😭 I’m fighting for my sanity with the complex ptsd. My whole life fell apart I’m loosing everything as I can’t financially sustain myself. I’m constantly battling jitters n have panic disorder. It’s a mess n the fight doesn’t feel worth continuing to fight. I need to be a sugar baby or something so I don’t have to worry about bills
I would advise instead of sugar babying (bc I’ve thought the saaaame thing fr) start watching videos about Tibetan Buddhist meditation.. just center on a speaker that makes you laugh and you can relate to what they’re saying..and take their advice. I don’t say this to shame you, I promise, it’s just I am worried for you that continuing to solely focus on financial needs (which are obviously Extremely Relevant) will just push you further into being hurt and feeling oppressed and exhausted and wtv else. Again, not saying don’t do that, really just saying - whatever you do, find some form of meditation that works for you. Everyone “meditates” in their own way the hard part is finding someone to explain it in a way that clicks - once that happens, (which CZcams makes way easier than any other period of human history previously) - you will find a sense of calm and peace and *strength* that will enable you to more than resolve your financial issues or whatever else. My 2 cents 🤝🏽 I hope you listen. Bc I genuinely do feel you. This was the only thing that truly helped me. And i allowed my focus to be pulled back into money, success, personal relationships- and I find myself unhappy, unbalanced, and panicked once again - and looking to find my way back. Best of luck love ❤
@@marwajaafar1941that was a lovely response, I'm taking your advice..
I was diagnosed & sat in denial for a long time. It was only when I educated myself that I realized I really had it. I’ve had so many traumas in my life I’m not sure which one (maybe all?) triggered the ptsd. But here I am. Doing well with therapy
@Rose Mary thank you!!
Absolutely,for me it's several traumas over decades ,I do have ptsd ,it took me alot to accept it,I take meds and try to stay away from any negativity ❤
It is good that you are in therapy most people can overcome ptsd with help of a therapist. The biggest problems accur if people are not realising that they have a problem and don't do anything about it so you are alread a big step towards healing. The biggest problem is that psychologycal problems are often times talked down in our society even if they are as normal as pysical injuries and they can be threated and there is not shame in talking over them :)
Nice! Good luck on recovering
@@kuessebrama "not realising they have a problem". Have you any idea how ridiculous that is? Stop looking for problems and therapists. Years ago they had no therapists, I'm surprised anybody survived. But here we all are! A miracle I tell you.
there are so many people who will offer sincere yet hurtful advice and its so unfortunate because many times ive tried to talk about what happened and in only a few sentences was given a “solution” to my situation, as if i could go back to being who i was before it all happened
i wish it was like that. i wish people tried to understand and make us feel safe.
Exactly. ❤
Hi how you. Hope to get to know you well. Would like someone to relate to.
*Waves hand* I have chronic PTSD. I’ve been in therapy for 2 years now and I only now feel like I’ve been noticing really big improvements. I’m grateful for that, but its definitely a worse before its better experience. I’m thankful for my kick*ss therapist for sticking with me and genuinely caring. I think I’m still relearning that, as humans, we need people who love us to care for us. Learning to live like that is so hard but I know it has to be worth it.
I have Chronic PTSD and DID, still struggling to find treatment but I'm glad you found a therapist who works for you!
What we’re your improvements? I don’t mean this in a bad way but a part of me feels this can’t be helped. It’s like I’m muted emotionally.
@@victoriakenney2848 it can absolutely be helped, but it takes years and lots of hard work.
developed PTSD from being attacked by a cyberstalker, hacker in Ottawa, David Cavlovic. A major part of my healing involves reading my victim impact statement in the courthouse for the judge to hear.
Wow- that sounds bad, hope ur doing better now ❤
Same
Hey. I've ptsd and I'm badly looking out for help. As a student, it has a bad impact on my studies, social life and relationships with friends and family. I always feel scared and trapped. It feels like there's no ending of this feeling. I want to get out of it so bad.. Can you tell me what can I do to get rid of this problem in my daily life? I would be so thankful.
watch some Jordan Peterson videos and find a good psychologist to work with, emdr is a great option too
@@jessiemeeks7035 yea I'll try that
@@Worldarts978 I feel you, I have ptsd too. Wherever you are think about good things. I whish you have love and peace ❤
Hey, I've been through countless major traumas and have PTSD as well. I'm on my journey to kicking PTSD's behind myself. There are a LOT of options. Its about finding what works for you. Here's some:
-Trauma focused therapy/counseling (which can include therapies that help for trauma including EMDR therapy, biofeedback, Cognitive Behavioural therapy, DBT, gradual exposure therapy, and more.)
-Medications from a psychiatrist (which can help the symptoms you struggle with while you do the other things to heal)
-TMS therapy (Google it because google can explain it better than I can. My sister had it done for anxiety and depression and it helped a lot. It's supposedly good for PTSD as well. And almost zero side effects.)
