIT" . Your personality changes into survival mode , where you become a disturbed and irrational version of your real self . Those who are not educated on the fact just assume we are nasty or have bi polar . I'm lucky to have a very close few who understand and it's a massive advantage.
I have PTSD because I have memories and thoughts of things that were bad that happened in the past and also bad things that would happen in the future if it was true, and this helped out alot , Thank You so much!
It's 3 AM in the morning and I can't sleep well ever since my dad marry that woman. The traumatic moment that I went trough is when we were in the the court and I keep hearing the gavel hitting the sound block. It's haunting me every night
I don’t know if I suffer of ptsd but what i know is that i used to be mentally and physically abused by my family and when I talked about it to a classmate that used to come to see me because i was constantly alone, she told me that my problem was that i just couldn’t move on from the past. Then i started to avoid her and stay away from her because i was so triggered about what she said ‘’You just can’t move on’’. It sounded so disrespectful.
Just pray the 4 Mysteries of the Rosary everyday, and anyone sufferring from it will surely find such peace. It's just so amazing how repeated words can bring such comfort and joy.
I have depression, very bad mood swings, bpd, ptsd, and they say I may have bi-polar. I have been researching all the moods I have loads. Thank you for your video it helped me to learn alot more. I didnt relize what ptsd was - now by listening to your video it helped me figure and I do have some of that from my ex-husband 16 years ago.. I have many red flags from him.. and a wonky relationships now, and I still have night terrors at times..
What used to triggered me were 3 songs: Closer by Chainsmokers Shape of You by Ed Feel it coming by Weekend These songs few year back always made me cry because of continuous 2 years of stress and helplessness that I faced and then I used to listen to these songs but now it's attached to those memories. It just pull back me to same sad state for few minutes. Sometimes Even now ! For around 1 to 1.5 year it effected my confidence and many other things a lot But I worked on it!
I was shot by carjackers in 2020 while doing uber delivery at night time. Luckily i am alive. But i cant drive at night anymore without being anxious. Now I understand what is ptsd
The most difficult thing I find about this, is that the people around my say your mental, and then people try reverse pycoligy crap that make one feel isolated, people can't work out why a ptst person, want to be alone. It frustrating. 😥
Ptsd Is A disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions, a Symptom is getting nightmares, and/or getting not wanted memory's of the trauma.
I get PTSD every time my aging Father is hospitalized. I think I’m this confident adult and then suddenly I have the heaviest, overwhelming feelings of anxiety and it’s lasts for hours, sometimes days n I can’t relax enough to even sleep…I’m always so thankful when my life is not in crisis. 🙃🤓
👆👆I got scared to ask for help which made me suffer a lot of trauma's until the handle above helped me get rid of them all with some psychedelic products, he ships to any location too.
Was in a car crash when I was 12 . Nobody died but it was pretty violent (driver hat a few broken ribs and I had some cuts/bruises on my arms ) especially for a kid my age at the time . I couldn't stand being in a car driving above a certain speed for years afterwards, and even though I explained what happened to people who couldn't understand why I was freaking out around cars, they just laughed and told me to suck it up. Eventually I did but it took years and I think it should have been less than that. I feel like I should have talk to someone because still nowadays I'm not 100% confortable in cars especially if the driver says he's tired or something. Anyhow best wishes to people who still suffer from PTSD, no matter what happened to you, you will get through it.

Here’s a short way of saying what PTSD is: “You get shot in the leg and the next day you see kids playing with toy guns and one gets shot in the leg. Then you start to get worried or scared.” This is not really specific but this is all I know. PTSD is something like a bad memory. I don’t suffer from it but my great grandparents did, as kids they were slaves working all day and night. And since they live in the Philippines their kids (my still alive grandparents) they work everyday making rice and/or working and I think it reminded them of how they worked all day and night as a slave. My mom didn’t tell me the whole thing besides the slave part. But that’s what I’m assuming, being a slave is probably of obviously VERY SAD. But whoever suffers from PTSD I hope you stop suffering and/or forget about the traumatic experience. God bless the ones who survived such horrible experiences. 🙏
Three years ago, I was in a horrible horse riding accident where I broke all five mandibles in my right hand. I was born with a club hand, no thumb on left hand, so I couldn't look after myself for a long time and had to rely on help from my mom. I still suffer from PTSD only a little since than as I knew a girl who died two months before my accident and slowly got back on a horse.
