This Is How Trauma Leads to PTSD

Get access to hundreds of LIVE workshops with MedCircle psychologists & psychiatrists: watch.medcircle.com
Trauma: the likelihood of experiencing it is more common than most people realize. Over 70% of US adults have experienced trauma at least once in their lives. That’s over 220 million Americans. And 20 percent of THOSE people go on to develop the debilitating illness known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of the trauma. So we traveled to New York City to sit down with leading psychiatrist and PTSD expert Dr. Judith Joseph. Welcome to the MedCircle original series, “PTSD from Traumatic Events: Ending The Silent Epidemic.”
In this original series, Dr. Judith Joseph also covers:
Workplace PTSD.
Personal stories about PTSD.
The causes and risk factors of PTSD.
How to spot PTSD.
How to get the right diagnosis.
How to get the right treatment & find long-term recovery.

I'm sorry but charging for mental health information is just wrong. Why not be the people that can help the majority of people that don't have the money to pay for information.....just sayin. Mental health is FINALLY getting brought to the forefront. It is just as important as physical health, more in my opinion. Anyhow, picture someone struggling, searching for answers or help to gain some sort of understanding of themselves or someone they love, to finally find good, solid, information only to have to lay to access it. Craziness. If run correctly the channel should bring more than enough monetary support to put out the information for free.

I lost my job due to workplace trauma. It was so bad I hyperventilated at work. I had to go on disability. For years I couldn't drive past the location or anywhere in the vicinity of the job. But that was just the straw that broke the camel's back because it wasn't just my job -every facet of my life had constant trauma attached to it for a period of years. I'm still struggling...

[@lb6536]

Post traumatic stress disorder means to me... still feeling the stress from that one or more traumatic experiences from the past. It doesn’t go away’ body is constantly sending false signals

[@user-du4gw]

not rly, atleast for me its different (i was diagnosed with ptsd)

[@rebeccabecca1308]

Only when triggered ptsd is not a constant stress only when triggered. So u may have anxiety disorder instead.

[@mifnp8887]

I was brutally bullied as a young Naval officer and nurse. I became withdrawn and cried every single day. I even left my profession for a while because I was so devastated. I felt I was going to be mistreated all over again. I finally realized that I was not the problem. That was 20 years ago. I became a nurse practitioner instead and am so happy doing what I love.

[@blucheese4352]

Vile thoughts in your head came from the depths of hell, sure medication can suppress but can never heal it. Science health had advance yet it has never found a cure. We need healing to our core our soul , the spritual aspect.. We need to bring it to the handyman of our soul. Jesus died for you on the Cross thousand of years ago and carrying all the beating of this world and was able to but it is not possible to carry the burden of its weight that is why they have never found a cure. He will give thy Holy Spirit to clean thy thoughts , your soul. We need to give to him. LOOK AT THE SKY AND SAY I CANT TAKE IT . GIVE YOUR HEART . If you need to be anger so be it, if you need to curse so be it, if you need to cry do it. Worship, praying doing good for others help. Good thoughts are best too but you are not to walk alone

My husband passed away after fighting and losing to cancer. I tried everything to save him and i couldn't and didn't- -so, i carry that guilt despite knowing that it is irrational. The guilt doesn't go away or diminish along with all the confusion, disbelief, and all the most devastating memories that haunt me and are almost visceral. Basically, just trying to talk about any of it, I immediately tear up because it lies so close to the surface, still even though it's been five years since I lost him. He died at home and there is no way I can afford to move somewhere, so, I live in this museum of sorts and on one hand I am very sentimental(I think at a toxic level) and can't get rid of things but everything reminds me of him. I want that and need it and yet I know, I probably take it too far. Sorry for babbling but I was diagnosed with it and was already before any of this happened, depressive and anxious. I recognize many of the symptoms in myself and the people around me who have gone through traumatic events.

