"I Don't Know How to Move On From This": Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
If a traumatic event impacts your life profoundly, you might be experiencing PTSD. It’s not about being "weak"; it's a natural, though often debilitating, response to an abnormal experience. Common signs include unwanted intrusive memories, vivid flashbacks, and disturbing nightmares. You might also avoid anything reminding you of the trauma, feel constantly anxious or on guard, experience emotional detachment, or have trouble sleeping. These symptoms can significantly interfere with your daily life, making it challenging to work, maintain relationships, or feel safe and in control.
