One of the hardest parts of this condition, is grieving the before you, and watching your loved ones confused, and hurting over the ghost before them. The last 3 years of my life have truly felt like a lifetime. I personally had 7 major traumas impacting my safety between 19-22 ...

RIGHT...and anyone who really has CPTSD knows there's no healing, just coping. It NEVER goes away. Nothing feels good. Total chaos and constant detachment, and you're not supposed to be that way, always expected to get well or better. Never accepted. No one to relate to. Even if they are, you can't feel it. Hell. Constant Hell.

He went to sleep one night, and just never woke up the next. He had no health issues or nothing, healthy and happy, but yet he never woke up one morning. I sometimes wake up in the morning and wonder for what reason I was given life today..

I was violently beaten as a child, almost everyday (besides weekends), by a religious teacher who was supposed to be teaching me about religion and how to pray. This lasted between the age of 6/7 to 11. Then high school started, which was a total nightmare - daily bullying and getting hit and beaten up, being burned with bunsen burners during science class, very racial and homophobic abuse, and intense discrimination due to my weight (I became obese). I eventually lost weight during my 20's, but developed a body deformity (loose skin/gynecomastia). I was eventually diagnosed with depression, GAD, Panic disoder and PTSD, and recently experiencing symptoms of OCD. I also had agoraphobia at one point and didn't properly leave the house for years. I've never really recovered. I'm a totally damaged person, life has been a living hell. I've failed education, have difficulty working, am basically scared of everything and everyone, have made some stupid decisions and mistakes, and I'm just generally a total loser in life. I've now reached my 40's, I've had therapy on and off, and have been on medication - I still cannot cope and nothing seems to help. I can't seem to overcome the past beatings and bullying. It's traumatized me and the fear, feeling afraid, the flashbacks, are constantly with me every moment of every day and night. How can I overcome this?

[@GitanjaliSrinivasan]

There's many approaches you can take: top down or bottom up. Top down would include talking through it in talking therapy like cbt and bottom up is emdr and trauma focused yoga. There's also others that might help you like art therapy. Research these to see what would be best for you. On top of that learn about ptsd (look into cptsd) so you can understand yourself. There's lots of information online, even on KZbin on the symptoms of ptsd and how to deal with each of them. There's books you can get too. Join communities so you can interact with others like you. Understanding yourself will help you see where the problems are, so you will finally be able to apply what you learnt in some form of therapy. I also recommend learning about attachment types and ways to heal anxious, avoidant and disorganised attachment types. Abuse can cause you to develop some form of an insecure attachment style and that will really hinder you from having healthy relationships with others. There's so much to ptsd but there's also a lot of information online. It will be a struggle but one that you can definitely get through.

i just want to say this because i feel like you need to hear it, just because you’re in your 40’s doesn’t mean it’s too late.

[@TaijaT76]

Over excessive reliving the past through therapy can make things much worse so not all therapies are very useful, brains get easily stuck there. It is very hard to cope if you don’t have much positive memories in your life to rely on or your self image is very negative. Rewiring the brain towards more positive thoughts and focus on the present moment takes huge amount of time, more than you might have ever anticipated. Even partial recovery is worth it though, maybe never full recovery though. Partial recovery allows to enjoy at least some aspects of life so it is not complete hell you want to get rid of. Traditional therapy approach is very wrong to talk about your problems over and over again, Crappy Childhood Fairy has a great youtube channel about that.

[@nobodyimportant4778]

The hardest part is - unfortunately - other people. They don't want to talk. They can be your family or closest friends or about half of the therapists out there, but they don't want to hear about negative things. And they're not going to speak to you until you come to the unspoken agreement to never discuss your problems or how you feel. They want low maintenance. And personally I always assumed it was malice. After all, plenty of people have confided to me at length about how shitty life was going for them. Plenty have spammed my text messages. Some of whom are the same people that don't want to hear it from me. And i never felt even mildly inconvenienced by it. Didn't make a dent in my mood. Hell, I felt glad to be of some use. These days maybe I think most people just live under the delusion that bad things like abuse and death only happen to people they don't know. They only handle the existence of these things by thinking they happen to imaginary people. But damn, maybe when we say "friend" we're talking about two completely different things. To me, a friend is family you choose. If you couldn't live with them, they're not a friend. Maybe to some, a friend is a simple mutual entertainer.

[@oreokarail]

To me, a friend is someone who loves us and we love them, who cares about us and we care about them.

I got physically abused by my much older brother when I was a kid and he was an adult. I try to forgive him only because of my mum but I really find it hard to. And when I think of the things he did to me when I was a kid, it makes me never want to talk to him again and I will go like 6 months without calling him as we now live in different countries. What makes me more angry is not even him physically and mentally abusing me, what makes me more angry is our father did the exact samething to him. My brother knows exactly how it feels like so why do it to someone else who you claim to love? I suffer from this PTSS and I have noticed that I snap out at people alot.