[@ravenmadd1343]

Workplace bullying left me with PTSD so severe that the Pandemic was a blessing for me! I could work from home which gave me some relief and allowed me to see how badly "broken" I was. At work i was in constant survival mode as i got targeted by senior management who would share their "opinion" with their junior managers who in turn targeted me like good little robots. I kept a diary and all the emails etc so that's going legal. Sometimes the only emotion left to me is anger bordering on rage, it's all i can do to keep my reactions in check and it's exhausting. I'm getting treated for the PTSD and reactive depression and am a little better than I was but the threat of going back into the office fills me with dread. There's a "get together" at work next week but I'm not going.I have not set foot near the place in years. I was off on stress leave for a few months a few years ago and the idiot "doctor" the company sent to for assessment said I was suffering from stress but that going back to work was the best thing for me. I was suffering severe anxiety attacks at the time. To me it was telling a burn victim that the best thing for them was to go back into the fire! But then the company was paying that doctor, not me and it's one of those companies that works for big corporations so they always favor their customers, not the patient. Then the diagnosis was stress, now it's PTSD and I've had three separate evaluations because nobody would believe me when I told them! People at work were always being dismissive when I'd tell them. People tell me I should just get another job but I work in IT and mentally I am honestly just hanging on as it is. It takes five interviews just to get a job and no guarantee you will not fail on the last one. I'm also in my 50s and It is a very ageist industry. PTSD blows your ability to concentrate and your interest in doing anything. Putting thoughts together, one after the other, is like trying to walk across a river of treacle. Things that i found easy before are torture now and of course the management at work nail you for under-performing based on the opinion they have been given. But we have to keep going., bills won't pay themselves :/

[@Mthrntr]

They say most these big corporation are run by sociopaths. I’ve experienced them. There was a Ted talk about it a guy speaking I forget his name. Ive heard in more than a few times psychos in management. It’s aweful and true. DO SOMETHING ELSE. EASIER SIMPLE JOB THAT YOU LIKE WITH nice people not so cut throat. Sorry unsolicited advice. Those robots are not worth you putting your life on hold.

My therapist just diagnosed me with this... says that my PTSD triggers anxiety/depression.. previous therapist diagnosed me with Major Depressive disorder and it wasn’t accurate. I wasn’t chronically in a depressive state all of the time with no light at the end of the tunnel. I am “fine” when stressful life events aren’t triggering.. once I am triggered I have irrational thoughts and beliefs and that’s what leads to depression. Says that I relive trauma from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It’s really damaging to all of my relationships with people.. just glad I finally found a therapist who’s good at what she does.

It was a few years ago" or "that was childhood".... them I remember these are usually the same people who freak out if their coffee has too much sugar and their secretary makes one single mistake on their paperwork, the whole office hears for 2 days how bad their Tuesday was, yet they want to tell others to "get over" a lifetime of abuse or Trauma. Riggghttt.

[@hellyellieb8822]

I'm terrified of being touched (for many reasons) and I can't let people know, to avoid uncomfortable situations, because so many take it as a cue to pull me into a hug and not let go, over the years making it so, so, so much worse. Now it controls my life. It's true that chronic invalidation keeps people unwell.

[@jordboyd7709]

Getting revenge on the source of trauma greatly helps. I had PTSD for a year and nothing helped until I took revenge directly on the person responsible for traumatizing me (nothing illegal). My symptoms began to fade away almost immediately to a point where I don’t really experience them anymore. The key difference, is when I now recall the traumatic incident, I don’t feel upset but rather, happy, knowing that the perpetrator is still suffering from the effects of my revenge.

[@ajhproductions2347]

Very very true...most addicts have significant trauma of some kind

[@ThatGmoney]

I’m going to tell you my understanding. Everyone has been taught at a young age what they are worth. If your parents never had strong boundaries and invaded your boundaries, you never grew up knowing what is your limit and where are your limits. How are you supposed to know your worth if no one has taught you what are healthy boundaries? Here you are now, you believe self medicating is normal. It is not. But your mind has allowed you through whatever trauma you went through to believe the best things to handle your problems is through self medicating. What I hear all the time is this “You should be grateful.” But, how is one supposed to be grateful if they don’t know how to forgive? Please note, I am here not to diagnose you. I offered another opinion. Whatever your journey maybe, I hope there will be therapy and I hope you continue your research. The fact you posted on this channel is one step to your recovery. I will tell you this for sure, people who have gotten out addiction research everyday and ALWAYS. These people have a new found awareness and insatiable wisdom. I mean that is something pretty awesome to look forward after addiction right?

[@jaimhaas5170]

@@ThatGmoney I think the research on our formative years is very important. We do get into self defeating patterns and for many people those are hard to break. When we bring in pride mix it with ego and try to figure out our place in this world it can get mighty confusing. It sounds like you have done some research of your own. Do you feel healthy? Do you think many have the ability to escape addiction? My findings so far say that the best programs AAA or other 12 step rehabs often fail. The success rate is around 3-5 percent. I guess if you are in that small group you must really have the metal to enforce control over yourself. Most just don't have it.

