Once you develop ... ( 6 months ago by RiaTapioca)

Once you develop PTSD anxiety, you could be on medication for it for the rest of youre life from it. I have several friends who couldnt even leave their house because it was so bad... depends on the person and the type/severity of anxiety diagnosis. The only severity of my anxiety diagnosis is it is constantly triggering insomnia -_-;

I sometimes wonder ... ( 5 months ago by Niche79)

I sometimes wonder if I have it, I had to go to the emergency room twice for not being able to breathe and I thought I would die. Now I get panic struck about doing things I loved to do such as go on roller coasters or even take a plane ride for a vacation, I just dont want to get on it at all, scares me to death and my heart rate goes through the roof! I guess I need to see a doctor.

Im just pissed all the time, i can't sleep and i isolate myself from everybody because i just dont trust no one. i just want to go back, i cant let it go, nobody understands nothing and no one cares, im viewed as a 22 year street punk, i dont need advise, i had friends overseas, people i can depend on, i did good things in afghanistan. i fear the future, im home all day with my firearms looking for burglars, all night. even now im scared. i need to calm down.

3:32 This is my main freak out point.I will lose my ever loving mind if someone walk's up behind me.Honestly I can handle it most of the time,but when someone is behind me I feel anger building up through my backbone.Honestly in some cases there is no telling how I will react to it,but I have flipped out a few times from it.

He is so right. You don't have to be a Vet. to have PTSD. A child young as 4 yrs old could have it and it could be brought out at any time. One thing I hate is when ppl so just get over it. It is not easy to get over it... You never get over it! you grow and it grows with you. Sad to say it but it does..In my case it is server but I live

oh my god no explenation in the world can reflect how it is to have that,and ESPECIALLY not to go throug it as a very little child,i got no help for it when i was a child,i remember that constantly i tried to keep it away but then suddenly,it would come over me like a wave,like you fell from mount everest that feeling of no control your body is light as a feather,and afterwards you felt very bad, it went away for the rest of my childhood. but now at twenty, i have panicattacks and puke of fear

I still have ... ( 4 weeks ago by mdlane3)

I still have trouble hearing doorbells, am hyper-vigilante, and have nightmares. A home invasion by a serial rapist in my neighborhood caused long term problems for me. Although I was able to fight my way out of being raped, the attack harmed my sense of well being in any new environment. A recent change has brought the fears to the forefront once again.
PTSD is real, hard to live with at times, and hard to explain to anyone who hasn't had a life threatening experience.

how many more must live a life of misery before the world opens its eyes ?

I'm a combat ... ( 21 hours ago by IschysDynamis)

I'm a combat veteran diagnosed with PTSD. A stress-reaction is a normal response to an abnormal experience. I have nightmares about the military life I once lived. The abuses of the chain-of-command were equally as stressful as combat. The friendly-fire of those who are hyper-controlling, causes anxiety that adds to the enormous stress of combat. The abuses of war and of those who feed the fire of war, are too great to speak of. Military life is as unnatural as the war in my opinion.
