PTSD Survivor interview-Scott

[@khalilahd.]

This is just proof that generational trauma is so real and I’m proud of him for trying to break that cycle. Surviving such a horrific childhood and watching your cousin do that to his family and children is unimaginable. The fact that he’s doing so well is a miracle. I wish him continued healing 💛🙏🏽

[@payattention7990]

This I by far the best description of how my childhood went and how it affects me as an adult. The abuse details differentiate but the results are one in the same. Reclusive, fogged thoughts, short term relationships and jobs. Scott is much further in eloquently describing his experiences and his attempts to curb their affect in his life and I’m able to right now. I’ll be coming back to this interview like it’s a new album from a favorite artist I’m tuned Into or something. I damn near want to play this to everyone I’ve ever tried to explain myself and the affects of my experiences to and say this is it. Thanks Scott. Thanks bro. Thank you.

Thank you for doing this. He hit every point in being a trauma survivor. I’ve been struggling a lot with my PTSD and it’s what I needed to hear, especially not being war related.

[@2vcrew782]

People always relate PTSD to combat vets. And it’s very prevalent in the military. But I was diagnosed with PTSD years after I lost a parent in a traumatic way when I was 8 years old. I never thought or knew what I was doing and experiencing was PTSD from that incident until a doctor told me. Still working through it everyday. The worst is the bursts of anger. I never physically lose it. Just get very angry, even when I’m alone around no one.

[@joannorona8334]

Yup I got PTSD anxiety and depression from watching my dad die in front of me, I knew right away something was wrong with me, I was afraid to go to sleep and had my boys come sleep in my room, they were little they thought it was a sleepover in moms room, the meds helped wonders and therapy also, but it never leaves you just learn to cope with it and feel your feeling and know that they will pass…💜

[@phuckyocouch9098]

I was just diagnosed with PTSD about a month ago that I was in denial about for years. I'm not sure what to do about it. I just started seeing a psychiatrist a month ago and went full panic attack on the floor as a result of my conversation with him at the time I was diagnosed and now have canceled my second visit because I can't handle another episode like that and I didn't like the meds he gave me so I stopped taking them. I was hoping this video would help and I think it did. Idk. Good luck to you all. I wouldn't wish this hell on anyone and hope you all the best.

[@simonl4523]

Part of me feels that not (thankfully!) having the abuse / torture he had to endure changes everything about how I can properly empathise.

[@chasecarter1170]

The same energy the birthed you birthed him birthed me and will birth many more of us. We all come from the same thing, fuck a last name. Fuck separation. Fuck divisiveness. None of that stuff is the truth. Truth is, we all are born of the same cloth, built for the same purpose. Love. Without love life isn't there, meer existence isn't life. Life starts when we start with our own piece, our own love and we work our way outwards from there. Build on it and add to it and let it change and grow. I don't see ethnicities or family names etc . The higher power asked of it's servant, it said "what are you?" , To which the servant replied, "when I DONT know who I am, I serve you. When I KNOW who I am, I AM you." I only see myself looking at this man and anyone else no matter their story. If we were to each hold a mirror facing one another, we will see nothing but ourselves when looking at one another.

@vjc25 Heart wrenching to hear that anybody gets abused, especially children. triggers me big time. I hope you have or are currently working on healing. It's a daily struggle for me, even with God. I know 2 things for certain, 1) without me knowing God, I'd be in prison or dead. 2) I know God can heal the worst of wounds that stem from very unspeakable horrific abuse. I will pray you experience this, if you already haven't. Thank you for your comment, it is very appreciated. God Bless You..

Scott -a modern hero who pits himself against his inner demons. Scott gives an in-depth look at PTSD, the causes, the symptoms, and the struggle with it. Luckily, Scott not only had the strength to run, but to seek help. Scott touches my heart for he is a wanderer on the path to healing and forgiveness. I wish Scott a loved one who will bivouack with him in his loneliness and fill his heart with love.

