Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Explained

the fact that
1. I’m a F
2. I had (still have) pre-existing mental health conditions
3. I had a lack of social support
4. The stressful moment was with an assault (not sexual) and included threats of rape.

uh oh

I'm 32 undiagnosed, pretty sure I have CPTSD, Im suffering my family's suffering, I'm always snappy and wanting to be alone. I feel alone and have no supports can't even get a proper diagnosis cause the healthcare here is laughable. I hate myself and how am I don't want my kids to have to survive their childhood cause I had to survive mine

I have PTSD and thank you for this video.

so basically its deteriorate mitochondria and over active pituitary axis gaba ?
whats so special about cbt ? 60-80% is a hefty pedestal.

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

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

THANK FOR EXCELLENT EXPLANATION
ACUTE STRESS DISORDER
SYMPTOMS,
SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION ,
I AGREE THANK

Your not respecting human rights so I'm gonna report you for psychological abuse and physical abuse I am going to that university to prove our government is so sick and savage you'll use energy weapons on people's homes the one place they supposed to be safe but you don't respect that you only respect the rich and rotten such as yourselves.

Childhood is everything! Products of environment its math

Work and learning keeping mind busy is important

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

I was robbed hit with the blunt end of ax suffered skull fracture to right temporal lobe got vertigo epilepsy hearing loss facial paralysis tinnitus and PTSD from this blow

source?

Would this include a fear of food? Say if you got very sick after eating and then refused to eat food for a long time due to fear of eating at all. Even when over it if you see that certain food freaking out when you see it/getting flashbacks of it? (Sorry if I explained that weird!)

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 ?

I fit the criterea to be diagnosed with ptsd- what do i do-?

I want to die.
I pray to die.
I loathe being alive.
The man whom I revered
as my best friend,
ended up raping my soul.
God has forsaken me.
All 44 years of my life, so far,
have just been suffering.
I wish to die.
I'm in hell with no escape.
I can no longer bear the suffering.

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.

Do you agree with me that PTSD can be cured totally and completely ONLY by the revenge?

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

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 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.

way to use big words nobody knows and then not explain them. idiot

If yo Ass Scream at me you gettin ptsd

I don't believe that I'm not going to recover from this

I've been through so much trauma 😢 me being raped at the age of 4. My mom and her ex husband use to do meth when I was a kid. I would hear him abusing her. I have grandmal hedetopia. I was also raped again when I was a teenager. I use to also have schizophrenia. It just goes on

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. 😰

I rather be dead

When you’re a child and the man who gave you life and is supposed to provide and protect you throws you down wood stairs or puts you through walls while mom just stands there and does nothing or you get screamed at and won’t stop until you cry, you don’t get support at school, and friends die and loved ones leave, then you develop a habit of hurting animals, your brain just changes. Self medication and violence are the only coping mechanisms people like me grew up with.

My ptsd , I didn't relize I had it. It was months after getting home. . There was a cat fight outside of my house. I took of running 🏃‍♀️ smashed through a window. I had no clue, when the cops got there,I was tackeld, handcuffs put on me and I was off in an ambulance.

I think the personality disorders that go along with it are harder to deal with.

I got ptsd from. Ptsd. Sucks

i have all the symptoms 😂😂😂😂

life feels really bad 😥

I don't any my relatives my relatives stay in my house while I grab a kitchen knife and I kicked them out of my house that my post tramatic stress disorder

I have medical trauma and believe o have PTSD from this. Though the cause of this is from another disorder so I can’t get diagnosed even though this is exactly how I feel

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.

i am broken

One of my friends (Elijah) has PTSD, He has symptoms of it and I was so confused about what is he saying under his breath

It's not a mental health condition, stop labeling people... it's a normal reaction to stressful event... your body reaction to it is not your fault!

My ptsd turns me into a Karen sometimes
Just won’t allow myself to be a victim of anything

I have PTSD from 2 traumatic events, 4 months apart from each other. 2 sudden losses💔💔I stuggle the most with the intrusive thoughts, that's been the hardest part of the ptsd.

HEY GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY I JUST WANTED TO STOP BY TO SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING THIS MORNING, I CAN RELATE 💯 PERCENT TO THIS TOPIC, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PTSD OVER 5 YEARS NOW, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT'S VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH ON A DAYLY BASIS, I DON'T LIKE TO BE AROUND BIG CROWDS OF PEOPLE , I LOVE YOU ALL, TEE, OG NEED LOVE TO,PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS TEE, O.G NEED LOVE,💯🙏💪💙✌️🤪

I think I may be dealing with symptoms of PTSD.

I’m 17 now and i think i have PTSD, when i was 13 a person i used to admired was accused to something cruel, and it changed my brain in somewhat, because of that and she shock i became depressed, i started to cry suddenly, i overslept, and my mom noticed that then we went to a doctor and i was diagnosed with depression, i had to take many medications at age 13, i was just a kid, so of course my behaviours changed, i actually became more depressed with suicide thoughts, and i think because of my depressed behaviour i lost my friends because i scared them perhaps :( and it made me more depressed. Now i feel dead since 2020, i feel empty, and everything of 2019/2020, a song, a place i used to visit, everytime i listen or vist those places my heart starts to hurt a lot like i’m about to have a heart attack, i cry uncontrollably. In 2022 i used to have flashbacks of 2020s

Apparently my whole life is a PTSD nightmare I've got used to... Bless the gym for keeping me sane through all those years. I feel like a corpse just existing with no purpose, the only thing left for me is lifting heavy. If i lose that it's game over.

Praying
For u ♥️🙏🙏

You forgot the part about extremely violent thoughts and emotions

I'm a 33 year old male, and was a childhood victim of constant sexual abuse by my mom's husband. We were on America's most wanted when I was 14. I've been diagnosed with CPTSD, and when I get really upset I lose my ability to speak at all for several hours. I have 7 siblings and none of us speak to each other bc of how damaged we are. I feel like I'll never heal from it.
