Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - causes, symptoms, treatment & pathology

[@bluebunny638]

It annoys me slightly how PTSD is only really associated with military or assault. I was diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 13 after years of bullying. It doesn’t just occur in veterans or assault survivors

[@DoowopLover]

PTSD can be caused by experiencing traumatic events. I'm a Vietnam Veteran, and my case of PTSD is considered to be moderate and chronic. The chronic part means it will never go away. I experienced severe depression and acute anxiety when I was in my early 20s. Nightmares, flashbacks, and intrusive thoughts. My attitude was that I thought I was the toughest guy in the world, and I don't need anyone's help. I'll deal with this on my own. After 30 years, I finally went to the VA and asked for help. I received therapy and medication for PTSD, and it did seem to help somewhat. My only regret is that I wish I had done this sooner. It's been 50 years since I returned home from Vietnam, and I don't think about Vietnam much anymore. Along with the medication, I have learned to manage the symptoms of PTSD better than when I was younger. I can still become anxious at times, but I haven't felt depressed for several years. I rarely have nightmares, and I haven't had a flashback for awhile. My quality of life has improved dramatically. Time has a way of healing to a certain extent. My memories of those awful events I saw happen have faded, and I'm not being tormented by those experiences anymore. I may remember something happening, but I can't "see" the event anymore. Don't ever allow anyone to tell you that you are a wimp for admitting you have some kind of problem. It takes courage to deal with some kind of problem you are having. I have a magnetic refrigerator sticker that the VA gave to me, and it states: It takes the courage and strength of a warrior to ask for help. Don't try to be the Lone Ranger. Asking for help is the first step on the road to your recovery.

[@carinfreimond8080]

You're so right! It takes a lot of courage to deal with the issues caused by PTSD, and asking for help is SO important.

I've been diagnosed with PTSD caused bye the sudden death of my mother when I was 18. I can't seem to find a lot of videos talking about developing PTSD from the sudden loss of a loved one. I don't really bring up my diagnosis that much because I feel a bit ashamed, because of the fact that it's considered just a disorder of people that have been to war in general society. I'm glad that slowly more people are starting to understand that is much broader than that. And no matter the cause, no one should feel shameful.

I thought it would feel better after they divorced but its gone worse. I'm 47 now and I knew something was wrong with me throughout my life. I take paxil and it takes the edge off but I keep having bad memories. It sucks to live this way. I wanted to commit suicide when I was 19. I shake when I see people arguing, fighting. And I feel guilty all the time. I feel for people who have mental issues. I feel like my life has been robbed. God bless all of u.❤

Okay I don’t think it’s okay if I say I relate to this but I do. I love my parents and they love each over, but when they fight it’s bad. When I’m in the shower or in a different room and anyone talks I start stressing out. I have this feeling that everything is wrong so I get out and try to fix the situation. And most of the time it’s just them talking about a movie or something. I think I have PTSD and hopefully I won’t delete this comment because I always do. I don’t want to tell my parents about me having PTSD cause I also have mild health anxiety but it’s never about mental health. I’m also twelve so if I tell anyone it will be bad.

[@grey5432]

is it considered trauma or just a bad memory? -when i was around 6-7, my family travelled to Hawaii. And on one day, I don’t remember which, me and my mom were chilling on the beach, me playing with sand. She said she’d be going for a swim and will be back in 20 minutes. I had no patience and so once I was bored of making my sand castles, and time had seemed to pass. I went on my surfing board and swam to where one other woman was, whomst I asked where my mother was. The woman said she saw my mother, but took me back to shore saying that it was too dangerous for me. There we heard a siren, and the woman asked me where my dad was (he didn’t like the ocean) and then we went to him. My dad went to go investigate the ambulance siren, and the woman brought me to her husband for me to be safe while my dad was gone. We found out my mother was in the ambulance, and she had drowned. We rushed to the hospital, and the doctors said we wouldn’t be able to see her for a few days (my sister and I) because it was too graphic for us. It’s been 3 years now. My mom is in a vegetative state and I miss her. I don’t dream much but I do think about her a lot. ((English isn’t my first language, sorry!)