[@ThatGmoney]

jaim haas you opened up a very important topic. One I also have to understand how do people get help when there isn’t enough support or even leads to reflect on themselves. I will say this but I won’t speak for the doctor and the host. The doctor and the host are established and their self worth are built upon making their career and of course this medium that you and I discuss on. I’m sure whoever supports these individuals are also established, grounded. When they say how do billionaires become billionaires because they are also surrounded by billionaires, who root or they can learn from them. However, I’m not telling you to be one. But I will tell you what the doctor, the host and healthy billionaires have in common, they have their identity. A healthy person thinks right now and they never think about the past and they certainly will never care about what other people think about them. You are going to do just fine. Always know that.

[@danielc5205]

Most people with ptsd haven't been in the armed services. If you're in the armed services with ptsd, the now defrauded Wounded Warrior Project "collects" money on your behalf and bands like Alan Jackson and/or Five Finger Death Punch will make a songs about you. But, if you're a civilian with ptsd; the majority of people with ptsd; you're overlooked.

[@BlakeGeometrio]

True.

[@rachelblackwell5207]

Absolutely. Just imagine the amount of people who have been sexually assaulted or raped... It far outweighs the number of people who’ve served in the military. And thats just that single form of trauma. Yet... no one cares. I’ve been in therapy for 8 years and am still trying to find the answer. Mine is from childhood abuse.

[@twistof-faith1170]

Even PTSD from non combat in military is overlooked AT THE VA ! .

[@courtneysrodgers8317]

Yep. Exactly. CPTSD and ptsd are different. I was diagnosed at 16. PTSD is from on or maybe a few trumatic events or surviving a bad car accident can cause it in some. Or a Rape. Abuse. CPTSD is from a series or battery of trumatic events. Mostly from places you physically can't escape from....over years and years

[@courtneysrodgers8317]

@@RavenStealstheNight therapist aren't equipt for that. A psychiatrist is what you need to go to. They usually hold Ph.D's not a bachelor's in consoling. At minimum a Master's Degree they hold to be a Psychiatrist. I have CPTSD diagnosed at 16 from Foster group home psychological and physical abuse. I was in the Navy reserves. Weekend warrior...they never knew about ANY of it. Guess I'm good at institutionalized places. I've struggled with homelessness before joining. Basic training in Illinois did set some triggers of being in a group home, but it reversed some of that Trauma. (Wait. People and peers who are normal) (that should show you how bad group homes where when then the military is less scary) ok...I hated being around people or job working around customers before that....it got much better financial and emotionally.

[@yourfavoritenetcitizen6525]

I agree

[@EIizabethGrace]

@@familyguy6668 I’m really sorry for what you went through, but please don’t diminish other people’s trauma just cause it’s different from yours. A lot of objective, subjective, external and internal variables are involved in making situations traumatic and in how we process them. I’ve been abused for years as a child and (while it did leave some scars) I have no C-PTSD that I know of. Others have been traumatized “only” once and have profoundly debilitating symptoms. Even severity isn’t a guarantee. I myself find that I struggle far more with stuff related to smaller trauma than to events which others usually perceive as much more traumatic. Everyone reacts to and processes different traumatic events differently. It’s not a competition. It’s hard enough to deal with the symptoms and stigma of mental illness without having to read, right under a video that’s supposed to help support your recovery, that what’s making your life a living hell isn’t valid because your trauma was too “petty”, not “true trauma”, happened only once, didn’t involve family members, or didn’t happen in your home. You also don’t need to justify your pain or request for help by making your suffering out to be the worst on the market. Not trying to make you feel bad. Just pointing out what I think is important stuff to remember, for myself, you, and anyone who may read it. Hope you found the help you needed, too, and that things are already going at least a little better.

Workplace PTSD is SO REAL.

[@le_th_]

I've never felt that my life was threatened at work, except when I was a flight attendant with American Airlines on/after September 11, 2001. Never before or since have I felt my life was truly threatened at work. ...but I've definitely experienced a highly toxic, bullying, pathological work environment, but it was NOTHING, and I do mean nothing to actually developing PTSD and not being able to leave my apartment, being hypervigilant in my own home when turning a corner inside my well-lit house, and actually not being able to work for years because of the PTSD. I would not wish PTSD on my worst enemy, but I also sincerely hope you are not exaggerating and confusing stress and anxiety with full blown PTSD.

