Who is SICK & TIRED of hearing- “IT’S JUST STRESS”, “IT’S JUST ANXIETY”, “GET OVER IT!”?!
I was told this evening by a friend that said, “I HAVE STRESS TOO” & then by another person that was in this conversation after over-hearing me explaining to her THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, & explaining the details of WHY it’s DIFFERENT to my other friend, & this other person said, “OH, SEVERE ANXIETY”.
I am SICK of this being so MISUNDERSTOOD and MINIMIZED!
This is why WE have to RISE UP, INFORM & EDUCATE others about MEDICAL/SCIENTIFIC/NEUROLOGICAL FACTS!
I’ve personally spoken many times with an AMAZING Doctor that is beyond intelligent & I have talked to this another beyond intelligent woman that specializes in this for almost a year & have developed a friends hair & she is a PROFESSOR in PSYCHOLOGY & also her specialty is in C-PTSD & PTSD & she also is on the ID CHANNEL that investigates & she has been interviewed about the psychology part of serial killers & much more- they have educated me with SO many medical/scientific/neurological FACTS that have not been put out there like “depression”, anxiety” or “bi-polar”. Everyone in this world totally understands that, right? But not Complex PTSD.
(The next post I post, I will inform y’all with what I’ve found out so you can share with anyone who comes at you with “IT’S JUST STRESS”.)
I told my friend this evening while I was crying (I had an episode Friday which just reminded me my friend I was speaking to said “OH, A PANIC ATTACK?!”) & if y’all want, when someone says things like that, I want y’all to remember this & this is what I told & asked my friend-
“IF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, STRESS, BI-POLAR DISORDER IS THE SAME AS C-PTSD/PTSD, then WHY are they ALLLLL NAMED DIFFERENT & DIFFERENT SPECIFIC DIAGNOSES!?!? C-PTSD wouldn’t exist, right? It would just be called STRESS, & ANXIETY, right?”
& she took a step back & looked away for a second, thought about what I just said & nodded of like “wow, never thought about that”. That right there gave her a different perspective & understanding.
YES, they have a lot of the same symptoms & feelings. BUT there is a DIFFERENCE (& I am NOT minimizing those illnesses), but C-PTSD, we have ALL those diagnoses, those feelings & physical, emotional/mental symptoms & the INTENSITY & the living in 24/7 FEAR & FIGHT OR FLIGHT MODE & SO much more we deal & live with, THERE ARE DIFFERENCES (yes, similarities), in the “STRESS, SEVERE ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, PANIC ATTACKS” diagnoses people try to say & compare to Complex PTSD.
Please,
Google depression.
Google anxiety.
Google panic attacks.
GOOGLE COMPLEX PTSD.
& after you do, let me know what y’all think about this post & what I experienced & said! I would LOVE to hear everyone’s advice, opinions & personal & similar stories & share with this community!!
We have to share so we can help others with coping mechanisms, different POSITIVE ways of thinking & perspectives & views. That one “idea”, “thought”, etc. might just help someone gain more understanding, knowledge, encouragement from us & hear something different that just clicks with them and it gives them the STRENGTH & CONFIDENCE they need/we all need & help them and everyone to gain a VOICE!