I have PTSD from the amount of needless abuse, brutality, gas lighting and harassment I have experienced at the hands of the NHS due to having a severe, chronic health issue that requires major surgery. The NHS is as responsible for causing CPTSD, as they are for treating it, if you're lucky: totally unregulated public body. For shame.

[@Britdv]

I'm right there with you. Damn I hate the NHS - they've caused me more cptsd than I started with after I lost everyone & everything I loved. No therapy works for me & Residential Trauma Treatment was recommended 12 years ago by my private doctor when I lived overseas. I can't afford that - I've so much medical knowledge on CPTSD and I've done every therapy available that doesn't work for me. Useless NHS are intimidated by my knowledge - they refuse my Treatment funding despite their Trauma Consultant in a Facility in London saying NHS will make me worse without Residential Treatment that specializes in Trauma & Cptsd. I can't understand why they don't even listen to experts they employ and insist I do another year of talk therapy. I've decline as it don't work for me. I live in a state of constant Symptoms all day, everyday & now I'm physically getting sick. Untreated Cptsd just gets worse...NHS do not have Specialized Training in this area - they believe on therapy fixes everything. I'm worse having dealt with them for 6 yrs total than I was when I started. I'm not functional in any capacity yet they've no idea and I refuse to deal with them. I'm existing in HELL & ain't gonna survive much longer. My heart goes out to all of you with this Horrendous Condition. I pray we all get help we need 🙏 ❤

[@DespondentDoomer23]

Three guys attacked me in the middle of the night, knocked me off my bike and beat me. That was 5 years ago. My life is not the same anymore. At first I didn't even know that I had trauma because I had no symptoms for two years, but then they started and I live in stress every day, sometimes I meet these people and I freeze, when someone looks me in the eye I shake. My life is not the same anymore, they ruined my life and every day I think about taking my own life.

[@arielambrose2225]

I was raped in 2016 and my coping was to block it out and I became hyper ambitious and poured myself into fitness and work. It manifested in 2018 and I have never been able to accurately describe the level of destruction is caused and how my reality was completely changed…it makes me sick when I think of it, it’s been a very painful and turbulent journey since. I’ve had moments of getting back up and almost gaining success again (despite the flashbacks and intrusive thoughts being continually present) and then (as life always has misfortunes) some life event, grief or stress will trigger the symptoms and I become very quickly inept, unhinged, unrecognizable and this time has bene the worst. I lost my job and I have been so s*****dal it’s actually physically painful to to and battle it. I hope you find a support group…one of hardest part is the isolation if you don’t have any support snd knowing (like she says in the video) that often times that is they key to getting better…….

I have a diagnosis of a complex kind of ptsd amongst others. it's very, very painful and so difficult to find help.

The best help I found was watching some of Tania Windegger's youtube videos for those suffering with complex ptsd.

The most accurate description I've ever heard of PTSD.

[@betha8761]

I think I have a form of mild PTSD along with my grief. Three years ago my Mom died with me there with her for the whole thing. Happened very unexpectedly, suddenly and pretty quickly. From the time I got to her and she transitioned, it was maybe twenty minutes, then it was over. Did compressions on her while waiting for the paramedics even though I knew it wouldn’t do any good. The PTSD developed in the second year after her passing. I can get triggered when Im startled by something or feel I have no control. Example if one of my cats or my dog makes me trip up, or if a car pulls out in front of me. I go straight into rage. Not fun. I do sometimes get unexpected flashbacks of that early morning but not very often. Mostly I can be highly irritable, angry, raging, depression, grieving, etc. Ate my way and shopped my way through a lot of it, also it was during my country’s major political crap so I ate and shopped even more. I think I better contact someone and see if more can be done to help me. I’ve done a lot of work on myself, writing things out, talking things out, even just to the air, no one there. That helps. I’ve begun using CBD to see if I get any relief, I think it does. Just started so not totally sure. I try to be nice to myself and know that things can and will get better. It wears you out. Peace to all🕊

[@user-ew1pe1io6o]

“When it spreads, it pains less”. Try to think of how many people are looking at their parents dead bodies everyday, imagine what war must be like, and try to imagine the worst things that could happen to a person and you probably won’t be that far from reality. People die in gruesome ways. Others who are affected by that death would seek help. I found that religion helps personally because I think whatever happens in gods eye won’t go to waste and I would be rewarded for being patient but that all depends in your core believes which would deem this useless if you think religion is not right.

If you drink to relax and are worried about it, there are dealcoholized drinks. Wine, beer.. etc. They taste the same minus the burn, and by drinking them when you would drink alcohol, you can use these drinks to signal to your brain that now is relax time.

