Its also sad when you tell people you have it and they don't believe you.
They think you are just trying to gain sympathy.
Sympathy is the ONE THING A PTSD SUFFERER DOES NOT NEED OR WANT.........BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blue Makem Exactly, You don’t want sympathy you just wish it wasn’t there or the flashbacks were gone
Yes like bitch what can I possibly do with your sympathy
Yes that is the worst feeling in the world
Ptsd here. Flashbacks, nightmares, brain fog, rage, missing my old self. Medicine, therapy and group has helped. No more rage, though i removed all toxic folks out my life. :) mandatory for healing
Me.
Flashbacks: No
Nightmares: Sometimes
Brain Fog: i don't have it right now but sometimes
Missing My Old Self: Yes

God bless our men and women in the service I only thought people could get PTSD from war now I suffer from PTSD and general anxiety and I have not been in the military but I've been through a lot in my life I seen a lot of crazy stuff all my doctors want to do for me is to put me on antidepressants that don't work for me yes antidepressants might help other people I tried them two times and I almost died I did not feel like myself at all thank God my brothers were with me I just don't understand what my doctor is putting me through or my shrink instead of listening to me what helps me to stay calm and level they want to say what works for me I have no say what works for me it's getting me really pissed off that I am like a guinea pig I feel like I am judged I was on my Klonopin for 4 years and I was stable now my doctor retired and I found a new one and all he does is not listen to me it is b*******
@@larrybecker9565 I would suggest you get yourself another doctor soon rather than later. Stay strong..... from another ptsd sufferer. 😁👍

I was diagnosed with PTSD a couple years ago when I was sent to a mental hospital from being suicidal. I was suffering and it has affected my life in so many ways. I was abused my whole childhood, from age 3-10. It has made me who I am today. My heart goes out to all the people who suffer from this disorder
Gabriella ballor I relate. Thanks for this comment. I don't feel so alone anymore.
You're strong, glad that you're still on this earth and living better❤
Very sad to hear.
I’m suffering the same situation it’s hard for me to get over it.. and move on 😞 I suffer so bad
I know what you mean. I was repeatedly physically beaten when I younger and this developed into depression in my teens. My mum passed away at that caused me to develop PTSD. I couldn't talk about it. Woke my partner and son up every night screaming and crying in my sleep. When anyone asked me what was up I'd to anything to avoid talking about my mum. I'd purposely avoid looking at pics of her etc. Its always good to get and talk about things. If you want to talk feel free to message me. I'll give you email if you want. Hope you're ok.
There’s a difference between PTSD and C-PTSD (complex PTSD). C-PTSD is the result of years of trauma, often abuse. Our nervous systems are constantly on high alert in fight-flight-freeze. We often respond to minor things like it’s “the big one”. I was abused by a Narcissistic Borderline mother (and Histrionic Narcissist sister) for 43 years. There is hope for people like me with severe childhood trauma. There’s a new type of therapy that can actually help us heal. It’s called Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy, or DNMS. It was created by a woman named Shirley Jean Schmidt and there’s a great video on CZcams that explains it.
Cara Sachs I never knew that I believe I have c ptsd. Damn sucks but ima have to find ways to cope as best as I could thanks for sharing the info.
CARA AS MUCH AS I RESONATE WITH YOUR COMMENT AS A CPTSD SURVIVOR I CAN SAY WEED IS THE ONLY RESOLUTION ANYONE WILL HAVE WITH THIS DISORDER. WEED WORKED WONDERS FOR ME. POTENT WEED IS BEST! THE MORE POTENT THE BETTER!
Here is the quote you need to learn from that site that explains in one paragraph the solution to what youve suffered through all your life.
"“Researchers found that people with PTSD had lower levels of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid compound, compared to those who did not show signs of PTSD,” Lee wrote, “Innate to all mammals, anandamide (our inner cannabis, so to speak) triggers the same receptors that are activated by THC and other components of the marijuana plant.”
In other words, one pillar of PTSD is an endocannabinoid deficiency: the body stops producing enough endocannabinoids to fill receptor sites, and this is where the cannabinoids found in marijuana play a therapeutic role. By replenishing these missing endocannabinoids with those found in cannabis, researchers think marijuana pharmaceuticals might bring PTSD patients relief from their memories."

I LOVE NUTMEG :] I’m glad you’ve found something that helps you. However there is no “one size fits all” medication (including cannabis). It is not the answer for me and for many others.
