Woman here. I experienced PTSD at the age of 19. I’m a survivor of sexual assault. I’ve been through a lot of therapy, and am doing much better now. You described exactly what me and so many others have gone and or are going through. Very informative video.

Growing up, I have been bullied, been verbally, and emotionally abused by a parent that has been lingering to this day. I had dated and was friends with a woman who turned out to be sociopath who inflicted the same abuse as I had when I was growing up. I no longer have nothing more to do with this woman, but my mother, who is in nursing care with dementia.

I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress when I was 24. I was raped when I was 16 and I thought I was over it but I never truly got over it.
I met my partner at 17 and I was so toxic he never really knew that I was suffering.
Thank you 🕊

I’ve been suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety disorder I have it severe I get startled very quickly by loud noises, people screaming, stumping feet, slamming doors, I’ve been traumatized from raped, from abused I often have flashbacks and nightmares I’m always afraid of things and people. 😰

[Gussigartner]

Empath with PTSD here. All those feelings from people around me are potential triggers. It’s hell.

[nikosschoolofMentalHealth]

This is a great topic to cover and help people to realize that the are not alone and that help is available for each one of us we need to be courageous and open up to someone we trust. Dont die alone.

I’m pretty sure my BF has PTSD. He’s traumatized from all the fighting and yelling his parents used to do when he was little. We got into a fight, I yelled at him. He’s not really talking to me or seeing me. It’s been a month. He goes hot & cold on me. How do I help him? When will he feel better? I’ve tried everything. 😢

I woke up this morning before I opened my eyes fully my brain was going through memory lane. Core memory of my mother back handing me in the face for writing in the wrong book for homework. I was 7 years old i was in the second grade, I remember the instant shock when she hit me, the sadness that came over me immediately. I ran out the door too fast before she can even catch me, I ran to my grandmas house downstairs, felt like I was running for my life. I remember getting there looking in the mirror blood running down my nose checking my lil teeth to see if they was loose. I was so hurt, for a moment i was proud of myself i did my homework on my own i wanted my mom to be proud of me too. She wasn’t she was upset cause i wrote in the wrong notebook. That shit hurt me so bad, Im 33 years old on Saturday. And ill never forget that, .. today I started my morning with that thought. I have a 6 year old who just started 1st grade, he so small, he a baby, I know kids get outta hand but I can’t imagine doing that to him.

I have PTSD and thank you for this video.

[rumham]

I’ve been recently diagnosed after finally reaching out for help. I’ve always been skeptical of antidepressants. Not sure if that’s my misunderstanding of them or what. But one was suggested along with the rest of the care plan. I’m willing to try it. Regardless of my fears. We’ll see how it goes. I just want to get back to some sense of “normalcy”. But while still retaining my regular virtuous good emotions lol

[georgecard]

I’m not diagnosed but both my therapists and social works have suggested that I have PTSD after being stabbed 8 time, I am going to get a diagnosis from a doctor soon

[gavinkerslake]

i've been plagued with tachycardia and high blood pressure for the last 6 years, but I've had PTSD symptoms since I was 18.

[lovefaith]

I love your videos. Thank you for what u do here

[karmatsheringtshomo]

Very well explained, thank you very much🙏

[nicholasdoan]

Apparently I've had PTSD most of my life but was only recently diagnosed with it .

[WolfyloverAlyssa]

warning: rape threats, punching, mental illness and sad stuff, etc.

story of why I’m here.

(warning, it’s a long story.)

me and my friends got threatened to be raped. my friend’s boyfriend tried to get the guy away from us. the bad guy got upset and called his cousin over. his cousin came over and punched my friend’s boyfriend (who also happened to be my friend as well.). All I remember is getting so stressed and somehow tearing up. after seeing the first punch be thrown me and my friend regained our strength and ran to get an adult. me and the girls in my friend group who got threatened went to the psychologist. We were all pretty traumatized from that and 4/5 of us were crying. our hands were shaking. They had a fidget bucket in that room, which was helpful since whenever I get really stressed, my fingers or feet need to be moving. After that I was still twitching a lot with my fingers and struggling to pay attention to my work. I came here since I still feel affected by it, thank you for this video.

Work and learning keeping mind busy is important

[Flyingtaco]

My husband has ptsd from combat. He will get triggered, have an extreme stress reaction, and then his head will be scrambled for a couple of days. It’s very debilitating.

[ronaldhaugen]

I served in military , in munitions and the extreme fear of explosion does this constitute ptsd, I have nightmare don't like loud noises and angry all the time I still can't be in one place to long, I'm confused and can't stop moving and a bunch more problems does this sound like PTSD ?
