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.

[@TributeMack2015AngryMack]

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. 😰

[@turletee]

Hi, I can't say things will for sure get better but just want to let you know you didn't deserve any of those things that happened to you. Hopeful life gets better for you!!

[@Gussigartner]

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

[@OhitzHurr.x_x]

I have C-ptsd and I totally understand what you mean . It’s a constant battle everyday that’s why when people ask me “ Why are you so loud or energetic?” Or “ Your drunk !” I tell them whenever I’m drunk or very happy LEAVE ME BE because I am rarely ever happy

[@777Rowen]

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.

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 🕊

[@sajadahanger8166]

[@nikosschoolofMentalHealth]

[@TruthTella314]

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.

[@TruthTella314]

I was diagnosed with PTSD as a teenager.

[@Datb2]

😢😢😢 you deserved better

[@AprilPettiford81]

That’s so sad 😢!!! I am sorry that you went through that. I’m praying for your healing!

[@S3113jshb]

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. 😢

[@dadsonahuntingtrip9400]

take him to therapy

[@ashleycamara7775]

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression , anxiety and illicit pill addiction . Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone . Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues . ⠀

[@oliviaadelaide2432]

Please does anyone know where I can get them ? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels , I would love to try shrooms

[@kimcamiliamingang1813]

​@@oliviaadelaide2432 I was having this constant , unbearable anxiety because of stress. Not until I also came across Dr.Mile a very intelligent mycologist. He came through for me with his knowledge on psychs.

[@AnjeloValeriano]

Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience

[@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.

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.

[@rumham7466]

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

[@georgecard121]

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

[@mariankasim-go8le]

Thanks

[@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.

[@lovefaith1794]

Another great video

[@RhesusMedicine]

Thank you for the continued support, really is appreciated! 🙂

[@lovefaith1794]

Honestly Your videos are the best around they help me explain things to my kids I enjoy reading them I’ve worked in the medical field for a large part of my life but I wish more videos were like this than the ones that are around this is great and I will be an avid supporter forever thank you for what you do here is fabulous

[@abbydavis3847]

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!)

[@0323chelsea]

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

[@ronaldhaugen5967]

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 ?

[@emmathompson6470]

Perhaps, get some councilling as a start and work from there

[@scottbrockman5883]

I have just watched this on KZbin for the first time today. Aside from having a speech disorder, I think I might have or have a higher chance of having PTSD, in this case both the 4th and 5th forms, Uncomplicated and Complex PTSD. I don't know why, but it's affecting my love life and why I'm STILL single and I don't have a wife or girlfriend or kids, even at 38 going on to 39 years old 🙂👍🤵‍♂️👰‍♂️👩‍❤️‍👨💒👫😘😍👧♀️♂️😡😭.

[@jl6086]

Childhood is everything! Products of environment its math

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

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.

[@BadKidNeziah-xt4cl]

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

[@Rickybobby6280]

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.

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

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

[@Bear-lb4qj]

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

[@skullhead8381]

life feels really bad 😥

[@reyysh]

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

[@annikakoski8199]

source?

[@WolfyloverAlyssa]

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

[@user-kv6lu3oh7o]

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

[@debbiequinlan1785]

how do you take revenge on a natural disaster please?

[@clickertante9852]

No. Revenge will only cause more trauma. This creates a vicious circle. One person has to start stopping this never ending cycle. Therapy can help, also the knowledge and understanding of the autonomic nervous system, co-regulation and learning to self-regulation, mindfulness and finally the acceptance of what has happened to you. Don't misunderstand that. Accepting does not mean that you agree. It just means that you can't change what happened in the past. But you can learn to deal with it in a healthy way.