Cara Sachs I am so sorry. I have c-ptsd from being sexually and verbally abused by my father for 6 years- and I thought mine was bad.... 43 years would have been horrifying.
Thank you ! For imfo.
I'm 17 and have been diagnosed with PTSD from an abusive childhood and sexual abuse. How do we get these teens help as well?
Karleigh Strickfaden - check with your dr or the local health dept in your area. I was also sexually abused from age 4 - 17 by multiple people. I have PTSD with suicidal ideations. I have been in therapy for 3 plus years. I love my counselor, she is awesome. If you don't click with your counselor keep looking for the right one.
YOU CAN ALSO TRY MEDICAL WEED! I MEAN IT IS LEGAL AND BECOMING LEGAL...
NOW BEFORE PPL SHOOT DOWN COMMENTS LIKE THESE (I SEE PPL HATE THESE WEED COMMENTS) UNDERSTAND I HAVE CPTSD AND WEED REVERSED EVERY SINGLE SYMPTOM. NOTHING BUT WEED WILL PUSH THIS NASTY SHIT AWAY. IF FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU CAN'T FORGIVE AREN'T READY TO COPE THEN STAY HIGH MY LOVELIES! ITS LIKE THEY SAY THE WEED WILL GET YOU THROUGH IT
:( so sorry you went through a rough childhood
@@vaiona5156 same here and also from 11 years of domestic violence. I was diagnosed 18 years ago and im still fighting it but not i fight it with help of a psychiatrist, please never self medicate to cope. You can reach out to me if you need just a friendly person to listen to you when you need it, god bless you honey!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m 16 and I have PTSD caused by abuse and sexual assault. I’m on anxiety medication and a medication that helps with nightmares but I still have a lot of issues with really loud noises and a lot of yelling. I wish that people would take into consideration that it isn’t just military related. Thanks for raising awareness about this.
Thank you! Glad to know that I'm not the only one going through this. I hope that things get better for you as well!
Me too 😓😓
Hope you are feeling better
Hope you have reported Abuser
It’s real & It’s not all in your head 💯❤️
Kiarah Davis it is real you can see the damage under an fmri
It's in my head
@@umargamer5550 no it isn’t it’s real
@@dawit3135 are you kidding? 😂
I get headaches when memories in subconscious mind come back
Is hell
I have c-ptsd from being verbally and sexually abused by my own dad. It went on for about 6 years. I'm 12 right now, and in the beginning of this school year I didn't feel normal. At the school dances they would play loud music and people would scream. That type of stuff triggered my ptsd, and i would always cry at the formals. People would always get annoyed from me crying so much that it made me feel like I was alone in the world. Now I'm better though. I finally got the voice to actually be open about it. I started talking to my best friends and a counselor. I'm just telling y'all, some years/days/hours are better then others. In 5th grade I would break out in tears everyday. Now, I can actually talk about the things that happened to me without crying. :') thanks for reading.
God bless you Emily. You did not deserve that. You are amazing and loved.♡♡
emily markx Somatic therapy is the best approach for survivors like you. I am so sorry you went through that. You are not alone.
I was diagnosed with PTSD due to years of incarceration. Sad thing is that no one addresses the fact that one can receive it from a prison experience.
Oh my, I'm sorry! I wish people would take this mental illness much more seriously. It hurts so badly.
I appreciate you posting. I worked at a male prison as non-custodial and saw first hand vulnerable boys and men who need more access to services (if motivated). It broke my heart. Many people forget you're all someone's Son, Brother, Father, all with different backgrounds and reasons for being sentenced. I'm so sorry and hope you embrace as much support to limit triggers. God bless 🙏
PTSD is no joke. It’s hard to admit because it’s personal. It’s hard to talk about.
Ptsd is real! I have survived rape,violence and bullying at school,and pedophiles that tried to rape me in my neighborhood. And i was in 2 huge car accidents as a kid .
The trauma, It fucks with you brain,and its symptoms is life damaging.
Much love and stay strong,my feĺlow humans with ptsd.
Having PTSD is horrible, I definitely think our troops need better support when returning from serving our country, but the truth is most people in America that suffer from PTSD never served in the military. I am having a hell of a time finding help with mine. Living with this has been very tiring on me as a person and I want help.