Short films about mental health, especially those focusing on trauma and PTSD, are a powerful medium for raising awareness and promoting understanding. These films can help individuals, like Dr. Tonmoy Sharma, a distinguished mental health specialist and author, and organizations like Sovereign Health, in their advocacy for those in need. Short films offer a concise yet impactful way to convey the challenges people face and the support they require. They can also serve as a valuable educational tool, reducing stigma and encouraging open discussions about mental health issues. By leveraging this creative approach alongside evidence-based therapies and compassionate care, individuals can be better equipped to address and overcome trauma and PTSD.

I'm 17 and idk if i have PTSD, but since my father died and had traumatic toxic relationship with my ex, who controled me and made much stressed, experienced 1 or 2 sexual assaults and it feels like you have a fault just bc you can't open urself and that's why i dislike myself and my body. A lot of things made my anger go up, get more anxious and less social. Since it happend my happiness just gone and my hope turned to despair, positive thoughts to negative, i cry more often and more often i feel depressed. Sometimes i make stupid decisions and mistakes just bc i'm afraid of what will happen. Also, i am in a happy relationship, but the problem is i overthink everything and think the worst that'll happen to us, always worry about him, always cry bc i don't love myself and i think i am nothing, so he will leave me.

Hey Lenny, I hope you’re well. Even if someone else didn’t see it, I felt called to remind you that you are inherently worthy and there is value in simply being yourself. 🫂❤️

[@treemcfarland2375]

I am confused as to where PTSD and C-PTSD differ. My traumatic events started when I was a baby, I was physically abused, near drowning event at 2yrs i was abandoned by my mother at 9 months, my father was abusive to his "wife's" they took it out on me. I witnessed animal abuse and deaths I was molested several times and was held captive. This all happened before I turned 18 So my question is... would you consider me to have PTSD or C-PTSD?

[@yourenough3]

PTSD is one event . You def would have CPTSD because it's numerous events.

[@coralfeatherstone7019]

PTSD and C-PTSD exist on a spectrum. The main difference is that C-PTSD is the point at which your PTSD has really eroded your sense of self. C-PTSD is normally from trauma in childhood at which point you hadn't fully formed your personality.

[@coralfeatherstone7019]

You can get normal PTSD after multiple similar events.

[@upendasana7857]

I'd say that just one of those events was enough to give you ptsd,early abandonment alone,never mind what sounds like ongoing abuse and molestation.Also trauma can be as much about what doesn't happen as well as what does so neglect also has effects.Any unmet needs and especially for safety and it sounds like your whole environment was unsafe.I strpngly recommend Gabor Mate for talking about effects of trauma..many yt talks

[@skylarashwell1357]

I dont like saying I have trauma or PTSD. A lot of the stuff thats happened to me have happened to my friends. I got pulled away from my best friend by my school because of age and i had a huge long talk to my teachers and parents and everything was so stressful and made me feel bad. But thats not as extreme as other people so i feel bad for saying its trauma...my counsellor said it was trauma, my friends said it was trauma but i dont belive it

Make sure the scene takes place when the person is in a happy environment and having a good time and then all of a sudden boom the anxiety kicks in un announced....that will show that we don't think it up and it comes and goes as it pleases making it a helpless feeling

[@Aasha383]

I think of it like some people get a key and they can unlock intrusive thoughts but they also come in whwn ur not paying attenition.

[@ioanasilvia1]

It is funny watching this video as it is proven to a certain extent that we all suffer from ptsd, it is on a spectrum. This explains why so few people are actually able to connect truly, to be empathetic and supportive, why so many people are addicted to social media or alcohol or shopping or anything else. Those are just attempts at avoiding the emotional flashbacks caused by the initial event, which is ptsd. If you show me a majority of people who live in the present or can actually connect or have truthful relations, I might believe that ptsd is an isolated diagnostic. Just look around and you will observe that everyone is all about coping mechanisms, even "positive" ones like sport. We are living in a traumatized society after WW1, we all have it. And it was passed down through our parents' fears which became our fears. It pains me that ptsd is portrayed like a diagnosis like this when jt is actually present in everyone to a certain extent. We just lost the ability to actually feel our emotions as we disconnected from our bodies long ago, so we then believe we dont have it, which is an illusion and leads to a shallow life with no self actualization or true happiness of the present moment.

