I have experienced this from narcissistic abuse. I have to keep reminding myself that, “I have the right to be happy!”
You are happy and don’t ever let nobody tell you otherwise.
You do have the right to be happy. PTSD and narcissistic abuse go hand in hand. It’s part of the reason I would develop PTSD. You matter brother. Namaste.
yea im still abused by my brother and i have 3 out of 4 ptsd so i have ptsd
Slay!
Same!!, its a new life once free from criticism from an X . 🎉🎉
I sat face to face with a Psychiatrist , he told me I do not have Bipolar was misdiagnosed 25 years ago
What i have is complex truma
Whenever she said “you’re doing great.” I started crying. Thank you for this.❤❤
Well jeeze, I’ve got ‘em all.
And??? Now you know for free!😮
Me too😢
@@allinaday9882 lol, I have all these symptoms and that’s what I was thinking … boy, I saved a lot of time and money.
She forgot the part where you need to have those symptoms for over 30 days otherwise it’s called acute stress disorder which can continue and becomes PTSD
bro got traumatized so hard he turned into skeleton💀
Giving a so called face to the illness, so helpful to people suffering and their family, friends and love ones ❤️
Woww I didn’t know this feeling of knowing you are not going to make it that long in life was related to ptsd.. Thank you for raising awareness about mental health ✨
I had ptsd from an existential crisis at age 17. And I had ALL 4 of these symptoms. Maybe even 1 extra that’s not mentioned in this video.
WONDERFUL examples !, great straight to the point , definitely condensed way of describing..
I have PTSD from being in two really bad accidents in the span of six months, and for about four to five months I was petrified of cars and refused to get in one so I walked and took the bus everywhere. It’s a lot better now but I can’t help but always be nervous when driving
We need more doctors like you? I cannot get one who really wants to help me. They want to give me medicine and that affects my stomach. 😢
There is a world wide emergency caused by the increasing shortage of both doctors and mental health providers. Dr. Marks believes in giving medication. Are you new to her video show? The mental health of our world is in crisis. All medications have some side effects. Many mental health meds cause weight gains up to 60 pounds easily. No medically trained mental health worker is up for beginning with a patient that refuses all meds. Look for alternative practicers, in your phone book. Chinese , Indian etc. all use specific herbs , spices and aromas. Maybe meditation and spiritual work. Good luck.
Don’t take that shit! Pray for healing, I know it’s hard but there’s no other way.
Hey your videos are really helpful, Can you talk about cptsd. How is it different from PTSD?
Add the interpersonal factor
CPTSD affects/changes the brain more than PTSD. CPTSD comes from a bunch of traumas trough childhood, PTSD can originate from one event. PTSD may fade faster than CPTSD. I am not sure if CPTSD can ever go away.. but you can do stuff to take the edge off. Like routines, trying to live as healthy as possible, therapy and perhaps medication.
@@Linda-jl5lx thanks for clearing it. Can you list some symptoms or things that usually go unnoticed with regards to cptsd, apart from having no emotional control and sleeping/appetite habit changes, etc. Also what causes cptsd, what scenario could one be in to have cptsd ?
@@raulaleman2277
Thanks for replying, i don't fully understand what you mean by interpersonal factor.
@Linda At what age does childhood end?
I struggle with the second and last one. I was molested in a car at age 7. I was beat up in a car from past relationship. I never felt safe. My parents abused me horribly. Yesterday, I had an outburst in a car. I beat myself up mentally afterwards.😭
I’m so sorry that happened to you!
You have a right to heal & be happy. Blessings
@@viviand9493 , Thank you! Healing is hard.
Bless your heart in JESUS' mighty name.🙏🏽❤️
I told my Anxiety & Depression Clinic therapist, as I sat in the room that I felt someone is going to rush in & kill me.
He was thoroughly annoyed, saying no one is going to do that!
My father sexually abused me at 8 yrs old & I awoke to find my husband dead in our house due to suicide. So forgive me if I don’t like surprises.
Not much of therapist regarding PTSD.
Humans are cruel fuck I hope your alright
I am so sorry!
Holy crap. Those symptoms describe my daily life.
The key is to be the observer of ur thoughts and separate urself from ur emotions
That sounds like dissociation... but perhaps there's an easier way to feel emotions but not sit in them for too long and letting it pass.
no
Dokes: not even close.
@@allinaday9882 no it's literally part of the treatment for PTSD. I would know, I've been diagnosed. Unfortunately there's no cure. I've been looking into EMDR and it looks promising, but you HAVE to separate yourself from the emotion in order to even realize what your triggers are. Once a neuropathway is created in your brain that results in your limbic system creating a fight or flight response, it's damn near impossible to turn off because it's a subconscious process. The brain is a pattern recognition machine, and once a triggering pattern has been recognized, the brain will utilize the most used "path" to respond.