PTSD is no joke. I have it and so does my sweet mom. From years of abuse and neglect and even worse on her part. I got help for it, I just wish she would. It changed my life and I know it will change hers. ❤️
I am a 58 year old female. I was diagnosed with PTSD due to workplace bullying. It is definitely real. The bullying is on my mind 24/7
It's sad because I have no friends.
The bully was in control of my looking and talking to other co worker's. I had to leave the company before I had a breakdown.
I'm so glad y'all are bringing awareness to this. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2011 and while I'm doing better its still an every day process. Im very lucky to have a patient and kind husband. I have night terrors, and I'm easily startled. To know there is so much more help out there now is amazing and I was and am so lucky to have such amazing support. Thank you for sharing your story India. Praying for you and all those who suffer.
I hope you've found the correct treatment and are doing much better. I've just found out that I have PTSD and I've had it for 8 years! After about 5 years though my startle response totally vanished!!! Is this normal do u know?
How are you now?
PTSD is life altering. I've had it over 20 years and my daughter has it as well. We have a service dog in training and just having him with me has changed my life.
I served 24 years in the Army. Went to the VA for help. I talked for about 5 minutes. The female folded her arms and said " what do you want me to do?" I just walked out. It hurts.
Tim Haverland temple tx
CVMA Roster Thank you for your service!
Brother you should've told her supervisor.
Wow so awful. Sorry you were treated so cold.
I agree I’m active duty navy and they think we all want money. A dollar can’t help this I need real help
I have PTSD since my Dad and teacher Dave Sanders was murdered at Columbine High School on 4-20-1999!!😢 Along with 23 other traumas in my life.😒
Cindy Smith ): That's horrible I am so sorry. You're dad is a hero
Rest In Peace to your dad
Cindy Smith
And he could have been saved, if all the law enforcement agencies, had taken their heads out of their butts and stormed the building.
That's crazy I live a hour away I recently went to the Memorial and showed my respects Rest in peace to your dad and every one else in that tragedy
So sorry for your loss & hope you are receiving help for your PTSD. Our community recently experienced a similar loss with the Parkland school shooting in South Florida in February 2018. Hopefully, the March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C. this past March 2018 will have a positive outcome regarding civilian access to purchase automatic weapons originally created for military combat situations. BTW, I have served in the U.S. Army Reserve twice, most recently in 2001-2003 as a 1st Lieutenant with a Combat Support Unit (CSH).
Im glad you can raise awareness for things like ptsd. Thank you doctors!
I wonder if you guys will cover social anxiety disorder and severe depression from it
28 yes of sheer hell, guilt, rage, depression, chronic anxiety and severe suicidal tendencies..I hate myself and iv never done a thing wrong to anyone....
I think I’m developing ptsd from my dad being abusive and breaking things in front of me since birth.. I tried talking to my primary care but she just thinks I’m wanting attention 😑
Samantha Videos a lot of these doctors are evil witch doctors. Can't help you and quick to shove poisons (pills) down your throat. They either can't help you, or misdiagnose you or something.
Samantha Videos that sucks
...but she could have C-PTSD (Complex PTSD). As someone else mentioned in the comments, it occurs after dealing with years of recurring, "smaller" traumas, such as seeing a caregiver throw things and lash out constantly throughout childhood. Depending on Samantha's age, she could try speaking with a school counselor so that arrangements can be made to get proper treatment. If she is older, she needs to try asking the primary care doctor for a referral to a trained psychiatrist or therapist.
@Jesenia A year or so from now when your life goes in the toilet, this is why
Drs are not psychologists. Many don't understand these issues. And I have grown up in a similar household, and 50 years later, I can assure you that it is traumatising. Don't give up looking for help. Wanting attention is often because we need the right kind of attention. Take care and don't loose hope. Life is a long journey.
I think I have PTSD due two traumatic car accidents. I had sopped driving with the first and second car accident. Recently I wanted to cry bc my mom was driving on the highway. in my head I thought she was gonna crash into another car. Like I already see it happening, basically a vision. anytime someone drives or I drive I develop a feeling of cringe, like stiffness in muscles. I recently just noticed this. and I do not drive on the highway anymore. the accident wasn't on a highway, but I develop a feeling of anxiety of accidently go on the highway. I don't have night terrors though.
I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 15 but had it since I was 7 though wasn’t comforted about it until then, it’s the worst thing ever especially in a everyday life routine, when I told someone for the first time about it (besides my family and doctors) they were 100% supportive and caring over wanting me to get better, I’m now 17 almost 18 in a few months and my struggles with it is still a battle but I know I have many people to trust and comfort me and as of right now I’m having an episode because of writing this I know I’m all right so don’t worry for all who go through this YOU ARE NOT ALONE ❤️.