-Psychadelic therapy or ketamine treatments: May include psilocybin in very small doses (the compound found in "shrooms") called microdosing, ketamine treatment under a doctors care, and I've heard of some using DMT as well.
-Alternative therapies like horse therapy, art, music therapy, etc. Which i HIGHLY recommend.
-Outdoors and exercise help as well
-Virtual Reality therapy (basically exposure therapy in a safe environment that you can take off if you get overwhelmed)
-Many many other methods of therapy to help your brain re-regulate itself
I'm not sure what type of traumas you've experienced, and some therapy methods work better with different traumas, but all of the above will help greatly. The #1 thing I recommend though is working with a good psychologist, therapist, and/or mental health caseworker. They'll find you the resources you need that will help you individually the best.
Wishing you healing, peace, and good mental health. Let me know if you have any questions 💜
Me too!
So true. I struggle with PTSD and I feel disconnected and detached. It's so terrible feeling that way. Thanks for making us feel that we are normal because it is simply the direct response to chronic trauma.
I agree on all points. It's unfortunate that majority of people do not grasp these truths and act/respond appropriately to someone who has experienced trauma and/or suffers PTSD. Heartfelt best wishes to you on your journey.
Survival mechanisms of our brains.
I'm going through a stressor that's causing me severe anxiety over things that shouldn't bother me
I have ptsd and I'm trying to recover
Very true. Trust issues and isolation is major one. Hope we r not being judged but sympathetic toward each other.
This was really helpful, I’ve recently been diagnosed with PTSD and have been wanting to find out more ways to cope and what this actually means to my life and this video really helped

@@connerhowe2 thank you, I’ll have a look :)
Yaa I didn't have a beautiful childhood.. and now I'm going through PTSD. I really wanna get off those memories that I've been through, but surprisingly half of me wants to keep it.
It always makes me Sad and heavy inside.
I have nobody that understands me and it’s getting me closer to the edge. I can only try so hard before I assume I need to delete my self from earth.
Please dont do it, go to therapy. Talk to a friend or just a random Person in the Park if you got nobody but dont think about this action. You are not alone, find your purpose and live for it.
@@mateusz3291 I can’t afford one
I don’t have one
I can’t find one
I’m not a idiot and if you thought about your answers within a few minutes don’t you think I would of came up with those same solutions in years of pain? Everybody thinks they have a solution like we are not of the same cloth. My life was ripped to pieces and no amount of glue can put it back together. I’ve done it all. Everything you could think of and more. Some people are forsaken and forced to suffer. If only I believed in god it would be easier. I don’t care what you think of my pain because you are just another whisper in a dark place without meaning. Be happy you are not me. Be happy you don’t hold on by broken nails everyday. I’ll make it longer than anyone because it’s my destiny too.
The best short summary I've heard yet.
I just got diagnosed with ptsd and this actually describes it very well
I cry, and I get scared 😱 😨 😢
I have nightmares, had a couple of them last night! Sweating 😓 😰
that's trauma
if its all about 1 specific thing and the nightmares are very common, its PTSD.
Google EMDR therapy 😊
Best wishes ❤
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)
If this works then you don’t have ptsd end of story. Your stupid cognitive training doesn’t help a injured brain. It’s a literal injury not a sickness
i been abuse a little and i have ptsd when i was 9 and im 13 now im very much stuck in ptsd for along time

I was in an eathquake about 5 years ago it was a 7.1 and it sounded like a fright train was about to hit the house. I was home alone and didn’t know when my parents would come back or if they would. And now when ever I hear a deep rumble or a slight shake I tense up and immediately have a video basically playing in my head of the time it happend.
i truely suffer from ptsd 😔
I might’ve gotten ptsd from my grandma because I genuinely feel like I get a panic attack if I think about it too much or go into depth on why I fear the memory.
Was she a narcissist?
Thank you Dr Ali. This information is very helpful.
I really enjoy your content!
So nice of you to say that! Thank you.
@@draliis it bad I think I might have PtSd????????
I’ve never found anyone who can help me. Thank you for sharing this video with us ❤
I'm a 27 years old man. My mind is in so much pain. 2 months ago, in an extremely distressing and painful emotional situation, I hit my head against the headboard of my bed. Now I have a minor cut on my forehead. People can't really notice it but I so much wish it fades away over time. It has impacted my self esteem quite negatively. All the time, I am conscious of myself. Every morning I wake up and get scared by seeing myself in the mirror. I repeatedly keep on asking myself questions like how could I do that to myself. But believe me, that moment was emotionally intensely suffocating and stressful for me. I wanted to scream alot to ease my pain that night but did not wish to disturb my parents.
I know my parents will never believe me if I tell them I have stress related trauma and ptsd.
