Hi again if this is your first time reading my blog welcome. I wanna talk about PTSD and who it can affect and what it is. So PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder it affects the brain and how it works because the trauma is so deep that it never goes away its something you relive the rest of your life. You can get night terrors from your trauma, it can make you suicidal, it makes your reaction different from "normal" peoples responses to everyday situations. I know for me that I get night terrors and flashbacks when I get triggered. Many things can trigger it like someone saying or doing something as well as smells and being in a place were the trauma took place. I know a lot of the time people think that only people who were in military get PTSD this is so wrong everyone and anyone can develop it from a trauma. I won't go into detail of my trauma but the people will get PTSD from sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and many other situations its something that causes scars on the brain. Its not fun to have because it can destroy your life depending on how bad your PTSD is because the severity of it can vary from person to person. But a lot of people don't talk about mental illnesses because in society its believed to be taboo to have a mental illness which if enough of us who suffer from any mental illness talked about it eventually others who are to scared to won't be so scared anymore and will feel its okay to talk about. That's why I wanna raise awareness not only for PTSD but every mental illness and tell people its okay to talk about. Its okay to express that you have this and that you can be like everyone else just your unique and you are stronger because you have to suffer daily and yet you keep going. We may think we are weak but we are strong we just need to find our voices. Because we are special in a great way. So talk about your mental health you might be surprise to find out who else does to.