when i was 13 i found out i had stage 4 cancer, i did 6 rounds of chemo, i'm 15 now and most of my friends will do stuff to trigger memories of it because they think i'm just dramatic, but smells and noises can remind me of the hospital and it sends me into a panic. ptsd can be the result of many things, so please respect people
I lost my dog in 2017 lost by popper in 2019 and I currently lost my uncle this year to cancer July 21, 2021 I still miss my dog that’s been for years I could’ve saved him but I was too late I blame myself in every single day I go back to that one moment
I’ve gotten threats from someone I used too know (not a friend), Said he would come to my house and what would he do? Idk He had many charges but got bailed out but the thought of the guy going through with it always made me want to faint, throw up, it’s just horrible
I was diagnosed with ptsd.....I served in the military: HMCS Griffin... now in jail....? Miles and miles away from family.and friends..locked in...every day
I have isolated myself so much bc I am triggered by many things especially a man. Its very difficult to sleep, sleep near anyone, talk to men, deal with someone belittling me or reminding me of my situation that happened. Smells , voices, sounds, sight, memory are all triggers for me. I’m really really in bad shape when it comes to this ptsd. Id rather be alone and not around any men except my kids. Im literally afraid to go into stores. This is so difficult to live like this. I just want peace of mind and relaxation.

I was diagnosed with PTSD last week. I was given a diagnosis two years ago but sought a second opinion because I've always associated it with soldiers. I was careful not to tell the second psychologist that I'd already had a diagnosis and instead said i needed help with stress and anxiety attacks. Getting the second diagnosis was like getting hit with a hammer, i was and still am trying to process it! My "battlefield"? An office job in a multinational IT firm of all things! I was targeted and mobbed for so long it got locked in and the people there were so busy dismissing anything i said, saying I was imagining it all, that i doubted the first diagnosis. The hardest thing for me is even when I'm in "robot mode", where i feel nothing at all, nobody sees anything unusual. Those who get beat up or have scars and bruises have suffered, but it's suffering people can see and relate to. They can imagine themselves in that situation and can ,and if they're a decent human being, will empathize. People have little sympathy for mental health injuries because the cannot see it and they're all "strong and wouldn't let it happen to them" Given enough time and pressure anything can break, even the "strong"

I don't know whether this is classed as this or not but I had a very traumatic experience at school not long ago with the fire drill. I have autism and I really didn't like the fire drill at all because of how loud it is and how it disrupts your day but when I started at my new school, they said there was going to be a fire drill on Thursday. On Thursday, I was quite anxious waiting for it to happen but I just stayed in the base whilst I waited but in the end, they had to cancel it for some reason. On Friday though, I came in and my teacher said there is definitely going to be one today near to lunch so I was a bit worried about it. When I waited for it to go off, I stayed in the base listening to music for a bit but I was just worried about the fire drill and when it was going to happen. My teacher said why don't I go to the lesson now and I will have someone with me to support me when the fire drill happens but even though I didn't really want to, I went to the lesson. This lady I didn't really know and I think she was just helping out in school along with another person who was there all week helping. When I was in that lesson, I kept worrying about it and when it was going to happen that I just couldn't concentrate on anything. I did something but then the bell started ringing and I immediately got really anxious as I knew this was it. The man in there just said right that is the fire bell, please make your way outside. It was really horrible walking out as I just wanted to cry the whole time as we walked out of the room, outside into a yard, into the main corridor and past the cafe where the bell was ringing. I was getting so emotional by the time we got outside and that lady was there all the time. We then had to walk through the outside area and on to the field with the tennis courts and football ground but I couldn't find my tutor group. I was just panicking and I was quite shaken after what just happened and I couldn't stop shaking but I tried to find someone I knew. Eventually, I did find my group so we just waited out there for about 12 minutes. It wasn't too bad just stood out there but I literally wanted to cry whenever I thought about the bit where we were walking out and the bell ringing in the Atrium. I also felt emotional about how all these people I know and that lady who was with me was there throughout the trauma of the fire drill bit I knew it would be over soon and I could go back to the base and tell my teacher. When we back in, I finished off the last 10 minutes of my lesson but I was just too emotional now about the fire drill and how it made me feel especially that but where we were walking out of the building. When I went back to the base, I didn't even want any lunch. Everybody was sat eating their chicken nuggets and chips but I was just too emotional about the fire drill. When my teacher came back, she asked me if I got on alright outside and I said it was horrible but I stated crying a little bit but I just sat in the other room for a bit calming down. I just felt like I wanted to cry when I thought about the fire drill and how it was horrible how quick it happened and I was trying to think it all over. I went to go and get some lunch once I had calmed down but just as I was about to leave, the