I’m literally scared of the hospital especially that specific hospital. It’s really scary, when I get flashbacks I roll up into a ball and put my hands on my ear and start pulling my hair and I start crying, and shaking. I do have a therapist but I’m scared to talk about it with her I trust her but I’m scared Ima get flashbacks and remember those events.
I used to have it. I was adopted , I was taken out of my home when I had just turned 4. I had it until I was 16. I was able to get over it with the help of my adopted Mom.
+25% of foster kids have PTSD. My situation was indeed horrible. But I am proof that PTSD can be a thing of the past if you are able to reach out for help. Please never suffer alone with this, they are many people out there that are wanting to help you.
Also I recommend that you get a dog, even if it isn't considered a service dog. My dogs growing up really helped me to feel safe and loved.
You can tell me something and I will literally forget a few seconds later unless I write it down.
That's a good thing.....
This is why I’ll never agree with the military and what it does. Furthermore, other people can have PTSD too. Not just veterans and yet it seems they’re the only ones society allows having it.
Chestney Chiller Thank You for pointing that out. I never served, but have been fighting this since 2007. Usually when I let my guard down and tell people that I have PTSD they ask what war I was in. Of course I let them know that I am and always have been a civilian, and I assume that translate to I am a liar.
Tim Haverland i was shot at, and beaten half to death in the same night. That was 12 years ago
I was diagnosed with ptsd for many years now. It's very hard for me to stay afloat and hard for me to forgive my self for feeling guilt for the death of a person that I really loved since my childhood its not easy😢
Wow, that's a huge amount of service, God bless her and all the troops that helped us. 💗
I have PTSD from death Family I have bad dreams over again
I never been in the military, but I can relate to India's story. I hope she is doing much better. ❤
PTSD is a mysterious thing.
Poem titled, “My place has changed."
My place has changed,
From the things once seen.
To where I do not know.
Only I can say ‘I can return.’
Only I can find that way
To my source in life,
With the time I have left
I must overcome.
It’s I who must come back.
The first few years I was suffering with PTSD (I am a civilian), I also denied that there is something wrong with me. I finally came to terms with it and am reviving treatment along with taking cannabis to help me sleep at night and a lot of my severe symptoms are under control.
My mother said to me she's going to the mall to get some food and she didn't come back, we called the police and everything we didn't know where she is for 2 days, that was the most horrifying experience in my life, now I have to live with the stress and anxiety, I need help
What does one do when the y can not talk to anyone about it ? Because of not trusting anyone?
Thank you for this. I have a service dog for Complex PTSD and medical issues. My PTSD is from childhood abuse and went on from the time I was 9-13
I was diagnosed with PTSD after loosing my mom in 08, i try to avoid the place where she died, esp. the icu dept. that really triggers it.
Ptsd is this constant feeling of never feeling safe like something at any moment could go completely unhinged
I was diagnosed with ptsd in 2013 but it’s actually getting less severe as far as flashbacks and nightmares go, probably thanks to extensive therapy and proper medication
I'm 16 people in my reality say that I'm diagnosed with ptsd Honestly, everyday is battle with my mind. I don't know if this is related to PTSD or not but I feel like I have these demons in my head there are trying to make me think of these flashbacks and urges of the things I don't want to think. But really I have three people in my head that I don't see and I don't hear. They comes from my head and my mouth. And I can't stop talking to them. I can't talk to people without me thinking that I look stupid I'm super self-conscious with myself every time I talk. I can't concentrate These demons, people in my head, thoughts, flashbacks and urges are trying to kill me.
I’ve asked for help but can’t find it .42 years dealing with this !
Ant Ville Typing in Somatic therapy on Google can help you find professional therapists
I have ptsd i was kidnapped when I was 14 years i am crying
Anyone here have any experience with MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD? It’s in clinical trials now.
I have PTSD from having my third child born with multiple birth defects and spending 6 1/2 months straight in the hospital before passing away. I put off going to a doctor after moving shortly after he passed because of other related anxieties from that time.. I started on medication less than 2 weeks ago.
I hope you are doing ok. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that. Praying for you.
