WHO WE ARE

HAVE YOU EVER HAD PERIODS IN TIME, WHEN YOU SLEEP, YOU DO NOT DREAM, AND THEN WHEN YOU DO, IT'S A NIGHTMARE ?  TRAUMA CAN EFFECT THE WAY YOU SLEEP. If any of my followers have anything else to add please do so on my contact page, thanks.

Throughout my youth years and, my teenage years, my mind was a sponge, soaking up all the information. I wanted to learn everything. Now I never said that I was a saint, and if you would have asked my mom, bless her soul, she would give you them mother eyes, if you know those kinds of eyes that I'm talking about, contact me. I had confidence that was so strong, that I felt like I could become anything. Doctor, lawyer, scientist, mathematician, etc... the sky was the limit. It was like this invisible shield all around me, nothing could penetrate the shield, nothing except a traumatic experience.

                                                                                                   PTSD AND ANXIETY

I for one can tell you that at times, out of nowhere anxiety can flare up. I can be sitting down, and all of a sudden something negative would pop up in my head, something just unexpected. My emotions would kick in, and the next thing, I begin to notice my heart rate has increased, I get a weird feeling inside. I have trouble controlling my breathing. I then begin to panic, which just makes matters worse. I start pacing around walking trying to get control of what's going on with me. I try focusing on different things, sometimes it works, and sometimes not. It's an ongoing war, one that I'm willing to fight. If or when this happens to you, don't hesitate to seek out for help. Call a crisis help line like I do. They'll talk to you about anything that will help you overcome this. They've helped me, they can help you too. Next, I'll talk to you about PTSD and DEPRESSION. I can tell you a lot about my experiences with depression and things I do to cope.

                           POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

                                            WHAT I'M LEARNING ABOUT IT

   So, this is what I'm gathering from the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH site, which has a lot of info.

                                                                                                                                    OVERVIEW

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event.

It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split- second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.This "fight-or-flight" response is a typical reaction meant to protect a person from harm. Nearly everyone will experience a range of reactions after trauma, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with PTSD may feel stressed or frightened, even when they are not in danger.

                                                                   You can find out more information about PTSD, just visit the site

 Some of us has to step up and make a difference. If not me then who. People like us with disabilities help others.  
 


 

 

 

 

 

     Having a support network can be the difference between living and suffering. Sure, you can knock that pebble off your shoulder alone. (REMEMBER THOSE DAYS). But to move that humongous mountain, you're going to need that army. I'm a witness. This is my testimony. If you need to reach out text me. I'm still going through traumatic experiences. the difference is that we can share our experiences together.

Veterans are more likely to experience mental health conditions than non- veterans. According to a 2014 study, one in four veterans meet the diagnostic criteria for a mental health issue, and one in 10 struggles with multiple conditions. In 2020, SAMHSA reported that approximately 5.2 million veterans experienced a behavioral health condition. However, more than half of veterans with a mental illness do not receive treatment within a given year.

                     We all suffer from something. We need to acknowledge, that life has obstacles that we must overcome.
