As of right now, more characters on Grey's Anatomy have PTSD than not. From tons of different experience. Watching it has been very cathartic for me. There is Meredith, with the long term PTSD from her neglectful mother, Owen who has combat PTSD, then all of them get it from a mass shooting in...

Hang in there, you can do this!

Wow, Maryel, I am so sorry. I work with kids with autism and I have been in those exact situations and it is really hard, not knowing what the child is feeling. I cannot imagine how hard that must be for the parents. My thoughts are with you.

Woohoo! Thanks guys!

Hey, I am right there with you! I used to not be able to cry about what happened to me, so I used to watch old episodes of Grey's Anatomy. It helped so much, just to watch that nonsense and let the tears flow. In recent years, they have given several characters on that show different kinds of...

When I started grad school, my PTSD was so bad, and so not dealt with that it created a conversion disorder, causing me to faint when I was stressed. At the end of my first semester, I was not allowed to take my finals because I was too distressed because my brother had tried to kill himself...

YOU RULE!!!!

Wow, Nadia, that was really interesting. I loved how much you were able to say with just using the lighting and your soft voice. You have a really pretty voice, and this was a really well thought out video. It was amazing that you did this before you knew you had PTSD, because it so...

My goal today is to become a SECOND YEAR GRADUATE SCHOOL by getting an A ON MY DYSPHAGIA FINAL!!!!

My boyfriend's family found out that I had PTSD and told him that it makes dangerous and I should stay away from him. It was the first time anyone had ever found out about my PTSD and their reaction was humiliating and degrading. The worst part is, my boyfriend was influenced enough by his...