Hope you’re ok now ❤️❤️
I'm not diagnosed medically with PTSD but its been over a month and I've seen a firework mortar go bad, very close to me (10 yards) 3 adults thrown like pillows (2 of which easily 200 plus pounds) and one got his hand blown up and I will never forget the look on his face and his hands
I’m so hurt because I went to a mental health doctor who knew my situation and when I told her I think I may have PTSD and she told me no you don’t. Wow. I had two still births. And she knew so now I’ve been suffering in silence and thinking I’m crazy
Idk if I have ptsd. I might, when ever I hear a loud bang or a slap or eny sound made with a hand or a foot I start to cry and I will run away, if you wondering I was hit a few times by my father and I can't believe that it affected me this much. I want to tell my mom but I don't want to come off as attention seeking. What should I do?
I was quite surprised that I was diagnosed with PTSD. I thought it was something only vets experienced. Interesting that they discuss how it can present itself years after the trauma. I'm 55 and at the age of 14 my father was killed in a plane crash. It was 6 months before the plane was found and his body was recovered. Fast forward to about 2 years ago. I found out my husband was meeting another woman behind back (ironically, this woman is a pain management Dr., lol). I was told that this event, percieved as loss, brought up the trauma of loosing my dad. I was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. I was having the worst nightmares. I was seeing horrid flashes of my husband and this womans face in my dreams among other horrible things. I had a treatment called EMDR which eased the PTSD a lot. Didn't take the problem away but made life way more manageable and eased the symptoms to a great degree.
i have PTSD because of my aunt being cleverly humiliating me whenever she gets a chance.
You left out CPTSD Its even worse due to it being triggered by not one or two , but multiple complex events.
And you have 'Absolutely NO control' when the symptoms happens, and try to avoid situations that can trigger it. I've had it from before I was adopted caused by biological parents abuse, foster care abuse, and to make it worse similar abuse by bullies in elementary, middle and high school. I was misdiagnosed only last week we found the true answer as CPTSD Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Of course unless your from military, and or wealthy, it is very, very difficult to get assistance with the$$$$$$ of treatment, and if its recommended a CPTSD/PTSD therapy dog to help that is out of reach, due to how expensive they deliberately make it to own one to assist yes I'm talking $$$$$$$ average $15,000 for a trained CPTSD/PTSD dog that could help make a difference of the world for a none-wealthy, none-military person suffering with CPTSD/PTSD, but is due to cost out of reach.
Just a note, service dogs can't be "protective" or show any form of aggression, per federal law. German Shepherds are usually not recommended for psychiatric service dogs because they are hardwired for protection, and may interpret your triggers as things they need to aggressively protect you from
Woah I've just realised I've got PTSD!!! My fight or flight senses are on full alert 24/7 unless I self medicate myself!! I avoid thoughts and situations that remind me of the event!! I've had this for about 8 years!! After about 5 years I noticed that my startle response has completely vanished, is that normal? I don't even know where to begin to get help with this grr! It's been so long that I just presumed I was forgetting stuff due to being older and because I smoke cigarettes. How on earth am I supposed to sit in front of a doctor and tell them that I'm potentially a weak person?
If you are the person who has complex PTSD You may he offered therapies used to treat PTSD such as trauma-cognitve behavioral therapy (CBT) or eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EDMR).
My name is keekee and im learning to live with ptsd
I have PTSD from a car accident that i was involved in. I was at a funeral (my aunts) and a power pole fell over on my car. I avoid poles, trees, pretty much anything that can fall over on a car and total it. I also have Severe Panic Attack Disorder and Anxiety Attacks as well as Severe Social Anxiety and to which i have a Service Dog.
I started having dreams about plane and helicopter crashes after Kobe Bryant died.I also had mixtures of dreams about Aaliyah and Kobe as well.All I could think about was them 24/7.These dreams have lasted for months and I still have them.
A dog attack is what really triggered my PTSD. There’s moments where I’ll start crying for no reason. The worst is when I’m all alone in my room. That is the most loneliest part of my life because I still see the dog ready to pounce on me. Jus tearing my face to shreds until I’m no more.
I believe I have PTSD. I lost my Dad in 2015 then my Mom in 2017 plus I've had to live with a bedbug infestation for a year. I feel I'm loosing it...😥😥😥😥
Give charity
What if you got misdiagnosed by governmental healthcare and they refuse to accept your forms of medication due to established expectations, and you lose all control into what sobriety should feel like?
And since no one cares enough to accurately diagnose a PTSD patient that developed ADD and ADHD, even the patient due to uphill battle for the entire thing, the world will feel this one.