[@stephv1563]

le th I’m sorry you are going through PTSD. But why are you assuming the poster above may be confusing stress with PTSD? There are several jobs where your life may not be in danger but you may witness something traumatic (EMT, doctors nurses, etc). These populations of workers are very underserved for their mental health needs.

[@le_th_]

@@stephv1563 I've healed from my PTSD, fortunately, and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. What I had is a less severe case than what many people with combat trauma endure. It should go without saying that you can witness an event ANYWHERE that is traumatic and develop PTSD, it need not be just the workplace. Surely you are familiar with the mass shootings that occur with some considerable frequency in the US and terrorist activities around the world? That is not what they talked about in regard to "workplace stress" in this video. If you misunderstood, you may need to rewatch the video if that is what you took away from it. I would caution you against making a blanket assumption/statement that EMTs, doctors, and nurses have jobs that do not place their lives in danger. I see the risk of some of their jobs quite differently. Anyone who has to treat victims of gang violence, gang members, drug addicts, mentally unstable, schizophrenic, or patients with combat PTSD so severe that they have actual flashbacks IS working in an environment where their life may be in danger, even if they aren't yet aware of that. Here's just one example, but there are likely others... www.nydailynews.com/news/national/california-veterans-home-lockdown-gunman-takes-hostages-article-1.3865440

I love sharing my best friend's story to offer true hope to those suffering through grief and sorrow. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a tract form as well, so if you or your church are interested in having them to pass out, please go to libertyfaith.net and you will find the contact info there.

I like these series and I really like the doctor. I can’t say for anyone but I can say for myself. I was raped and that shattered my world because I thought the person who did whatever they did to me cared for me. The reality was I was dating a narcissist. Now, when the explosive chest pain panic attacks set in, I went for research. Now granted this took time and a lot of time. All I wanted to do was do everything perfect because I wanted to protect my shame. That never helped my case, when I finally gave up my pride that when I realized my abuse started at a young age. My father touched me and I was able to tie it with how I ended up being raped because I never dealt with what happened in my childhood. It never occurred to me for having so much baggage, I was attracting only people with baggage. When they addicts stick together “misery loves company”. So that one part of therapy. Now awareness has kicked in, I was able to reach for help. I would call every crisis mental help line. I didn’t care if I exhausted them I just called till I got rid of the ptsd and had the ability to self reflect. Health professionals are amazing, that is if they are healthy themselves. These people know their boundaries and by talking to them constantly will you start reflecting and forming your boundaries. But what got me over my ptSd was time and with all the research, I found my self worth. I learned my identity, who I was in this process, I learned what I like and did not like. I learned to be a cold towards strangers and that’s ok. I don’t have to please anyone. I learned I never had to live that day again. Most importantly, I learned forgiveness. Forgiveness is never for the other person. Forgiveness is for yourself. I needed to forgive myself and forgave me.

[@msladypmodel]

You explained everything i was going thru as well. I was raped n molested for years. The mental emotional pain i had gone thru really cause so much unnecessary drama and emotional pain for years w no support. I never could be understood truly by my family and friends. I did get help. Im better now but i still have triggers n most ppl dont understand and judge me harshly which makes me feel more like crap. And wants me to retract and stay to myself. Therapy helps. Ppl should get more help w mental health. N take this more seriously.

Workplace PTSD is exactly what happened to me over the last 2 years but there was a lot more to it's power over me. I loved my job of 20+ years and ended up having extreme constant panic attacks and finally just had to get up and walk out and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't go back, even after reporting to HR. It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life and I'm still paying for it. When the me too movement came along, I knew what they were talking about even though it was the same type of situation; although it sort of was but in reverse. It's great to hear this talked about on this video! I even thought of it as PTSD while it was going on and afterward but never found any confirmation that it was comparable. Thank you so much for bringing it up!!!

[@DefconDelta88]

I didn't even realize I had ptsd for so, so long. I went through a sexual assault that pretty much obliterated my ability to have any kind of intimacy (I'd try and want to set myself on fire after the fact). But the thing was, I'd been drugged for the assault and only remembered scattered bits of it, and I was too young and naive at the time to realize what had happened. I did several years later, and that eventually led me to identifying my ptsd and seeing all the areas that it had been a septic sort of thing in my life. It was so strange and horrible to know I was broken for some reason but having no knowledge of why. Couldn't afford professional help at the time, either.