(happened when i was 4-5, i think?) currently my mental state isn’t doing well, i forget everything, i have tendencies of self harm, (relapsing) i constantly cry whenever the topic of anything related to my parents are brought up and people in my grade have been spreading rumors about my mother. i’m constantly reminded of my mother, and no matter how much i try i compare myself to how my mother would want me. my dad is has a girlfriend now, and doesn’t care about me anymore. i’m home alone all the time. -sorry for the long rant, i just want to find something to fix myself.

A lot of things can happen to someone with PTSD, with ongoing organized gang stalking and bullying aimed at me, my nervous system will act completely differently very often. Fear of these monsters has at times softened me, at times made me even more cautious for sure, at times my nervous system will react by being more intense when talking or discussing things. Every time my highly sensitive nervous system reacts to the harassment of monsters they will quickly develop new harassment scenarios and create even more lies about who I am and how I am.

I've never understood how exposure therapy would work with someone who has survived assault or other violent crime and had the trauma made worse when being unable to access help from authorities like law enforcement I mean how would that even work?

[@PridefulShadow]

The exposure therapy is more focused on breaking associations with places/types of people for these folks. For example, if someone was assaulted in a parking garage and is debilitatingly scared of parking garages from then on, exposure therapy would focus on helping them desensitize and eventually break the association of parking garages with their assault.

It hurt a lot, and I remember I couldn't tell which way was up or down. Luckily I had a life vest but whenever I think about this I start crying and get a panic attack. I get flashbacks now every time I go near water, even the shower. It got so bad that I tried to drown myself... another one I have is from my parents. They fought ever since I was 4. Me and my brother would hide at the top of the stairs, and watch them fight. It started out as yelling, to phisical contact. Whenever someone yells I always get flashbacks of them throwing plates at eachother, and smacking eeachother. My dad used to chase me, and hit me several times when I was 5, causing me to get bad ptsd. Now whenever people hit me, or yell I get flashbacks of that. It got to the point where I self harmed, and tried to hang myself in the bathroom. It also gave me terrible anger issues.

I hope he understands now because all while I was pregnant with my only child he treated me like I was worthless the best thing that's ever happened to me was ruined everyday but im so thankful that my baby is healthy and happy and I pray everyday that he doesn't grow up knowing what I went through. Sleepless nights crying every night to tire myself out, not eating properly, putting on a blank face so others wouldn't know what I was going through was hell. But finally opening up to him and letting him know I've been struggling silently with ptsd was hard and still is hard. But I don't blame anyone but myself for letting it control me and the triggers im still learning them.

I have ptsd from seeing my mom's lifeless body after seeing her slowly dying in the icu unconscious for over a month

[@ninjagoldhead7211]

That's sad

I'm so incredibly sorry to hear that. Have you found support?

@@thedeadend5621 I'm glad to hear that. It's amazing how soothing animals can be. I'm going to be making some videos soon about strategies that people can use to manage PTSD symptoms. I invite you to subscribe to my channel so that you'll see when I release those. I hope to make useful content for everyone struggling with PTSD!

my mom was also in a coma and i watched her die too. sometimes, certain scents scare the f*ck out of me bc it triggers me to have flashbacks from that day. i even have nightmares about her, only to see her die again in my dreams. i hope you get better and i'm so sorry for your loss !!!

[@AllyKat017]

hi, great video, question : how long does it take before ptsd can be considered chronic ? Thanks :)

[@staceyford5368]

Alice Persad 3 months

[@carinfreimond8080]

If it's been longer than 3 months, then you can be considered to have PTSD. Are you struggling with this? Do you have any support?

@@carinfreimond8080 I have been struggling from this from last 1 year or more But my situations and environment r the same As for now I have learnt how to control my mind by meditation. Later now I will go for medication

Curious that no mention is made about MDMA adjunct therapy. Research from the 70s and 80s, as well as current Stage I and I FDA trials, show exceptional efficacy in treating PTSD in treatment resistant cases.