Only 8,000,000? So low of a number compared to the population. My girlfriend shot herself in the head with my pistol and died in my bed. I was in the living room. We were arguing, yelling at each other back and forth. She spoke her last words to me, I said things I didn’t mean. I carry her death with me every damn day. I’m still trying to be okay. She passed in June 2019
I was diagnosted with PTSD when I was 13 years old I started with medications and therapy it took 4 years of hard working to sleep at night but I still have other issues of the trauma ive been true
How are you now?
@@mikelrano2557 still not recovered but making small steps to a better life
Does everyone get PTSD?
I found my dad immediately after he hung himself when I was 13. I’m 26 now. Although I feel like It changed me a little, I don’t feel like I have PTSD.
Maybe It’s about to get me soon?
Crazy to think about
Everything affects everyone different
I got ptsd when I jumped into a burning car to save someone and some of his skin had burned off in the fire. But when you guys know what burnt flesh smells like you’ll never forget it. And every time I see a car fire I think of that moment and that smell.
So much is not spoken about PTSD in adopted children. ADHD is often misdiagnosed in adopted children when it can be a result of C-PTSD or PTSD. I feel the need to write a book about separation trauma in adoptees and orphans, a very hard PTSD to spot.
I found my aunts lifeless body last night. I preformed CPR on her dead body. I can’t get the taste, the picture of it all out of my mind.
One cause of PTSD not mentioned is suddenly being abandoned by a long time spouse. Mostly men suffer from this.
Hmmm. Yet children are abandoned by their fathers every day 😒. Gtfoh.
I’m not sure if mine is cptsd or ptsd. Mine is medical ptsd from months of abuse from the school nurse and multiple er visits
I have PTSD from serving 6 years in prison for a Robbery Charge I’ve never done
You start off an intro backing up ur guests point about people stereotyping PTSD with War. That triggered me... hard. Idk why but flared up my fight or flight response...
Have it
PTSD must be hard it seems like anxiety and panic attacks amplified while in a nightmare,
:-( On a happy note 1:53 she sounds like Siri
I fell from a roof over 4months ago now and it really hurts it’s like having a bully poking you saying hey hey remember when you did that it hurts I hate it
Yep!! Stay strong .. we are many, we are never alone
I think I have some form of ptsd because I was verbally abused from ages 9-11 and I just recently lost my cousin, who was my very best friend, a couple months ago. Sometimes I get flashbacks of the abuse and I get emotional when people yell at me. I don't know if I have ptsd but I might.
3 am right now and I know how she feels
Ok, something is not adding up.... She said she started serving in 1981, and she's 36. This video was back in 2017, so that means she began serving the year she was born? Make it make sense...And before the internet Mob comes after me, I'm currently in the Army and have been for the last 21 years....
Doctors I pray u mention narcissistic abuse and ptsd
I'm so confused if I'm just over dramatic or what.
I was sexually harassed for years, and I have different triggers that trigger it. I also have panic attacks from this event, and it can get as bad as hearing my abuser, and feeling him touching me.
I can also hear him sometimes when I'm not even having an attack.
I'm so confused?
Before I watched this video I didn't know PTSD could result from the death of a family member. Well my mother died back in 2018. Could that be at least I found out I have the symtoms of PTSD after taking a test in another video a while back?
Let's be kind to each other 🙏❤
Im 17 and i have PTSD,

I started have PTSD when i was 10 years old.

My dream and flashback is I got a lot abuse Bully me and they make me feel hurt so much and i always get stress and i feel pain my head
And on November 2018 on my birthday, my family prepare my special birthday for me while i going to school and when i back home my house is burning down and all people are laughing and nothing to do and they not helping and i saw my parents and my family are look terrified and my mother and my brother they get hurt and my dad taking them to the hospital and i was so scared ! And morning i sleep with my aunt's house i sleep all by myself and alone.. i got flashback again about the demons killing my family about my house burn down on my birthday and i wake up and i cried and cried ! But that's a past by now and my family and me we have good to live life and i have a necklces with jesus that my parent told me always i wear my necklaces around my neck about nothing happend to me and no flashback..and i stay positive and control myself and peace..
I got the third symptom... Just seeing some group of people im gonna attack them because I always thought they were bullies because I have been bullied before and I get called out a lot and I get out burst leading me to punch the wall a lot until my knuckles are red and sometimes screaming. In short I got aggressive but I always store it inside and sometimes that feeling that you just want to talk to someone that can help your problem is very common. Thats my experience with ptsd before back in 6th grade and it has been 2 years from now.
