I am extremely guarded, shy, and quiet. I don’t talk that much in classes where I don’t know people, I but talk with my close friends. I suffered some psychological trauma in my life and I have post-traumatic stress disorder. I get really nervous in class when I think I might get called on to answer a question. Right now I have an air cast and I’m using crutches and I just hate how people always look at me.

I think you have social phobia or social anxiety

I seen a movie a while ago. In the movie two marines are caught by the Taliban and are tortured. Towards the end of the tourtering the one Marine is forced to kill his partner. Afterwards the US soldiers move in and clear the area. The one alive marine goes home and deals with post draumatic stress and fights with his brother a lot. If anyone knows the name of this movie, please tell me.

Brothers (2009/I)

how would two people get along if one had hypo mania and the other had Post traumatic stress disorder?

if the two were in a unstressed environment together I would say normal.

I am working on a story, however I was wondering do people sometimes show symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder months or years after what ever caused it happened? In this time can they be completely fine?
Example, they see something that reminds them of what happened and it just crashes them into a depression? Thanks a lot.
Yes….. I was severely abused as a child starting when I was 5….. I still have flashbacks and I am 45 now. I have always had flashbacks though - and I have DID so it’s a little different than PTSD (though technically I have that too)… Some people repress memories and do not even remember the event for years (or ever).. they can have flashbacks after recovering the memories or they can even have flashbacks without even remembering the event…. a child that was raped but supresses the event, may not remember it but may still become severely depressed or emotional when faced with anything that could connect with the event. PTSD is not necessarily just flashbacks… PTSD can also be a complete lack of emotion concerning an event…. the emotions are just too painful so the mind turns them off completely…. women can talk about a rape in perfect detail and not feel a single emotions about it…. this doesn’t usually hold forever and eventually breaks down but this would be an easy way to explain why someone would seem to be fine abotu something for a long time then fall apart about it.

I had a few violent relationships from age 20- 23 and find it hard to trust people so I keep people at a distance.
But I have had panic attacks and agoraphobia since the age of 9.
Post-Traumatic stress disorder or something else ?
Also I have always had a hard time expressing myself in person to people I don’t know well.

Do events you see that relate to it even if you see it through media sources, tv that will trigger problems and cause you now very hard times to view things that are close to what you suffered.

I ask this cause myself, I was in a severe accident, could have easily died, really could have with a C-1 fracture (broken neck) on cervical 1 with other issues that I don’t even want to talk about witch is not like me, but points to PTSD and whenever I see on tv that resembles a accident, a bad accident with blood all over the victims of the accident. I just can’t watch it, or have great trouble and triggers a lot of issues. Dreams use to come and really bother me,

I handle these issues the wrong way using diazepam too flood myself of all these triggers/thoughts and never experienced anything like this before.

Even though I will heal from all the injuries, I was lucky and could have even had temporarily or full paralysis so even though I feel lucky, I still get these attacks. what I am saying is if you don’t think you have it, ask yourself if you experience any of the symptoms of it and really, experiences myself, something that you never really experienced before.

i was in a car accident 1 year ago and the car bashed into the back of my car.i was wondering if you can post traumatic stress disorder cause a car even gets close to me while im in a car i get freaked and when some swerves the car i get scared. i was wondering if i can get that

Yes, I got it when I was 23 from a minor car crash. See your Dr.

if i mentally rehearsed the traumatic scene and took all the stress out on my punch bag all at once could it make me worst? because i tried that once and is was as if i could see and feel things again. it felt amazing, it was like i was normal again.. but after that happened i started drifting deeper into numbness until the point where i could not realize if i was alive or dead… i want to fix myself but i cant go and see anyone.. can you give me any tips that could help me recover by myself please?

thank you.

I’m going through the same thing. Everyone tells me to "just get over it" and it really annoys me. But maybe it IS that simple. Just get over it, even though the pain and memory is still there, just try to busy yourself and live life and move and live beyond your feelings.

I think it’s good to honor your feelings and all that, but living too much in your feelings and having your life be affected by it is not a good way of honoring your feelings.

I know a lot about post traumatic stress disorder. I am just curious if the person who does have (p.t.s.d) post traumatic stress disorder will hurt anybody else when they are reminded of the event.

Yes, it also hurts their loved ones, because they go through the same pain that the person with ptsd goes through.