What stopped me recoving from ptsd for so long was the therapists telling me trauma isn't an emotion So for example I'd feel trauma but they'd ask me to label it and I'd guess wrongly it's anger or fear etc and I became even more emotionally imbalanced Once I'd accepted the emotion is sinply trauma I'd feel it and accept it and over a month or three it faded away

Workplace PTSD sounds real. I worked in retail and had to have interaction with customers. The first time I had a serious anxiety attack was at work when this lady I was helping started screaming at me and cussing me out, it was a whole thing. For a long while afterwards, anyone who looked like that lady in appearance and temperament, I seriously avoided. I don't know why it freaked me out so much, but it did

I was abused by the police and the hospitals that claimed that they were there to help me. I was already diagnosed with PTSD but I can honestly say that my symptoms became much much severe due to the system that is supposed to help. Lord knows I truly regret ever reaching out.

Dude. As soon as you mentioned workplace ptsd I about died inside. I literally was talking to my sister about this like 10 years ago! The recession put me through a huge nightmare of job, income and food instability. I had ptsd from an assault years back so I was already familiar with the feeling and told my sister after what I'd been through with work, and coming out of it into the tech industry where things are VERY different (chushy and more stable), I was literally exhibiting signs of ptsd. So I've talked to people about this over the years, literally called it work-ptsd. Its so refreshing to hear we have someone really pushing this concept into the light. It's VERY real, it's VERY common, and identifying it is half the battle.

The man thinking he will be robbed again resonates with me - I didn’t experience something that extreme and physically dangerous but I was unexpectedly fired two years ago, which in retrospect traumatized me because I felt so blindsided.

I tried talking to a psychologist once. He said that he was ethically bound to report if he thought I'd hurt someone. I have self-control enough to not hurt anyone, but rage enough to make an idiot psychologist panic. How the hell am I supposed to share with you lunatics when you're the exact kind of scenario that hurt me so badly in the first place? What I want are friends, but every time I try to talk to a friend they shut me out and tell me to talk to a psychologist. The entire field is poison as far as I'm concerned now, the antidote to friendship. I said that to the psychologist, and I hope he closed his practice because of it.

[@Xplreli]

I just want to not feel scared to trust people. I just want not be so sensitive and get triggered. I want to be able to make connections. But I mostly just want people to understand the real me. I'm so much more than my trauma but it is a part of me. I want to be able to heal in a way that feels right. I want to be able to not have to isolate myself out of fear that my illness will get in the way. Hopefully I can learn to live a fuller life one day and I won't hurt as much.

[@CROWSurvival1]

I would imagine that right along with the framework of Workplace PTSD, there would be a similar presentation in Relationship PTSD, especially if one already has CPTSD, or other pathology comprising traits of fear of abandonment, and more especially when experiencing a relationship with a Narcissist. Heck, we've created a culture of dissociation, escapism, delusion, and addiction just to manage the PTSD-ish symptoms of daily living in a eugenic society where life is too expensive to live, and you never know whether you're going to have a home or food from one moment to the next, and stability is a luxury. And, yes, it is no joke.

[@Dometoo]

Do you also look into C-PTSD (Complex post traumatic stress disorder), which I think is much more severe than normal PTSD? Or at least much harder to figure out per individual person and cure.

[@misse7154]

YESSSS! We need more on CPTSD because it's so misunderstood. The fact that in the DSM community they want to lump it in with BPD just kills me. As someone with CPTSD I feel like the clinical community often doesn't get it.

[@Dometoo]

@@misse7154 I agree 100%. C-PTSD is very missunderstood and especially among the proffesional community who keep missdiagnose it with fx BPD, anxieties, depressions and even narcissism. I dont think you can have BPD without also having C-PTSD as well. Which completely flies under the radar for pro's for some reason. All these other diagnoses created from repeated traumas blur and blend overlappingly well together and it confuses anyone who haven't experienced it first hand themselfes, incl the pro's who is surposed to treat/cure it. Those diagnoses are ALL starting with C-PTSD, otherwise they could not even exist in many cases. Only then they can develop into long term survival strategies that's either early taught or adapted survival responses to coaping against the dysfunctional repeated traumas they have endured and then cant stop or dont dare to turn off these survival skills later in life that only is designed for the traumatic past and not the peaceful present. Including splitting personalities or realities or both + present and past syncronize daily/often. I mean they cant stop surviving 24/7 with emotional flashbacks on a daily basis and fail to living their beautiful lives instead + feel safe doing it etc. There is a reason it's called Complex before PTSD and this is just the tip the iceberg. I learned a lot from the content of this link + other videos from his channel about C-PTSD and much more. A bit different approach but very accurate. Enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3aYl42Xdt-LrdU

