PTSD, What I Have Learned
What I have learned over the years is that post traumatic stress disorder triggers never seem to totally go away. About the time you think you have it licked, WHAM a trigger! Has you questioning if you are weak, what is wrong with me, etc? Nothing is wrong with you/me, I have PTSD, no matter how hard I try not to! Those events happened, they traumatized me and that’s it! There is no erasing it, going back for a do over, it is what it is. I am not weak because I have an attack, I am a human, I feel things, my mind has recalls, triggers. A scent, a sound, an event……………anything can be a trigger & I don’t usually see it coming, but I do better at handling them after all these years and counseling. When I am able to figure out the past event which traumatized me, I can breathe it down and it stops eventually, usually within 30 mins. My attacks are my breathing gets faster, I am uptight, my mind reels, I feel out of control. I sit, do my breathing exercises and have to figure out what event from my past is causing the reaction, when I figure that out I can then do my breathing and calm my mind. It also helps me to be able to talk it through with someone I trust, and then say I know the event and tell them and it makes me feel proud because I handled it, it’s past. Usually the person I tell celebrates with me, by saying good job! Sounds simple and maybe silly, but it works for me. My trigger events are much smaller and not as noticeable to others as they used to be. I am no longer hiding in the closet in a corner with my knees held tight against my body rocking……………….thank god! I don’t think one can be cured, or erase the bad that happened to them in their life, just learn ways to positively handle it when they are triggered in their head.
