Hello everyone,
I’m glad to be here with people who experience the same thing as me. I wonder why I didn’t do this in first place the first time I found out that I had trauma. I found out In March/April 2014 and I wrote something about trauma but it came from my experience and a little bit of research.
I want to write another article about Trauma/PTSD, but this time I want to hear from all of you who who’d like to share their stories with me. I’ve been dealing with this for 5 years and I can’t say that it has been an easy journey for me. The purpose of this is to give a little bit of insight and raise more awareness for people that this thing is real.
Invisible scar destroys people more than any visible wound. And it’s not us battling with guns and tanks in a battle field, we’re dealing with a war within ourselves every single day and we have to deal with it for God knows when we will heal. Everyday we’re capturing photographs inside our brain and subconsciously we’re making our own little movie in our own head. And the saddest thing, is the person doing it will never realize the footprints they leave in our lives. And the worse thing is if it’s accepted as “normal”.
As a part of this group, some of us may know by now that trauma isn’t what’s wrong with us, it’s what happened to us. Would you help me by answering some of these questions for me? I would contact each one of you personally if it’s gonna be used as part of my research, and I will share the link with you.
1. What was the trigger of your trauma? Did you experience second or third incident that causes another trauma to you? (Example: child abuse, abandonment, verbal abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, etc).
2. Do you know why did it happen or how could it happen in first place?
3. What was your weapon of choice as an escapade?
4. What was it like when you experience it first time? Could you elaborate?
5. What are the symptoms that you experience from having trauma?
6. Did you experience any disability from your trauma?
7. What about other areas of your life, what are the impact that it has left on you?
8. If you’ve been dealing with this trauma for several years, psychologically speaking, what are the after-effect that it has left on you? (Example: if one of the causes is related to love/relationship, you’d become paranoid and avoidant.)
9. How did you cope with it?
10. How long did you have to deal with it before you go to the doctor and get yourself checked?
11. What about your support system? Did you have a strong support system when you have to deal with it first time?
12. What did you learn about people and yourself from this experience? If you have two or more experiences, please share with us.
13. If you could say something to someone who did it, what would it be?
14. If you’re a woman who go through this, what would you say to other women/younger generation from your experience? And vice versa if you’re a male.
15. How long did it take before you finally gain control over yourself/your life?
16. Has any of you found a way to deal with it? Could you say that you’re healed by now? How long did it take for you to get to that stage?
17. What was the rudest thing someone said about you or did from having to deal with the symptoms of trauma?
18. Would you consider yourself as an HSP?
19. How old are you? I would like to know the ranges of age for people dealing with trauma.
20. Lastly, are you a male or female?
Apologize if I have a lot of questions to ask, but suit yourself. I hope that we could learn one thing or two from each other from this. And it could be useful for people in this group as well. I would also learn from people in this group who are more evolved to find a better way to deal with it, because for me knowledge is key whether to treat people better or to understand each other.
Many thanks in advance.