[@notavailable7899]

Scott is a good friend of many years, as was his cousin who killed his family and himself. I will say this about Scott. He has a kindness and caring nature that not one in ten people embodies. When we were young and finding our way in life, Scott always asked deep questions about what we, his friends, thought and felt about relationships. We would tease him because we were in nihilist mode and took the "don't give a fuck" pose. Well, Scott did care, still does care, about what other people think. His is a soul of warmth and even if he finds himself alone for a time or I haven't heard from him in ages, I know that one day I will answer the phone and find that warmth and care still intact. This interview really captures the genuine Scott bearing his soul. He is a seeker and student of life and we can all learn from him. Stay strong, brother! 252 forever.

I revisit this a lot. He melted me to tears with his holy spirit idea

[@ScottBellar]

@Imsickofallyallseeingmyname Amen! The greatest teacher ever is The Holy Spirit! God Bless you!

[@CourtofOil]

His words at 18 mins in hit me hard just now. "The only thing that really matters is what you're doing to someone's soul.... " absolutely beautiful man 😢. Thank you for sharing your story and perspective, Scott. ❤

[@ScottBellar]

I got heavily triggered 3 days ago. Been bummed out. Reading this comment is perfect timing. Thank you for the medicine I need right now in your kind words. Gob bless you.

[@CourtofOil]

@ScottBellar Bless you too buddy ❤️ thank you 💙 🙏 I wish you all the best healing and peace on your journey. Thank you for making me smile in these dark times too and being a force of good in this universe, and I'm glad to bring a smile to your face. You have a beautiful, peaceful, intelligent warrior spirit about you, and I know you will survive and thrive through everything. Stay strong buddy.

[@ScottBellar]

@@CourtofOil thank you. I can barely get out of bed the last couple days, this kindness helps. I just discovered Tim Fletcher. Google him if you haven't heard about him. His interview with Theo Von was mind blowing.

[@JasonDask]

I wanna give this guy a hug, what a profound speech

[@jennymcbain486]

It is great. Giving back gives you a reason to get up in the morning. Good man. ❤️‍🔥

[@TenWilder0]

When he said he escapes into sleep that hit me hard. I'm terrified of sleep because in my dreams my trauma still lives. I lie awake most nights just hoping I won't dream.

[@Jim_McFarland]

I definitely admire how much this guy admits to everything so honestly. Even made me laugh only because he caught me off guard, not about his situation but simply never hear anyone that open . Awesome and inspiring

[@purplevolution]

Scott, thank you for sharing your story. I respect you deeply for breaking your family’s cycle of abuse. You have helped to transform our world into a better place.

[@ablahday2558]

Moral of the story is LOVE YOUR BABIES So many of these stories on here could be prevented by love...giving it,being itand so on. Children are a blessing and should be treated as such!

[@sweetsugarjones]

I’m sorry to say that neither love or babies are the cure for mental illness or for addiction, just like they aren’t for a physical illness. These stories are not that simplistic, not one size fits all, and it’s not effective to shame those caught in the cycle. It’s first and foremost an issue of psychology; mental illness doesn’t recognize morality. Having a child is a huge, life changing emotional and financial responsibility that not everyone is stable enough to handle.

[@BayOctopus]

Thank you for sharing your life experience Scott, you are such a gentle, intelligent and kind person. My heart goes out to you. I wish you healing and finding your way to fulfilling your purpose.

[@ScottBellar]

you are welcome! your comment means a lot !

[@valerieejohnson3]

Scott, please NEVER stop sharing your outstanding story. It's the best story I've ever watched on S.W.U. PRAISE AND GRATITUDE FOR YOUR COURAGE TO SOLDIER ON AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SHARE TO ONE AND ALL YOUR LIFE STORY AND EVEN MORESO YOUR STORY OF YOUR SPIRITUAL SURRENDER TO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER. MAY THE GOOD LORD ABUNDANTLY BLESS YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY....AND EVEN MOMENT BY MOMENT AS WELL!!!

[@ScottBellar]

@valerieejohnson3 AMEN! Thank you for these words. I'm blown away by them. I am just a heathen though, ALL glory goes to God. His Holy Spirit was speaking through me. May our awesome father bless you daily as well. Agape love!

