PTSD

Post traumatic stress disorder

When you hear this title you often think about veterans

WHICH is true BUT

It’s more than just that.

PTSD happens in the brain when someone experiences extreme trauma

Personally i’ve struggled with this for over a year due to my attack, It was one of the most bizzare things to experience

Although I am pretty used to it now.

Flashbacks leaving you in a frozen trance, dissociation when you fall too deep in the hole.

It also makes you feel like you’re in that same situation even if

You’re simply sitting with some friends.

Even the smallest of things can trigger a panic state for people with PTSD

An estimated 70 percent of adults in the United States have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lives and up to 20 percent of these people go on to develop post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.

An estimated 5 percent of Americans—more than 13 million people—have PTSD at any given time.

Approximately 8 percent of all adults—1 of 13 people in this country—will develop PTSD during their lifetime.

An estimated 1 out of 10 women will get PTSD at some time in their lives. Women are about twice as likely as men to develop PTSD.

A lot of PTSD victims

Avoid the “anniversary” date of their experiences, or any reminders of it.

Their always on guards, never truly focused, and easily irritated.

People with PTSD may have trouble starting friendships or being in romantic relationships.

They may have low self-esteems

Ptsd can cause the human body physical pain and issues as well.

Its something truly hard to deal with, and in my opinion getting help is super worth it.