Then they arent safe people to tell. It doesnt discount the fact you are traumatized. I know what you are going through. Educate yourself on narcissism and it will all make sense. 🕊
I just got officially diagnosed with PTSD over 2 years after I got shot in my arm. The incident was my fault in all honesty, but I didn’t even know I had PTSD from it. But it explains a lot of my emotions and destroyed friendships since the event happened. I wish I would’ve gone to therapy right after it instead of just physical therapy.
Why you get shoot?
I'm not sure if this exactly counts as trauma but when I was a teen I had a best friend who turned out to be a piece of garbage that abandoned me when I came down with the flu. Cause I might have exposed them to the flu. I've heard from so many people to just get over what she did and that sometimes people are weird, but it's hard. Every time I see her face or someone like her all of what she did floods back to me. Maybe it's because it's only been a few years since what happened but I'm not sure. What she did goes beyond ghosting and ignoring me because she also spread rumors about me, and left me to deal with a person that was toxic, and was also bringing down my reputation. It also didn't help in the middle of all this that we had what we thought was an active shooter in the school, but thankfully it just turned out to be a kid with a bb gun who was just making threats. However, everything got stressful because of this and I had what I can only describe as a panic attack in one of the school's bathrooms. Thankfully after cutting both of them out of my life my mental health has improved. However, I still struggle with a feeling of anger and memories of what she did any time I see a person that looks like her or is her. I’m thinking about maybe getting some therapy so I can talk through these issues; especially since some people around me have suggested that it might help, but I'm not sure if it even counts as trauma since other people in my life say I'm just being dramatic and that sometimes people are weird. Anyway sorry about dumping out my problems; just curious to see what some other people thought.
Your mind is working on a lesson, won't stop till you learn it
While in the process of loosing my career job.. my stress was 24/7, i couldn't sleep. The trauma of loosing my job, totally destroyed me.
Disconnect , detached....
nah u are just weak. ur inability to accept ur weakness destroyed u. not trauma. i lost job, i was homeless. but i like life im not weak fool like u.
I experience ptsd four years on every time I hear a loud noise or a fire work I jump I’m constantly looking over my shoulder on h th e street
Some one I never found out who or why put a home made firework/bomb though my letter box making me temporarily deaf , and panic stricken.
It didn’t help that police and other people who I reached out for help dismissed me
I've had trauma followed by PTSD ,
But the thing is that, It's going to be impossible to make sense of it BC it was induced by psychedelic abuse and my inside eyes cannot unsee what it has seen and what I saw have no words to describe it without sounding like a complete lunatic

Concise & accurate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so succinctly. This will help many
I’m trying my best to help my ex-girlfriend. We are best friends and I know her better than anyone. I can’t let here fall to the wayside. I’ve been educating myself and patient recently. I can see her progress since I came back. It’s real hard.
I can tell you from personal experience, to truly help someone who is living with this is the hardest, most selfless act you will ever commit to. You have to realize the seriousness of the role you play. It is very easy to cause your ex more harm than good. Every thought, word and action must be thought about very carefully before hand. You absolutely have to have an unconditional love and understanding for this person. You cant get in your feelings or take anything personal. You must make this person feel safe and secure in all areas at all times. That means allowing this person to be 100% themselves without getting upset, hurt, argumentative, opinionated, firmly disagreeing in away that allows them to perceive they are wrong or in trouble. Treat them as if they were just starting out in this word as your own child. Always, always remember to never say I understand, can relate, now how you feel or offer up a story about a time something happened to you. This really applies to everyone we interact with. If you really think about it logically, none of us knows anything about how things experienced by another individual is perceived and received. Each persons perception of reality and the feelings that go along with the experiences are unique. If unconditional love, kindness, thoughtfulness and servitude were the only characteristics we show others as we crossed paths with them, there would be no darkness in this world. It would be absolutely perfect.
You and the greene brothers give me the same vibe. It’s cool.
Thank you
You're welcome
Emotions...relationships...employment....it's AWEFUL
Yes!!, a wonderful feeling of safety!! Helps !, diag.ptsd.
Fact: over 90% of soldiers experience PTSD
Thats a given. Its the sociopaths that love war that dont have it. So if a soldier comes back and has no problems, do people really think thats strength? Guess again.
Back in April of 2023 i was taking meds or nerve pain . I was taking small dose and it was enough to give trauma back in 4-7 grade from 2004-2008 being bullied / made fun of how i looked because i had a tumor on back of my neck and they think it was okay to make me feel bad about my self . It took two months for me not think about it and i felt like i wanted really really hurt my self . Thankfully i been seeming someone is helping me
You can't help someone make sense of a trauma!!!!????? WHAT???? due that is not even possible.