bell started ringing again but it just kept going until it stopped actually ringing and it was just vibrating on the wall. I panicked as I didn't know why the hell this was happening but everyone started walking out and down the stairs but I just wanted to cry and I just didn't know what to do and I thought it was an actual fire. When we got back down to the ground floor, I saw all these people hanging around the reception area but as I walked out the main door, I just couldn't take it anymore and I was just uncontrollably crying and I felt there was nothing anyone could do for me. My teacher had to literally hold onto my arm but it was all just too much and I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't really remember much apart from my teacher saying something about sorting someone out and the lady I was with earlier walking up to me. I just started crying even more when I thought about how the lady in the base was there when it was happening and the fire drill earlier. I can't even remember walking back upstairs. I just sat in the base just numb at this point and my eyes had virtually swollen up from how much I had been crying. At the end of the day, I was still so emotional about everything like the bit where we were walking out, the bell ringing in the atrium and the other fire drill where I was crying. When I got home, I still couldn't stop thinking about it like it was making me so emotional all the time and I was crying pretty much all evening about it like I kept thinking it was going off again. It made me emotional thinking about how that lady was there when it was happening and how all the other people I talk to must have been there when it was happening, for some reason that made me want to cry. I tried to go to sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about it and how emotional and scared I was earlier when it went off again. I didn't want to let it ruin my weekend but I was just thinking about the bit where my headteacher was putting all the stuff into his car after the fire drill and I was emotional about it all evening. I got so anxious all the time thinking it was going off again and the bit where my my teacher had to hold onto my arm but the worst but was the bit where we were walking out. I tried to go to sleep but then I had this horrible sort of dream thing that was really vivid about the bell ringing in the atrium and there was another fire drill but it was happening really quickly. I was panicking begging someone to help me but then I sort of woke up then but I felt when I woke up that it only lasted a few seconds and I couldn't remember when I went to sleep. I was also terrified and I had this really weird taste in my mouth but it <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="690">11:30</a> at night still. In the end I got so anxious, I had to go in my mum and dad's room and sleep in there. The fire drill certainly traumatized me a lot and I really hope there is never another fire drill again.
I was physically and emotionally abused by my dad till I moved out of the house at 16. To help me out if I got in trouble my mom had me make a joint bank account with her so if I ever needed anything. A few years later she betrayed my trust by stealing $20,000 over the course of a year that I was putting assisted for taxes. I was then left to go into a payment plan with the IRS. I was living in the city on my own for years, and ran into a few mishaps like getting mugged at knife point and having my then girlfriend get rapped and I was not able to get to her in time. Things are ok in my life now though. My girlfriend and I got married, eventually bought a home together and now I’m learning about ptsd an what I can do to help with my panic attacks. For those who suffer from panic attacks, meditation and something cold on the back of my neck helps.

I keep on having nightmares about my school setting on fire and me getting left behind and a massive wooden beam falls on my body and my hands fly out and it was still wriggling after it had become detached from my hand and I could see my body in a pool of blood and a firefighter ignoring my corpse and the last thing I saw where three figures one dog like another tall with things on its back and the third was small and had wings.
I was suffering from ptsd since I was a little kid and didn't know it. The was this picture that I saw of a girl covered in blood and since then the word haunted me. 10 years later now im almost 14. This just happened today where I was in class and the teacher was telling us about the tell tell heart, about this murder fictional story. It was so graphic it made me sick. The word kept coming up and I became pail and shaking in my seat. The bell rang and I was trying to walk down the hall but my vision was fuzzy. I couldn't really see or hear at all and it looked like I was seeing so many dots everywhere. All my senses were fading as I made it down the hall, it felt like I was going to pass out. Everything was going dark, but luckily I found chair's down the hall and sat down. Almost immediately I felt better as I managed to stand, I could see and hear again. I walked to the office to call home and now I'm home. It's really crazy because this just happened 2 hours ago today.. I'm still a bit shaken up and I asked my mom to contact a doctor for medication, I might need a therapist but I don't know yet.
I was abused by my ex boyfriend. He stalked me for 5 months, followed me, blackmailed me and beat me… I started having nightmares, paranoia, i started thinking about the worst scenarios . My parents refused taking me to a therapist so here i am ! Im constantly afraid to see him , i can’t go out on my own , or even go out with my friends without thinking he’ll follow me again . I constantly remember the day he beat me , when he hacked all my social media, when he insulted all my friends and when he controlled everything. I don’t know what to do to stop this. Im only 17 and i don’t wanna spoil my life !
