Hey guys, PTSD is not just a disorder, it’s a brotherhood and sisterhood, hang in there my brothers and sisters 👯‍♀️. We’re in this together!

It doesn't matter how much I talk about it, i just can't communicate how bad it actually was. No one seems to understand beyond just a surface level. The only people who seem to be able to validate it are others who have experienced different truama. If they have experienced the same trauma then I don't want to talk to them, as it brings it up to the surface too much. I get along best with people that have experienced trauma that is very different from the shit I have experienced, as we can validate each other without triggering panic responses.

DBT therapy saved my life. It helps me deal with my Complex PTSD symptoms. I owe my life to my therapists and my support system

I am starting to freak out and get a little scared watching this

I currently have ptsd
I was recently diagnosed a few months ago. Honestly I hate how 1 night changed my life, and worst of all everyone blamed me. My bestfriend was murdered in front of me, while I was almost murdered myself. It still hurts, and I honestly don’t know what to do. Therapy was horrible, medicine didn’t help, and I’ve seen the worst version of myself. The only positive is my family and friends being a big support in these times, but I know I need more. I feel as time goes on just going through with life my condition will get worse, and I will be unable to do a lot of things I’ve dreamed of due to my trauma. I hate this

I lost my son and wife, after that it is a journey of avoiding anything and everything , I live in a constant state of fear, a backfire from a car will drive I spike down my back, I still sleep with one open

[nesharjones]

Just got diagnosed with Complex PTSD and mild depression and it gave me more understanding about myself. I sometimes feel like I’m too emotional since I either have anger management problems or I completely isolate myself and just cry to sleep. And either I’m too much or i’m never enough. I struggle daily with anxiety and experience a lot of flashbacks. I tremble and experience palpitations when I see similar looking people from the past and start to have physical symptoms to avoid certain situations. And more… Now, I’m just looking more into what PTSD is and how I can manage it. I’m really glad that I have decided to seek help. To everyone, there is nothing wrong to ask for help and stay brave and strong ❤

Omg, I never new what I have until I watched this. This is insane. I've had this for years.

I’ve had PTSD for 13 years. The medications I’ve been taking aren’t curing me.

[tiffytoo]

I was shot in a drive by shooting and there were many other traumas. Including rape violent attacks my parents messed around with gang members. I have hated myself so bad because of PTSD. I want help but anything I've tried hasn't helped. I'm so so so so hurt I just want to be ok. PTSD needs studied so much more. Ask the actual patients what they are experiencing and find what's the common thing in all of us.

Im trying to get help with it... The world is scary as hell

[ianfortuna]

One of the guys I work with is former MP and was deployed 4 times over seas to Afghanistan and Iraq (2 tours per country) he’s not very old either he’s in his mid 30’s, so every time he wants to talk about it I always make it a point of listening just sitting down and hearing what he has to say just to get it off his chest the smallest thing like this can be the difference between him living and him thinking of ending it all, the latter is the last thing I want for him. Veterans are my conquering hero’s and I treat them accordingly

[jayjay]

I suffer from complex PTSD due to ongoing abuse by the government

[lauramantis]

Why did it took until Im 27 that someone really diagnosed me rightly after all doctors only diagnosed the symptoms, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and on and on
I really hope I will feel normal some day and have my son a better childhood
