S I've never actually heard people talk live with PTSD, is really like, feels to be crazy to hurtful and offensive to hear and also other people are trying to say that PTSD that it is not real or not is a big problem , I know I'm far from the only one who wanted to start a TV on my TV when I heard that Donald Trump said: "People come back from the war and fight and see things that maybe many people in this room have many times seen and you are strong and you can manage, but many people can not handle the situation. "
Many of these people have heard, apparently from PTSD that the way to speak (some people say it is not could have so specifically meant, but it is hard not to think that this is exactly what I suggested) and were surprised, because they are aware that the effects of PTSD can be devastating, even for the strongest man on earth.
To illustrate this, I spoke with a number of women and gender people as PTSD affects their daily lives, and the additional challenges that come from living in a world where people expect PTSD completely. If you really listen to people talk about how this mental illness too real affects people and how heartbreaking it really survive such trauma and live to tell the story (and cope with constant symptoms and search trigger), you know that everyone, of patients with PTSD are trying to say low, is an idiot and downright reckless.
Here are some stories from real people every day to fight with him.
Bridget, 19
"When I was 15 was sexually assaulted by a man when I have a big brother. He was 34. We are in a game were together and dropped between racks, several times. 7 and 15 years, the theater and music were my whole world, but after that it was the last game I was. I still can not go to a theater, shake without my hands, even if I'm only at the hearing. part of the reason that is not in any kind of production took part, a sudden release people on Facebook and Twitter is because I can not be without totally breaking comments behind the scenes. Trump has me came in some obvious way, but something unexpected. about their stories. the women of my childhood, school, work and talked about their experiences as survivors. it has feel vindicated me and gave me the feeling that I am not alone.

"Some days, PTSD literally control my life. My brain is literally rewired sense to treat the danger and fear. I PTSD an incident in which an arsonist tried to burn my house, while many of my friends were sleeping inside. Now constantly I was worried that my relatives were injured, when I hear from them for a few hours Donald Trump does not understand that many people in the US a skull -. brain - dysfunction suffer literal events (that's what I call would me) shows that he is unable to be president.

"When I was younger, my therapist suggested that my sexual assault me may be PTSD, but did not think it was possible. He has not seen someone dies or something, you know? Changed my personality as I was old and has never been identified as a traumatized. After the last incident this year deeply reflecting and broke one of my attacks, had a complete breakdown and made me that I realize PTSD. it is devastating to see how PTSD the way I the world travel affected and reflect people the way my mind, and the physiological effects that my trauma has on me. navigating the health care system works spiritual and trying to work through my daily symptoms such as hyper-vigilance and panic attacks while try the people to have and to understand what by I'll get another job like is needed to use my time and get better resources. "always wondered what would be like my life, and which could reach it if I respect ,
Fay, 27
"Living with PTSD, is living in a volcano. You're never sure when it will be, but when activated, flashbacks and panic can not escape or hide. Devouring, and despite years of therapy (if you were lucky to obtain a good treatment), could even lead to depression, which could take months or years to recover every day in his head. and everything as you go to work, life and love. "
Jennifer, 36
"PTSD is in the movie Groundhog Day as life, absolutely advised with the exception that the measures it repetition will not be repeated responses to actions, and are out of control. Sometimes I feel like an echo chamber live constant my past who defeated me feel lonely, confused and angry power. only if I want to have a normal response to a normal situation. only once. "
Jamie, 24
"Half of what triggers my PTSD denial others is to be present in the first place. It made me understand even years, as looking in a mirror in the bathroom things so easy to do what he bathroom, sleep a few more hours, or so hard to talk to other people. to know that my PTSD is real, not change the fact that rears its head in the places I did not expect, but know it's real, not crazy another argument in favor of women, or the United Nations are in my life context to be -chill that seems to land. it is a part of me now, even if you do not want to be put in place. So, I take my pills and go to work and do what I did before PTSD has become a problem, but I do not know, and the people to ignore their own, is what you can to win. "
Christians, 45
, "I am a teacher and my class, I went today to talk tomorrow about the debate, a student said something like:" Many of my friends say their abuser Trump recalled, or that their PTSD is triggered when they look. Why more people do not speak "And I say:" Oh, I quite evening triggered by the debate yesterday .. I did not see them in action very often, but when I do, my fight or flight begins reaction shots "My heart! to run, I have to shake my hands, I was so angry, even feel my children say, "we turn, Mom" I felt like I was abusing the air makes us try it, my son to mock 13 and has a sense of humor, but .. my daughter is 7 and she was trying to understand the expression on his face. I still think the video bus, and when Arianne kiss, and the forced intimacy to see that is so prevalent . it hurts my stomach. "

If I stay too long in my head I have to Sex have to stop along I find myself with hyper-focus on the eyes of my partner to get out of my head, but sometimes the thoughts slide just long enough for him ready to, then curl into a ball and keep it for me. -. also I. never tell you why I do that. "
Megan, 24
"My PTSD symptoms began shortly after an agreement with my experience of sexual abuse to achieve and accept that I am a rape victim, for years before that had suppressed. My PTSD comfortable my fear looked that usually my day made much more difficult than it should be the day. All you need is an idea and a few moments, my muscles are tense, it's hard to breathe, and I will be a mixture of fear and fight, try the to gain control over again, what happened to me. I feel good never to go anywhere alone, especially the night that me less independent person made me to be trying. it sucks, but to talk about it, and has the support of other women really helped to heal.
