What does PTSD FEEL like to you?

[InsertCoinsHere]

Thank you all for sharing a bit of your story to help me with mine. As I read back I recognize how badly I was struggling when I posted this.

I thought I responded already, but I apologize as I don’t see it!

Things were pretty dark and scary for me and I thought I had completely lost it. I turned here hoping to find somebody who understood my experience.

This video was shared with me, and it moved me to tears. All of a sudden this was real for me. I’m sure many of you relate to this too :

I’m working on acceptance and then compassion with my experience this week - and I feel less alone in this journey now.

I hope that you all find comfort <3

Thank you again!

Thank you for the video I will watch later tonight when I am free.

I recommend hanging around this forum and asking as many questions as you like. There are many experienced and wise people here that have really supported me with understanding, healing and moving forward. All the best.

I am often asking myself why I can't feel. I have always wanted to understand what "feel" ...feels like. I know that it is different for everyone. I have always considered myself hollow inside.

I liked the video, the idea of a lost day. That describes how I feel when I can't get anything accomplished. I'm so glad you posted and I hope you stay and share with us.

I have always wanted to understand what "feel" ...feels like.

I used to be this. I went everyday to the thread "What are You Feeling Today, and really worked on it. Eventually I was able to identify a feeling. It takes a long time to get well, but you can get well.

I makes me feel animal in a constant fight to understand myself so i dont act out. It makes me feel horrible and worthless. It makes me feel the solution is to die and let go.

It makes me undeserving to breathe.
It makes me lie to people telling them i am ok and i doing not bad.

I dont like lying. When i tell the truth of how i feel people dissappear on me.

I rally my inner flame daily to not die off. It is tiring.