I experience this to pff. Its no funn and stress full and exhausting but we Carry on with all the love in ouer hearts and soul . Try doing things what makes you relaxed i do iT with music listning , try to learn a instrument or try singing I Love you all we are not alone huggs and Kisses we are stars🌟 and full of love ❤️❤️🦋🦋
I just realized and the last 3 or 4 weeks that I've had PTSD for years now..... I get hyper anxiety from a stalker I have that has been stalking me for 14 years..... There are no laws and no way to stop him.... so it's going to continue on.......
Same me
After i got 2 axiety attack
It traumatized my subconscious mind
I had for two years mental fatigue lot of headaches no reason and stuff
Now i understand i have light post trauma.i was wth
I have ptsd . Is common in me age in the city i grow up in..
It's been a year since my dad passed and my mom just thinks it's anxiety but I keep seeing him die in diffrent ways in my dreams and i can sometimes gave flashbacks of the hospial what do I do?
Im pretty sure i have ptsd. I have no idea how to get help.
i’m scared to talk to my therapist... i think i have PTSD.. i get nightmares every night, i wake up screaming and cry...and whenever i see a very tall man i just start to cry and my mind starts to race and i don’t know what to do w/ myself i just turn around and walk the other direction..... my brother verbally and physically abused me and my sister since i was 7-12 i’m 15 now.... everything started to happen 2 months ago... i don’t want to come off as attention seeking to my mom or my therapist
You should tell your therapist. Maybe they can help with it... trust me it help me when I talked to my therapist about it....I suffer from PTSD because I was sexual abuse by my uncle's and there friend when I was just only 8years old.....but the it stopped when I was 14 years old...I'm 18 now. But the PTSD got worse because I never told anybody and I never got help with it so I kept on getting worser until I talk to my therapist and it helped me a lot see maybe you should go and talk to them. So you can see if they can help you

My tramatic event happened a few years ago ... OoF also I don't have flashbacks but I do randomly think about it and start crying but silently.I just freeze and cry No one really notices it.I get startled real easily,I have anxiety,panic attacks,angery outbursts,I can't sleep and I'm TERRIFIED of the dark.my mom doesn't think I have PTSD.
Research "emotional flashbacks", I thought I wasn't having flashbacks either, since they weren't visual, but there are actually several different kinds of ptsd flashbacks and most don't have a visual component
I am doing an awareness campaign on PTSD, and I would love to reach out and get more information on India. If someone has her last name or any idea on how to get information that would be great.
God damnit why do we do this to our soldiers needlessly. I hope that everything is going great for this woman.
Hi! I got through tests by 5 different people to find out if i have more than the two disorders i already been diagnosed with, namely psychotic disorder and schizophrenia, they found that i also have ADHD and panic anxiety and they said i have posttraumatic stress but without the "D" but like the "D" in "PTSD" only mean "Disorder" so in reality i do really have PTSD am i right?
I have ptsd and it feels as though I am going insane
ME
I have PTSD. I was raped and in a abusive relationship. PTSD is degrading.
I'm not in that abusive relationship now it's been 3 years but it still haunts me
Yeah but the Post Traumatic Stress disorder is not always to do with war and military it can also be related to childhood trauma as well. I have numbed my mind to society and I just try to get by the best way I can, (any of us who are struggling with PTSD and other mental health stressors tend to find their own ways of coping). Medication, (I do not believe in that because that just masks the problem) however, there some that disagree with me and that is fine because I was raised to believe that any psychotropic medications is not that helpful. I am very hyper vigilant and always look around at my settings all the time and over the years that became a big issues. I have no contact with family at all and limited friend contact and so I am pretty “much isolated” I find it very difficult trusting people for fear of being ridiculed and judged and also their is another mental condition called: “Cleithrophobia” and that is living with the fear of having a trapped mind and often PTSD can relate to that. (It is like the flashbacks are like a cinematic movie reel that is constantly repeating itself over and over again inside one’s mind to the point of total of driving someone totally insane) it is painfully unbearable and difficult for many who have not experienced it for themselves and often medical specialists find it quite challenging talking about it and they can be quite biased and shallow about it. It is a form on mental time travel where in your mind you are constantly travelling into the past but in your physical being you are always living in the present moment.