[@ChaoticAphrodite]

.. Stage I and II FDA trials...

[@osmosis]

Hi Geneviève, our videos focus on well-known scientific facts. We don't usually cover content that is currently under research.

[@wasabee8228]

Well I can tell you one thing, trying MDMA therapy in order to treat PTSD doesn't work at all. It fucks up your brain even more and reboots the signals in your brain that take care of your emotions and feelings, but not in a good way. I myself had trouble w/ it for years in order to get my mood in check but it didn't really work out for me. I am still stuck with pretty severe PTSD which affects almost every aspect in my life. After trying the therapy I also developed a chronic mood disorder, IBS, irregular sleeping and a lowered immune-system.. Which gets me all bruised up when I don't even bump into anything at all.

[@carinfreimond8080]

I've heard this too but haven't done any research into this yet. Did you ever try it? Or did you ever try anything else to manage PTSD symptoms?

[@nevermindidk-l5n]

this is very simple yet informative and helpful!

[@osmosis]

Glad you think so! 🥰🥰🥰

[@districtline]

Thank you for this; I am trying to learn more about it. I resigned from my job of 11 years because of a "bullying" boss. That was 10 months ago and I can't seem to get over it. It's good to get some facts.

We're glad that we are able to help, Julie. 🙏🏼

[@btsfan7531]

What if Ptsd isn't treated and feels to fade away with time? Does that mean that it is going away? Or is it just staying in the back of the brain?

[@patriciawalker851]

Try some shroom, Shrooms, you see, are not just a bit of psychedelic fun, they can actually cure depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mental health issues in general are notoriously hard to treat, so why not try psychedelics and see if they worked?...they can help you If you don't mind,you can link up with my plug myco_logan1 on Instagram about how shrooms works on depression and anxiety....

[@marknorris1381]

Just because someone has symptoms doesn't mean they will have them for the rest of their lives. The majority of people make a full recovery from the effects of experiencing some sort of traumatic event.

I was diagnosed with this, it came from being in cults that bullied and harassed me until I finally left them, I still can get stressed out today and have disturbing 💭 thoughts from time to time, especially at random times.

I'm 16. I always felt like I was depressed and had suicidal thoughts for a long time without any big reason. I've had a good family and normal childhood without bullying. My younger brother's birth however made me feel all the attention I had was gone. Thus was when I was 5 years old. Since then, I remember craving for love even though I have it. My friends became my world and I loved one a lot. She promised to help me get over my insecurities and be with me but I soon realized she was habitual of lying. Her lies increased, so did my pain and feelings of inferiority. I was manipulated into thinking it was all my fault. I started self harm and had suicidal thoughts. Eventually, she left me in a dark spot, for another friend because apparently she was tired of me. Our entire class knew about these things and her being the popular girl she was, made her an angel in most eyes. All the friends that I had left as they preferred supporting her without even knowing the whole story. I was bullied by her new friend (whom I once opened up to and she mocked me and backbitched, telling all my feelings to her social circle). Although I have new friends now and I'm better, it's very hard for me to go to school and not feel emotionally drained in their presence. I still get nightmares of her leaving me and me being laughed at. I sleep for 12+hours and always feel isolated and fear being betrayed again. I always loved darkness but now I feel like someone will hurt me. I sometimes have sleep paralysis too. I'm fine but I get sudden breakdowns at night sometimes as I cry myself to sleep, stoll questioning if I was wrong or not. It might seem like a small reason to feel so bad but for me, she was my entire world. The definition of love. It's been 2 years since things ended between us but I'm still traumatized. Is it possible that I have ptsd?

Hello, I’m not a psychologist by any means. But i struggle with anxious attachment and I have “abandonment wounds”. Those topics might be good for you to read about to help understand why you might be feeling the way you are feeling. I hope you have found peace 🌷
