Post Traumatic Stress Disorder | What Is PTSD? | Signs Of PTSD

Have you tried asking her during a calm moment? I also have PTSD and personally all I need is comfort, suicide statements are common and does feel inevitable in the moment. I'd be happy to talk more with you on PTSD if you'd like.

I was diagnosed with ptsd from my doctor bout 2 days ago. I lost my grand bout a year ago and the loss isn't the main issue. (Though its like the 2nd issue) I was born into a abusive & toxic family and she was my world's rock. My life is a aggressive one now. But as a lot of people say I'm fine. Nah don't say that I'm fine (unconvincing smile) nah I'm f***ing fine!!!!

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd share that I've had the most help from EMDR therapy. It's a lot of emotional work but I feel like it's the only thing helping me. I encourage you try it if you haven't.

Hope all you are ok

Any of you can't take load noises

I wish I knew if I have PTSD. I experienced a violent enviroment and domestic abuse against my mother.

I'm sorry for my fellow ptsd people make new memories don't give up don't let this define you people can get over ptsd don't give up

I have an exaggerated startle response. Whenever there is a loud, sudden noise, I jump immediately. Which is quite embarrassing sometimes. I guess it’s funny for people watching me. I don’t get upset by it, but I have been misunderstood in public once. I was in a grocery store and some kind of alarm went off. I think it was one of those times where the shoplifting alarm went off for no reason; nobody was even near the sensor. Before the staff got the alarm off, a fellow shopper had his phone start ringing and I muttered an obscenity or two. The guy was like, geeze someone is touchy today! And I was mortified. I don’t want to seem angry but when two loud noises surprise me in a short time, I can get disoriented.