Mmm my therapist says that's dissociation and not healthy.
I didn’t know I was going to be called out like that 💀✋
Well explained doc
i’m questioning how bad my trauma is i’m pretty sure i have trauma.. here’s the story… advice is welcome!
i was around 8 when me and my mum came home one night and found our front door smashed and glass everywhere my mum grabbed me and shoved me in the car. we drove a little down the street and called the police.. they didn’t come…(someone did but the police came 3 days later!!) we stayed in a hotel that night my dad came too as he was at work when me and my mum got home we stayed in the hotel 3 days and when we had to go home i was scared and cried begging not to go back but we couldn’t stay in a hotel forever so we went home.. i wouldn’t go anywhere by myself for years EVEN THE BATHROOM!!
i’m now a teenager and this fear still looms behind me. if i hear any unusual noises i hide.. if i need to go somewhere threw the house i run worried someone is there.. if i see a weird shadow that slightly resembles a human in the house i runaway to my safe spot and hide for a good 5 minutes.. i sleep fully under the pillows and blankets so i won’t be seen..
writing this makes me realise how bad this sounds 😅
It sounds like someone broke into your house, which can be traumatic and is normal to have a reaction of fear and/ot panic, and worry that there might be someone there. Although it is unlikely they stayed, your reaction is a normal worry!
That does sound like some PTSD symptoms too, have you tried taking to a therapist or looking into some help for it?
You might even have some luck if you look into EMDR and some self therapy sessions, if this was only a one time event and not connected to other trauma!
Only you can define how bad it is in your life, how much it affects you but it sounds like you might need some help processing those thoughts and coming back to the world feeling a safe place for you, which you deserve to feel. ❤
Sending love and care!
A great share & definitely helps to talk to a therapist about it.
I just figured out at 35 on christmas day that i have ptsd. I always thought that you had to have a violent event happen to you
Is there any studies of children who have grown up with PTSD and how it affects learning and memory? ive grown up with PTSD since I was diagnosed at five.
Then it's called CPTSD, if you google it you might find answers
@@Linda-jl5lx Thanks, but that's not what I was asking. I was asking if there have been any studies involving stress, learning, and memory in children. I'm not a doctor or a medical student so I figured someone like Tracy could explain if there have been any in layman's terms as some studies can be detailed.
No. There are several on YT. Too much stress kills brain cells. Trauma redesign the brain to work less well. Video and book by
@@Linda-jl5lx didn't ask
I check locks in the middle of the night and doors and make sure things are off.
But I do that because I grew up in an environment that was full of abuse.
Can't tell you how much this video put things in perspective for me. I thought I was just ldepressed or anxious but I feel like I'm out of control and can't get better. But I've been through stuff I've tried to forget and run from and I see this video which sounds like I'm being described down to a T maybe this is where I start to heal
What Goin to happen if we don't treat ptsd
My father had all that from SOLOMON ISLAND'S WW2
I’m sorry your father went through such trauma. 🇦🇺
I have CPTSD. Yeah.
I’m 3 out of 4. Wow! I knew something was wrong with me.
Yes, thanks❤
I have ptsd and I got all the symptoms 😭
I agree three of four of it
I have another new reason to be on the edge. I can’t wait to to leave this hemisphere..
So helpful.
i've C-PTSD, but there is also some solid PTSD too. It the solid PTSD revolves around being betrayed/exploited, so i develop avoidance of trusting and talking to new people.
its a rough life to "live". i dont want to suffer from it anymore but im not going to take medications for it either. i dont know if this is a part of it or not, but most of my issues stem from certain people (abusive father for instance) and ive always felt that these, i guess they are feelings, but i dont really know what they are, would go away after his death. by the time i was away from the problem and he passed however i was meet with another "adversary" and the cycle has just continued and honestly gotten worse. now i feel even more isolated and vigilant. im 34 years old and have always been in "fight or flight" mode and its still happening. i tense up, i pace around, staring out the window waiting for danger to show up, i overthink, i worry about things that havent happened as if they have, i plan for an altercation at anytime, i have nightmares, i have what i think are panic attacks, i hallucinate sometimes (something evil charging at me), ive spent my life trying to protect people and that meant never letting potential romantic partners anywhere near me emotionally or even physically.i never wanted anyone to be close enough to see what i lived in or worse get hurt themselves. ive found myself comparing my life to one depicted in the biblical story of Job. thinking why was i put on this earth? just to be tortured, and have everything that i worked for be taken from me. ive begun having thoughts and visions of me "ending it" (dont want to do this. i won't do this), but i see it in my mind happening and cant help but to feel that feeling of worthlessness. before with my father, the threat was inside the house so all i had to do to escape was just go outside leaving the danger behind. now the threat is outside so i am forced to stay inside and that has made things way more difficult to deal with. having nowhere to go and really nobody to go anywhere with either. im left to fight my own mind alone.