Thank you very much for talking about PTSD and trauma. For the first time in a long time, I feel validated. I was diagnosed with PTSD due to child sexual, verbal, and physical abuse by my dad. From 5th grade till the end of my freshman year of high school I was verbally abused. During my freshman year of high school I was sexually and physically abused. My first boyfriend who knew about all of my past trauma history two and a half years ago raped me. I’m now in therapy for all the forms of abuse I had from my dad and the rape from my ex. I get panic attacks, sometimes have bad depression, used to be suicidal (am NOT anymore), and used to cut (I do NOT cut anymore). Since my abuse ended I have a fear of all boys and men. I also have a fear of being in Philadelphia because half the time I was abused I was in Philly with my dad. When I started therapy, I had a hard time with my imaginal exposure therapy because I’d feel like I was back in the moment and then I would begin to separate from myself. I’d be there but not really. I could do the bare necessities of my job at work but felt empty and distant from everything. Just the feeling of there but not really there. That lasted for months but my psychologist worked with me on what was happening and I still work on imaginal exposure therapy with her. I just wanted to let others know you’re not alone and that I’m here for you. Sending you all my support and a hug.

[@haylaveet]

Workplace PTSD is real! Prolonged bullying in the workplace, prolonged exposure to narcissist superiors or associates will lead to PTSD. The inability to escape because of the feeling that one's livelihood is threatened exposes people to situations that lead to PTSD.

[@BenAvodot]

I have been diagnosed with Cptsd for various traumas, most specifically my brother was found in a coma, his head bashed in with a blunt object, he was unconscious for six weeks. I had many symptoms for years. One symptom is substance use, which I used to smoke a lot of weed. What I figured out was that I was using weed to disassociate. It was a relief to escape from my own thinking or feelings. I still use once and a while, and I’m in treatment with a trauma specialist for about 3 years now. I agree that the sooner you get treatment, the better.

[@sarwall_]

I feel this so deeply 😔 my little brother was in a coma on life support back in November, after getting on his neighbors street bike and crashed not even 300 yards from his house because he didn’t know how to ride a bike. Within just a couple hours after the accident, three doctors came to this little room we were in waiting at the hospital, to tell us that he had too much head trauma, and there was nothing they could do. My parents had to take him off life support two days later. I replay these images and have constant flashbacks that feel like I’m there again reliving it. It literally takes your breath away, and I feel like I can’t breathe. I can hear the sounds of the ventilator, the monitors, and remember the smell and feeling of the bandages on my brothers hands so vividly. I wouldn’t wish PTSD or this pain on anyone. I also lost my best friend of 15 years, not even 6 months prior back in May, she was brutally murdered. Most days I wish a memory erasing pill existed. I hope you’re doing a little better now ♥️ I know the substances help to temporarily numb the pain

Sitting in the dark all alone finely realizing I was haveing a ptsd attack not that Long ago. I am dealing with it. Its hard to understand sometimes when you are triggered when your way up on survival mode you dont relize it. it takes comming down to be able to process what the hell was happening. Ptsd is so hard to live with. In my instance I have trouble in crowds. (Among other things such as loud noises etc.) They tend to trigger "issues" Example just tonight I went to the brand new fish and chip place that just opened. Packed full of people. Now that I am down I relize how way way up I was in there. Loud way up on 10 just running the room it was bad. It was real bad. I was compleatly triggered. A guy basically even told me to shut up. I dont blame him. I was angry while I was way up and that put me up even further even became relatively lippy but I finished eating and just left then at home I used sensory deprovision, little pot. Calms me down let's me think just pulls me out of that fight or flight survival mode. I use sensory deprovision alot to calm me back to earth because of instances like this. I try to go out and live a normal life but 💩 like this often keeps me home in deprovision to manage. Bad things can happen. Big fights, hurt loved ones. So much loss...