[@clairebradford1736]

Love this guy Scott so much.. its strange how u can relate better with someone you have never met in life..I like him suffer from PTSD.. and also isolate myself.. keep going Scott 💪

[@feralbluee]

i just want to give you a warm, strong hug, Scott. you’re a beautiful and intelligent person. get through, be your own spirit, have a good life, sweetie. i really get the isolation and reclusiveness - very different reasons. 🌷🌱

[@95654948]

Scott, thank you for sharing your story. You have such a purpose over your life, and anointing to lead others to healing.

[@rachelgarner7620]

As a woman growing up reading and listening to Rollins spoken words series in the 90s, I feel Scott's feeling for his words. Thankyou Scott for sharing. Thankyou Henry for helping a soul! Much love ❤️

[@karlwalter2242]

I left because the exact same reason never went back I heard my father died in 07 and i don't know where my mother is, and won't look for no one and don't want anyone looking for me...

I’m so Imprressed at your ability to be resilient and to fight for yourself and your happiness. You’re an awesome guy! I hope the best for you

[@sanda8309]

So on point.... these man is speaking my mind my soul and my emotions..... a lovely wise soul he is, After so much pain and suffer.

[@NopeNotTodaySatan]

This man right here made my heart sooo full (and sad at the same time due to his pain). As a survivor of abuse myself, I understand him. I really hope he is doing better each day. Thank you Mark for interviewing him! Much peace & love ❤️

[@edwinshmedwin]

im so much like this guy, its so nice to hear someone else's similar wisdom preach to me. thank you for what u do mark. you're a saint and warrior brother. and scott too.

[@earthcharm]

Thank you, Scott, for sharing your story. Very inspirational and my soul was captured by your honesty and warmness. And, thank you, Mark, for doing all these amazing interviews with people who deserve to be heard.

[@ScottBellar]

@earthcharm. AMEN and thank you! Mark is a modern day saint and a very very hard worker building the awareness of what is needed for broken and unloved people which is this..agape love, compassion, patience, and understanding.

[@karlanava6407]

I wish you nothing but the best Scott!💙

[@jz3071]

What a great interview! Complex trauma ( trauma after other traumas ) is rough…. I struggle with it. But he’s got the right idea on how to move through and past it: forgiveness, loving others, and much therapy. Blessings!

[@richardstritt7805]

Beautiful beautiful man,can so relate to everything you say Scott,I believe you brought yourself up and what a good job you did,love you.

[@josealejandre9699]

Thank you for having the courage to come out and tell your story

[@Radiantcentury415]

Scott I relate to you and your thoughts about forgiveness. I too recently began speaking to my abusive mother after years of not talking to her. And I relate to you about having the loving warm hug from god. I pray for your healing and am thankful there’s men out there like yourself, who are doing the self loving deep healing work. YOUR Angels are with you Props to ya homeboy! 💛

[@Zoro19663]

This guys sounds like such a sweet man. God Bless you for getting out of that mess. Blessings to you.

[@ScottBellar]

thank you!

[@matthewmiller7376]

I got C-PTSD and the way it effects you is on such a deep level, your brain is being wired during childhood and your training it to be hyper vigilant to danger and rejection, as an adult that fucks you up because your always having to calm yourself down and little things build up quick, then if you get pushed too far into stress you'll go heavily down an f type responce flight, freeze, fawn or fight, might feel agressive or just crazy anxious and want to escape some how through substances or prossess addictions or disassociate. Writing this now I'm 26 from uk and I feel like healing from this is one the hardest obstacles I'll ever overcome.

[@Hitit123]

This is so very accurate….thank you👊🔥😍🤟💯

[@maggiwery1349]

I wish I could hug this man, and tell him how proud I am of him. He is an amazing human.

[@madeline65ms]

WOW JUST…. WOW when he started talking about to trauma affects your schoolwork, man that broke my heart. Because that’s exactly what happened this semester for me. I went thru a whole lot..

