A lack of information leads to stress. I got told nothing in Iraq the whole time I was there. If you're low down you dont need to know. If you dont know what the dangers are, you dont know when you can relax.
Could too much information also do the same?
Essentially doesn’t this all boil down to mindset of the present moment?
@@sgu02nsc66 too much information is better than no information, atleast with too much information, you can prioritise what you remember and have more awareness of what is going on around you. But with no information I'd feel the need to be switched on all the time.
@@MrFriendlyCsgoContent fair enough
I have failed the bac exam to enter uni when I was 17, then failed it the second time cuz I was terribly traumatised by the first ine, the 3rd time I had with excellent marks(you bet) but I ended up having PTSD, panic attacks, insomnia and the whole lot. Probably because I didn't know how to stop thinking about my exam 24/7. I believe today that to be able to step in and out of that bubble described by Ant is a skill and might even be taught at school.
Having worked in very demanding hospitality roles or other high pressure situations where you need to be ON 100% , then stepping away coming down a few gears, resetting, and potentiall going again as fresh as the first time. Great clip.
Bubble fuckin bubbles then bubbles then bubbles and bubbles
That bubble bursts eventually. When it bursts you always have that anxiety for no reason at all. I have ptsd but not from a military background.
I describe to people who ask about It, that it's like losing your laptop or phone and it's very important to you, that you feel anxiety for a while but then get over it. Well imagine waking up everyday feeling that anxiety for no reason at all apart from your ptsd and depression. I hid it since 1993 and tried to be "normal" to the people around me. Then 3 yrs ago it got too much and I did the stupid and tried to take my life. I got counselling and medication ( setraline). It has turned my life around. But I have spoke to soldiers and they say there is a stigma in the arm forces about ptsd as it's seen as a weakness. Well don't hide and be ashamed of it cause it's not a weakness at all we all meet our breaking point eventually by computing in our brains differently in events to others. so get help if you notice changes like nightmares flashbacks feeling anxious. Or even wee changes in yourself. Don't hide like I did cause it was very dark times for me. Get help.
Same bro I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 18 and I'm no soldier but its just life that has fucked me up and I have lived in fear and still do sometimes but I am trying and that's all I can do.
Just keep moving forward and learn and then move forward some more till you can laugh at the devil and say not today.
My favorite quote is "what do we say too death? Not today"
PTSD is more complex than described here. It isn’t simply straight forward burnout or fear. It is also about seeing or experiencing horrific things that are hard for the human brain to process, which often get buried. Can also be related to guilt and mismatch of actions with self image, e.g. a soldier accidentally killing civilians or seeing the family react to the deaths of enemy combatants. Can also be from vehicle accidents and close bereavements.
burnout or fear is just a simple way of explaining all of those issues. There's no way he or any SAS operator can go into detail about what goes on in a mission. Trying to explain to the public about what goes on in theses war zones is pointless. They will never understand.
He's not a psychotherapist but it's he's understanding of it and ways of dealing with it. I wouldn't dismiss something though cause they don't have the right credentials. Stay safe & well. 😆
I remember seeing a study video where they did brainscans on Vietnam Vets and found that the ones that were suffering from severe PTSD had clearly physical changes in parts of their brain that were not normal. More effort needs to be put into these studies because Life is Traumatic...
PTSD is as complicated or as simple as you make it. Just like with most things.
Alan Lee from what I’ve heard most soldiers who had severe PTSD it originated from them having trouble with not just what they saw and or experienced, but what they DID.
Ant and his bubbles is all well and good but he is one person with one set of experiences. He has his opinions and that’s fine. He talks about Foxy having burnout but I’ve seen interviews where foxy also talks about the dark side of having killed ppl in front of their family members and that clearly negatively effected him on some deep level that he had trouble coming to terms with.
Watch ‘Wartorn’ that’s a serious doco about war ptsd.
Ant is simply cooler than life
He really is!
Thank you/
That makes a lot of sense
Ant is wise, the bubble idea is really good. Offloading too.
Very much so! Don't know if I agree on PTSD solely being long term, but then again, he never said one serious incident isn't a cause of PTSD. I like the bubble analogy, it applies fantastically to the emergency services. If you're called to a house where the owner hasn't been seen for 3 weeks, and is possibly dead, you go in with your mind pre-prepared, you know there's a significant possibility of discovering the deceased home owner, so when it happens, it's not a shock.
I've seen the bubble go badly wrong too... a VERY experienced Paramedic at work was called to a patient who'd been hit by a high speed train. The aftermath of that is truly horrendous, Paramedics are rarely exposed to trauma like that... he created the bubble, but after spending an hour searching for remains, he let the bubble slip. Had he found the patient shortly after arriving on scene he would have been a lot better off. He said it was the sudden shock of unexpectedly finding a very recognisable body part that got to him, he just wasn't prepared at that particular second to see anything.
I've experienced similar, after checking up on a 21 year old patient who was brought in unconscious after not waking up, and clearly had some sort of serious neurological problem. My crew mate and I weren't prepared to see her in a persistent vegetative state, having not been able to find out anything about her condition before seeing her. She was semi aware, and reacted to seeing us by crying, which again, caught us totally off guard. If you've got that bubble created at the right moment, you're a lot more resilient to negative experiences.
It's not a literal "I'm not thinking about anything else"... it's something civilians struggle to understand. When you get that MDT (Mobile Data Terminal) message of "Patient locked in bathroom with petrol and knife, wants to set self on fire", you have to create that bubble where you can work effectively. You then get the ability to leave the bubble and go home to your housemates/cat/partner without any negative effects. The bubble is a good thing!
how do i imagine the bubble? little more detailed pls if anyone knows
That's why he's managed to make it special forces
How do you "step out of it though". It's easy to say just step out of it but how??
He’s got a great agent. They’ve marketed him really well.
5-10 year window, then you’ll hardly ever see him.
But he knows that because he’ll be multi millionaire by then 😉👌🏻
Bitter
LochVids bitter? How? I’m commending him mate. I’m just talking about the realities of showbiz
How many times did he say bubble?
His favourite chocolate bar is Aero
His voice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
..toil and trouble
bubble
Ermmm chronic burnout isn't PTSD , you can be fine for 15 yrs and it hit you , Ant isn't a therapist but I get he is trying to explain it , PTSD is a clear memory with smells and sounds yrs later , also anxiety you can't switch off from , there is a theory that memories get burnt on to the short term memory amd never transfer to the long term memory
BUbbLe
Funny stuff.......when ya get tired of 86 nd people.......LOL.
Christ!! No wonder all West Ham fans are nutters!!!
There's nothing wrong with West Ham fans...
