PTSD what is PTSD PTSD is post traumatic stress disorder
And I of all people live with this disorder
Well the reason I’m talking about this topic today is because I am haveing a PTSD moment and I have no medicine or anything to help me get through this shit
All day today I have been dealing with back Flashes and the intrusive thoughts of what happened in my past and for once I wish I could catch a break but you now you never will get a break from PTSD it will always will be with you
And there is no cure for it ether so that’s why I am posting I am wondering if there is someone out there that has the same issues or close to the same issues that I have
So if you guys have any advice I would greatly appreciate it and on top of that if anyone is dealing with it to I am so open to talk to you to try to make you feel better well that is all talk soon
I was diagnosed with cptsd. Those that have ptsd or cptsd go thru alot for sure and it can be very debilitating. Usually when i get flashbacks or get triggered, i have to do various things to bring myself back into the present. Deep breathing really helps as well as this technique:
I also have to say out loud various things to remind me that i am safe, that i am no longer in that situation etc. Talking it out helps. Exercise and distraction has helped me. Lavender essential oils have helped me to calm. Showers have helped. I basically have a “toolkit” of techniques or activities that i know that i can do to help me thru the times that im experiencing an episode. There is no cure, but i do find that the more i practice these coping skills, the less intense the episodes are. Thats my experience anyway but its been a loooong road.

The essential oils that you talk about I can’t really do because I have seizures and some smells aren’t good for me
Specially lavender lavender I am really allergic to so to be honest that’s really out of the question for me
But I will try to do some what of the other stuff you have suggested for me
thank you for reaching out and thank for taking the time to talk i hope you and your family have an amazing day
I can’t agree with this enough.