[@NumberOneCookieMuncher]

Poor dude, he seems like a great guy so smart, and positive attitude, and trying to be productive while dealing with his PSTD. Very strong guy. I like him.

[@adambrocklehurst4211]

Very similar experiences with years of of abuse by a sadistic, abusive father, he left me with a seriously messed head and CPTSD. Daydreaming is literally a survival mechanism when your being abused, I completely relate to that. The best thing is cognitive behavioural therapy, it's gruelling, but worth it. You also need to be clean and sober, you cannot live with PTSD and drink and drug, it makes the symptoms much worse.

[@melissaviars8711]

He has a beautiful loving soul. Hang in there man hold your head high...

[@elaineverigin3934]

Amen to that ! Amazing story and testimony!!

The Fact That He Isn’t an ADDICT is Also AMAZING !!! I Hope He Finds the Love and Respect that He DESERVES !!!!!

[@seewhathappenslarry8124]

One of the best interviews I have seen on the channel. Great guest would love to see him again!

[@heaven4857]

I never leave comments on videos, but this one i really relate to so much right now. Im 29 years old and ive only just realised im suffering from complex ptsd from alot of trauma growing up. Ive had a very different experience of abuse but its stayed with me and then other things have happened that have added on to that already existing trauma. I also cant hold down a job, it all gets too much. Exactly like he said, someone uses a tone with me an it just does something to me. I then cant face it an dont return, find another job, same thing happens. My symptoms cripple me, and just seeing this video has helped me so much. Thank you for sharing, i wish you well 🙏

[@Ponzotopia]

I want all these people tossing around the term PTSD to understand that THIS is what it looks like. You desensitize other people to it when you just adopt the term to describe your bad day or troubling event. You get PTSD from the real or perceived threat of death, usually ongoing or recurring threat. And when it happens to you before your whole personality is formed super early in childhood, you get C-PTSD, which is complex post traumatic stress disorder... which is so much harder to heal from because your personality was formed around traumatic events.

[@gothboschincarnate3931]

...and what say you of PLCPTSD?

[@gburn9377]

Cptsd just isn't from early age trauma. The majority of grunts have what they call cptsd.

[@Ponzotopia]

@@gburn9377 they get PTSD

[@gburn9377]

@@Ponzotopia that's strange wonder why the VA diagnosed me with Cptsd from war? Considering I was 27 the day I stepped foot in Iraq. Hmm that's 2 years after the frontal lobe is fully developed. Lol since you want to pretend to know what ptsd is Hahaha, it was called nostalgia in the Roman times. It then was called shell shock in WWI/WWII. During the Vietnam War they called it PTSI, and now since Iraq they call it PTSD. In the next war they will call it something different as in the real world of trauma they already are dropping the D. It's ok superstar there is plenty of places you can seek remorse. What a loser.

[@MrTurtluv]

THANK YOU! People self-diagnose way too much. I was diagnosed by a professional with C-PTSD at 33, after I had tried to hold the barrier back since age 6. It’s hard to have people going around saying they “got” PTSD from something random. Like they had caught a cold.

[@kaitlynrae8051]

I really really relate to his story. Thank you for telling your story. This helps a lot of people like myself as well who suffer from PTSD. You are not alone.

[@ScottBellar]

@kaitlynrae8051 very true, we are not alone and God is always there, with a very powerful love and understanding. It's times we lose sight of him, then ourselves, that get bleak and dark. Sadly and shamefully I did this out of bitterness of becoming homeless 18 months ago and God was constantly talking to me but I was not listening, and did things my way instead of God's way, so God put me in a place where he knew I'd listen again and get back in tune with his will for my life. This place was jail and the 1st time in my life ever being arrested. LA County jail is hell on Earth and very very dirty. I got covid and shingles during the 90 days I was there last summer. The most important thing happened while I was in there though, I started to trust God again and we are repairing the mistakes I made .

[@SM-kk4rx]

by far the best interview…sending love to you Scott

[@jadebaz5571]

Wow! I wished this interview kept on going. What a remarkable well spoken man.