[@alliemedico]

Wow you know I agree with this 100% I truly believe everyone in the world has some extent of it bc of how crazy things have gotten and continue to get

[@arianator4ever97]

i have ptsd from two different situations, one is from an abusive relationship i was in a few years ago and the other is recent, in june my bf and i are we’re having our cars worked on and just standing there talking to the mechanic when out of nowhere gun shots started firing off right on the opposite side of the fenced in property we were standing in, i froze for a moment from the shock and had to hide between two cars fearing for my life and my bf’s life on the phone with 911. all that could go they my head in that moment was “this person could easily walk right thru that gate and shoot us”. we made it out okay, i still don’t know what the shots were for tho as where i live there’s multiple shootings a day. but ever since that incident, sudden loud noises throw me into a weird panic feeling i can’t explain…on the 4th of july the fireworks weren’t fun at all. everytime they went off i jumped out my skin and couldn’t help the fear i felt, it’s embarrassing to me i feel ridiculous freaking out over fireworks but i literally can’t help it it’s like my body goes into a state i have no control over.

[@oppressednolonger1497]

I totally get you!! Pls dont feel stupid about it, even tho I know what you mean. I also had a mental illness I slowly got much better from, but it gave me a type of a trauma. I cant let go of the fact I had it, I feel a sence of doom and true fear when I have a particularly bad day and think it could be the illness coming back, I HATE, but from the bottom of my heart hate being in places, seeing the clothes for example, hearing some songs from the period when I had the worst parts od the illness. Were in this together 💕

[@peachaesthxtic23]

Has anyone even experienced something like you don't even feel like before, I mean before your psychological trauma.. or like your brain doesn't works like it did before anymore .. it's like your brain is kinda drained from stress n all.. and you just can't be your old self again.. and like you have lost it forever? Has someone even felt like you have lost your own self identity and now find it awkward to be with yourself all alone .. even though you really enjoyed with being with yourself a lot before all these happened? Does it feel you have lost some skills and abilities you had before all these happened?.... Okay so I suffered from TB and anemia.. and it caused me to literally look like a skeleton.. I had tons of symptoms along with coughing up blood.. n extremely tiredness to the point that i couldn't even stand for a few secs... But the fact that it was tb really shocked me... And when I coughed up a pool of blood that most probably traumatized me and I became extremely quiet after that.. I was 13 back then.. and the image of looking myself in the mirror and the fact that I couldn't even recognise and accept that it was me only, really traumatized me.. after that the tb meds caused me a lot of other bad symptoms and depression and anxiety.. in the course of time I didn't even realised when I lost that self I was before all this happened.. 2 years have almost passed and I think I have recovered that traumatizing phase now.. but I feel like my life feels empty now.. most probably because my brain just feels empty.. I feel empty.. but at the same time I don't think I have depression and I just feel my life has dried up... I'm really confused and I don't know how to get back to normal now..? Can anyone please suggest anything to me ..?🙏 It would be of great help

what ptsd have treatment with antipsikotik?

[@AhmedABD0077]

So it is like a daydreaming ? Cuz I have this constant day dreaming thing that I relive these situations that I hate som much and the reaction that happens to my body is pain in my chest and Increase in heart rate and other Uncomfortable feelings iand it happens alot plus I have adhd so I daydream alot so is it just me daydreaming alot or that is a truma ? Or ptsd ? Iam really confused and I have avoided that place and those people completly ، What happens is that my body suddenly reacts as if I relived the extremely embarrassing moment all over again. This led me to explore the post-traumatic effect. As I mentioned, this happens frequently. Yes, over time it has lessened, but curiosity prompted me to write this comment.

[@willj7628]

If this is correct I might as well say that at 50 yrs old I’m going to spend the next 50 yrs reliving what’s already happened? I’ll give that a miss thanks. After 3 months intensive counciling 7 days a week living with a nurse i often wish it never happened. It along with meds from doctors caused a violent mental breakdown! Now I suffer flashbacks n thoughts I never even want to remember daily. Never again will I trust anyone especially a medical worker or councillor. Funny how yes I was/ am deeprest but before counciling n tablets I had a clean slate now I’ve got a list off mental issues n a criminal record as long as your arm no job n no help n no proper home. And a daughter who is now suffering because she’s scared of her own loving dad. That’s the downside of taking help!!!!!

Is it posible that I have PTSD because my mum had cancer 2 times and I yused to cry every day, someone pls answer

[@coralfeatherstone7019]

It is possible, but only a health provider can tell you for sure. May I kindly suggest that you try to find some therapy. You probably need it anyway after going through something like that. Therapy could help with dealing with what happened, and teach you coping strategies. I hope your mum is ok now.

i have ptsd from smoking marijuana it gave me a really bad trip, i passed out many times, i hated the feeling nd every since then my vision has been off, it causes me stress which leads to pins nd needles nd it really causes discomfort. i’m always on guard if i feel a slight feeling of me being “high” i freak out nd start breathing hard nd stuff. i hate it. i have trouble sleeping, always staring off, don’t always wanna do stuff it’s horrible i jus want to be normal.