I wouldn’t say you have PTSD but rather youre still living the shock itself. Ive been in a similar situation as the one you described and it will go away in not so long i can promise you that :)
I think I have had a very minor form of non-diagnosed PTSD since my dog died of seizures. I always see myself in the living room with him convulsing on the floor just in shock and panic. But I am working through it and I have faith that everyone else here can work through their traumatic experiences too.
I believe I have ptsd as I can’t forget the memory and it overwhelms me, it happened a years ago and I wasn’t fully affected by it but when it happened again, a few years ago, I find myself struggling and I think it’s the cause of my depression, I’m unsure about getting help as I know nobody will understand.
I keep searching this up but come up with no results. Has anyone else just randonoy heard your parents fighting when its in the middle of the night, and then you bolt up but then you realize its just distant cars, or rain or something but the voices felt so real. Parents fighting isnt even a big deal but maybe its a sogn of ptsd? Or im just going crazy haha
my mom and dad fight everyday, too. my dad also abused my mom. but i don't know why, my mom just keep coming back to him. im tired of it. it just keep getting toxic, and toxic. i also have a hard time in school because of my low self-esteem.. and my dad keeps telling me that no one loves me expect him. im confused and lonely.
Perkenalkan saya dari Indonesia, saya terkena penyakit ptsd karena seringnya mengalami Bullying tapi sudah mulai membaik yang ingin saya sampaikan jangan menyerah lakukan aktivitas olah raga, berfikir positif, mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan yang maha esa dan berdoa untuk kesembuhan karena atas izinnyalah kita bisa di berikan kesembuhan
I have PTSD from being attacked by a cyberstalker hacker in Ottawa, David Cavlovic. A major part of healing involves my victim impact statement I will read out loud in the courthouse to the judge. I have my police report as well
hello sir.. your video is quite informative.. my aunt use to suffer from this.. after my uncle died.. she was so sad and ultimately developed this problem.. then someone suggested her planet ayurveda products and a bit of councelling and these two things really were of great help..
My PTSD was from two people using me. One of them used me as a sex toy. I was abused sexually and was touched in ways that no one should go through. The other person hurt me over and over, saying she would kill herself if I left her. I was forced into a relationship with her. It was horrible. Every day felt worse and worse. Knowing I would have to stay up late at night or not even sleep to make sure that she wouldn’t hurt herself. I was scared that if I left her, she would die. And it would be on me. For a long time I considered suicide. I thought it was a way out from everything. And recently I had gotten horrible thoughts about it. I’m alive though. Those people are far away from me now. I’m 13 and in therapy. Soon I’ll be taken to a psychiatrist to go in depth of my trauma. For those people out there who have been abused and used, know that you aren’t broken. You never were. You were shattered, but here you are. Living. You might have a broken heart or soul, but that doesn’t mean that you really are broken. No one is ever fully broken. There’s always a piece that someone can put back. And sure, sometimes someone will knock us over, crack us, and hurt us. But we need to come back. Keep getting back up. Fighting back against those thoughts. Those people. Don’t give up on life. I did. And I felt alone when I did. But I was never actually alone. I didn’t notice that people were there for me. Some of you might not have a specific someone there for you like a parent or sibling, but there are friends. Family. Even strangers online. Like me. There are people who care about you. It doesn’t seem like it, but there are. Remember that you aren’t just some random person. You are you. Someone who lives, cares, and breathes. Stay safe.
I have a question to ask, so at night during 3am,I had to use the bathroom so I plugged the turbo on, the cable outlet just lit up for abit and my finger had a burnt mark (Im fine, I had no injury) and to this say, whenever I hear some kind of electrical explosion (take the sound someone using an electric racquet to kill a mosquito for example) I just jump and I'm mostly afraid to hear that shock due to that incident I have that night, I just wanna make sure, do I have PTSD or is there a name for that ?
This is the worst! so once I got a tiny fish bone stuck on my throat, my chest was in pain, I could breath fine but I could feel the bone, and I was in big stress. I thought I would have to go to the hospital, or even die. I didn't have to go to the doctor for a few days it was gone but the trauma still is there! I can't even look at food now without getting scared it will get stuck on my throat and now I feel like something is stuck on my throat, even tho I haven't eatin anything 😓
I have a nervous breakdown multiple times a month recently ever since getting clean. My PTSD revolves around my family’s response to my OCD. They wouldn’t let me get treatment. And a sad story that I can’t relate without having a nervous breakdown. I’m experiencing a breakdown right now.
I’ve got to the stage now where I don’t want to talk about it (just re lives it) I certainly don’t want a diagnosis or sympathy. I don’t want to blame. I don’t want anyone to know. I just want to forget it all and move on in a positive direction.