I don’t know if I have ptsd because a few days ago I almost got in a car crash and I have like on going flashbacks and anxiety when I’m in cars
The time period isn’t long enough, but you should talk about it with others and process it as well as you can.
When I was young my mom wasn’t in a okay situation. She was having problems with alcohol, and some things I’d rather not say online (no physical harm.) but I was born across the country, and when I was little we moved around 4 times, all when I was 2-4. But I don’t remember much of it because my brain wants to protect me, and if it’s that bad I respect that. But I know what minor trauma feels like since a dog attacked me, because now I fear being close to dogs I know nothing about.
This is spot on
Yeah I do need to control my environment.
I grew up during civil war. From age 10-18, hiding from bombs, not knowing when there is school and when we come back home very early because bombs started again. When war stopped i had severe depression. Therapy helped, but i still struggle with functioning unless I'm under lots of pressure.
If so I litarlly have trauma rn.😢
I got trauma that develop into ptsd about 6 years ago. But mabye it was there already when I am still child it just got worse. It sucks because I really want to get rid of it and open up about it to people around me but I just cant.
The only way I see to deal with PTSD or depression is to simply ignore it. I survived by shutting emotions inside and I think it worked, at least for now.
Oh I think I have it
Story of my life I just wish there was a cure

I have CPTSD and DID from extensive childhood trauma. Finding help is SO hard. I've done DBT, I have endless coping skills, but I can't seem to find someone who can help with the healing part. EMDR is insanely triggering and sends me into horrible spirals and I want to find another option but whenever a treatment trends EVERYONE learns that and nothing else. It seems like every therapist only knows how to do CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I'd like to try IFS and Somatic therapies because I think they'll help me more but NOBODY does it and the people who do don't accept my insurance!! :( its not fair that my healing is reliant on what my insurance covers. At this rate I'll be suffering forever simply because I can't afford $150 per session when I need weekly session. I'm on SSI, only get $600/month. tf am i supposed to do here? :(
edit: sorry for ranting, I'm just so frustrated with the mental healthcare system and the scam that is health insurance. I just want to heal and feel human again.
Would love to hear the difference between C PTSD and PTSD. I was diagnosed with C PTSD.
CPTSD is trauma that has happened repeatedly. Could be a traumatic event in childhood that lasted over a period of time of a long lasting traumatic incident that happened later one in life. Or multiple single traumatic instances that happend over the couse of time. (years) That was my version of trying to explain the proper medical definition. lol I hope that makes sense and answer your question.
How do you help poverty? Physical pain?
Profound
i feel ptsd is not what you have seen or witnessed its what you done and choices that where made just my honest ever so humble opinion
You gotta love people's responses
"Look at the bright side"
"Cheer up"
"Move on"
See pal, the things that trauma causes, you don't just move on from; it's things you learn to live with and yes it's extremely frustrating
I have ptsd to my alarm clock I always get a sudden shock when I hear it (◐‿◑)
What is the diff in ptsd and what I have being Cptsd?
I hve it’s, not as bad as a lot of people will have it but it’s there. My house nearly burnt down and I nearly lost my sister from it, thankfully only our living room was damaged but it’s still scary and I stress abt that happening again a lot
You ain’t got ptsd.. you haven’t the slightest clue what it feels like.. .
How do you make nightmares go away
Yoriichi got Muzan PTSD lol

If you want them to feel safe offer them housing because the traumatised tend to be those who are the poorest and cant get there 💩 together
And

And kids have had 99.9 of trauma in their lives
I think there is no such a thing or incident spesifically described as trauma... Things happen and some weak individuals convert it to trauma Just like cancer inclined organisms... That is not to say very bad things are easy to overcome..
Lol so you think only “weak” people can have ptsd?
@@thichchuianti yupp
5% of people get ptsd every year. That means in 20 years …….
5% have ptsd after a trauma :V
Awful explanation to say the least. Dude makes ptsd seem like a flu that anyone can catch. It’s something that is developed by an situation that was extremely dangerous or a lifestyle you didn’t want forced on you that was abusive in nature. (Long term) it’s become a word to victimize yourself. Which is terrible considering the fact it’s a real thing that only happens when the brain goes through something it otherwise couldn’t or shouldn’t have handled. Stupid people say I’ve got ptsd because my dad yelled at me. No you have anxiety.
Everyone has ptsd now. Everyone. So all the ptsd people can listen and have empathy for all the over ptsd people. It is ridiculous. I am sick of ptsd. It was the real deal when soldiers came back from wars with ptsd - they went through bullets firing around them, often not knowing if they would see the morning, cold, wet hungry in ditches with rifles shivering and being ready to jump out of the ditch at any given time. Running for their lives. It was understood they would have re-occuring shock and many would not get over it. But now it's people shouting from the rooftops to anybody who'll listen they they have ptsd. I am so sick of it.