[@raymondtorres9094]

So today I just woke up and found out my little brother got thrown out of his home and going to be homeless and having PTSD I'm on meds that make you more depressed but I didn't say and like I said I wake up lost a little and need some time to wake up and waking up to bad news suck knowing just now your little one bro lost his home and my mom started just started talking trash then her husband my brother real dad starts with just mumbling under his breath and then my mom says I'm not letting you brother move in cause he's tweaking and I got to deal with your stupid ass and I don't say nothing I'm in my room all day only get up and come out at night so I don't say are fight and clean wash dishes wipe the cupboard put things away the right way and like I said I gave them 3000 grand and got a warrant for my arrest lost my license and need to pay 500 hundred but they were happy when I gave them all my income taxes and now trying to figure things out just to get up and deal with them talking shit and I'm just trying to figure out what happened to my little brother cause my mom said my brother didn't pay rent from last November and I just saw him talking to his landlord this year and say all he needed to pay was 950 I think it was this year this is the problem I have getting tortures and having my head trauma I can't remember when I things Happened I seen are saw what seems like a month are days are really months ago are weeks so I'm lost and what seems like I was just in my room for a day are week is weeks are months I been in my room I don't talk to my family cause they just talk shit and I'm just waiting for a 30 day notice to cause I don't and won't come out of room with my PTSD and as I said why come out to hear them being negative and call me a stupid ass are retard and if I give them money I still got to live with being tortured and just all things that I think about along with my PTSD . This is definitely depressing and why I said I just woke up with my brother knocking on my door asking for a cellphone charger used the rest room brushed my teeth walk out the restroom and was like we're my brother go to them just talking shit about him and then me for know reason 😢🥺🙏😇🤐🤷😔😬😠😡🙄wish they understood having PTSD then my meds if I stop taking them I'll stay up for days cause of the night terrors I have sleeping of being tortured and when I take them I just want to sleep .

[@jaymoony9972]

Don't give up, whatever you can do, please get the space you need away from your family. You don't have to ex them out of your life, but being away from that toxicity will be so freeing for you. I know it's a struggle to get out, but you will be able to with persistence, and with healing to your wounds. I know it's not easy to heal in such an environment, but that give another reason to get away. Dont let people who are not willing to reason with you get you down in this world, there's so many of them. Manipulators will make you feel like it's your fault as a reaction to the disrespect they caused. I wish you the best of luck my friend, stay strong like a warrior, and wise as the dragon. 🐉⚔️

[@lf4231]

I wish you all the best in life. May God give you wisdom and strength so you can find away. I hope you find purpose, even if it means to just try and have a good day.

[@user-pl1ki3ok6g]

I'm a 27 years old man. My mind is in so much pain. Almost 4 months ago, in an extremely distressing and painful emotional situation, I hit my head against the headboard of my bed. Actually, that same day in the afternoon, I was with my girlfriend that I love so much. She always shared her talks with her other male coworkers and I was absolutely okay with that. I never showed any insecurity. Now almost 4 months ago, I was sitting with her in a resturant, and showed her the profile picture of my PhD female class fellow from whatsapp. And guess what? In a very disrespectful manner, she left the resturant immediately. That phd classmate of mine is married and has a daughter too. From afternoon till midnight, I kept on explaining to my girlfriend through whatsapp that my classmate is already married and I only talk to her in a very formal way. In the resturant, she had herself checked my messages and discovered nothing flirty or informal. I even sent my girlfriend the voice messages of that girl that the conversation was purely academic, related to phD classes. She did not listen at all and said extremely hurtful things. I don't know what happened to me that night, my girlfriend I loved so much not listening to me at all and showing apathy drove me insane and I smashed my head against the headboard of my bed in my room. Now I have a minor cut on my forehead. People can't really notice it but I so much wish it fades away over time. It has impacted my self esteem quite negatively. All the time, I am conscious of myself. Every morning I wake up and get scared by seeing myself in the mirror as it reminds me my disturbing situation. I repeatedly keep on asking myself questions like how could I do that to myself. But believe me, that moment was emotionally intensely suffocating and stressful for me. I wanted to scream alot to ease my pain that night but did not wish to disturb my parents. She used to tell me that men praise her beauty and I always showed no insecurity and laughed and told her that yes she deserves this appraisal. Don't know how could she show such mistrust while my conversation with my phd classmate was purely academic related to research work. Another important thing to mention here is that I have never ever checked the phone of my girlfriend till this very day. I always valued trust above everything.

[@sabrina1380m]

Leave her and focus on yourself
