Analogy: My Ptsd Feels Like...

[Changing4Best]

One thing I do is listen to music. It soothes my soul. It really helps. I also read a lot. I get buried in each book so deeply that my PTSD is obliterated by my reading. My favorite reading is biographies. The truth is always more interesting than fiction!

PTSD feels like living in a popcorn popper.

My PTSD feels like...I'm falling down the rabbit hole.

To me PTSD feels like I'm stuck in huge hole 50 ft down underground. I can see the light above and hear people enjoying life, but I am stuck cold and struggling to at the bottom of the trench. As I am down there people throw things at me that remind me of the trauma I imagine and have experienced. Something I wish will go away...but won't because I am trapped and have no escape.

Like my brain is always thinking of new ways to embarrass me and every new way is worse than the last robbing me of my dignity and confidence

a monster is hovering over me. Permanently.

My past gobbling up my future!

Pretty accurate

My PTSD feels like both a blessing and a curse. It is a curse in that it causes me a lot of struggli...

I hope I come to see my issues in the same light as you I like the positivity in fighting it

I don't like that I was traumatized and am disabled with PTSD and severe depression, but fighting it and working to improve myself and my quality of life, is part of what shaped me into a self-actualizing person...at any rate, despite all the struggle and heartache, facing up to the abuse that I suffered was the best thing I ever did....for me......and that is a positive thing...in a sense a blessing.

"My PTSD Feels Like..."

...I'm in a mental wheelchair standing in front of lots and lots of stairs and everyone is passing by me without asking to help because nobody can see it.

But there are days when I feel like one of those awesome people from the Murderball Rugby team, ha! Still in a wheelchair but bad ass, funny and not giving up!
If you haven't seen the documentary "Murderball" I highly recommend it! :happy:

Like I need help but no one is around.

What my PTSD feels like.. I would swear every thing I hold dear and every red cent to my name that the organs in my body are so exhausted that they're seconds from shutting down.. Yet my brain is hyperactive. Soaking up and draining the rest of my functions so it can better transmit the pain of my past.