i experienced a near death drowning in a frozen lake and i was waking up just before gettind my self under the ice .... know each time i fall asleep and i see myself trying to not letting myself go i awake the same way
Hi there. I know this in normal situations. Had a rough upcoming and would like to know how cptsd is different. Because i had no live before trauma hit me and without it. It have been a constant part in my live. Now I'm in a safe place. I've created one 🥳
But the symptoms like intrusive thoughts, nightmares, emotional flashbacks, feeling on edge, experiencing freeze reaction very easy, what makes it difficult to set boundary's what makes me feel taken advantage off very regular because if something deserves a no, i go numb. Parts of my brain shut down. It's so hard to differentiate what's connected to the present situation and what's old, emotional flashback like. It's so hard in parenting as my child nags, i say no. Stop it. Three times and he still continues. Then i feel that angry hurt or annoyed and not seen and crossed over that i react with freeze/shut down mix. He thinks that's funny? Stays close nags further and when the brake from the freeze losen the grip... All the energy in myself makes it very hard to parent him, to behave and react appropiatly to the present situation. I learned to somehow have a hold on my oldest brain parts that see: Annoying, activating old emotions, not respecting boundary, smaller, weaker = fight him down! Cptsd and motherhood is a marathon with concrete boots 😅 Help? Please ☺️🌻
Maaaan I have all of these and it really sucks fr especially the nightmares/night terrors
my partner and I both have PTSD. It gets really intense at times.
I have PTSD and all these symptoms it’s horrible.
Yup! Sounds about right!
after hearing the funky town gore sound i got ptsd. My sympathy is very high and i could not handle the fact that someone was being tortured
I think my friends has ptsd bc she literally said she never wants to listen or be reminded of the song country road bc it was played at her grandads funeral
Sometimes the events pop into my mind which i also get flashbacks Of the event i always think somethimg bad well happen i get flashbacks along with the memories when i get triggered by something
I have it and the worst part is it can take away all your emotions. I havent laughed or cried once in the last 10 years.
I was diagnosed with ptsd but honestly it seems more like ADD or at least I relate more to it because of my mild cognitive dysfunction.7
Well I have ptsd for sure then
There is a lot of overlap of symptoms of ADD and PTSD, some research even suggests that people on the ADHD spectrum are 4 times more likely to develop PTSD than those who are not
I'm feeling like Ash Ketchum here... I've caught them all. I saw a reddit post that made me dive into what PTSD is. For the first time in my life, I now know there's a name for what has been happening to me for decades indifferent stages, and it isn't normal. I thought it was normal.
wow, I have ptsd, and no one ever told me that the feeling of “I’m going to die soon” or “I’m not going to live a long time” is associated w ptsd, I thought I was going crazy
I had got jumped in public buy five people during a Christmas parade I am always on edge especially when I'm in public I used to have panic attacks one time somebody was knocking on the door and I started to have a panic attack and I was in fight a flight mode
I have one and two cause since fourth grade so much has been happening like divorce parents self harm fights and more
Tank you
Well, I definitely have PTSD.
Thanku help to see threw pdsd eyes
I Qualify!
yeah this sounds like me
I feel the same way all the time
I shoot, i had PTSD since i was a kiddo. I really though i wants gonna live past 18 and was always on edge, i really though something bad was going to happen.
Ironically I wasn't wrong, my environment was very chaotic but now I'm slowly healing. I had to separate myself from the family members that kept hurting me.
I still can feel bad but i remind myself that its in the past and I'm now safe.
I have all these after a VERY traumatic experience..... And I'm only 13
I got stabbed at a young age me being 11 right now I’m talking about when I was 6 I got stabbed in my head whenever things are unexpectedly coming towards my head now I tend to be nervous or scared I don’t know if I have ptsd my friend said I probably do but I just wanted to check if that’s really the case
My dad was in the military for 4 years and he’s had PTSD for 3 years and it’s hard to go into restaurants because screaming babies like also shops and stuff and he always talks to himself quietly and he zones out quiet a bit
Intrusion at all times of day every day and avoidance
What’s the solution outside of taking drugs?
EMDR therapy
@@averybradley5195 any good results?
@@fmone7878 Good results with continued treatment
I have all of this 4 symptom there was a time that I hate looking back at I would call it a “terrible memory” and it pops into my brain at time I don’t want it to then I end up zoning out thinking about cus I can’t stop
PTSD from my childhood, check.
Can you get PTSD from any stressful event? I had an event of an unknown person in my home and I still think and worry about it happening again.
Yes. What you described could be an intrusive thought.
huh that’s very similar to my suspected trauma/ptsd- i was broken into when i was around 7-9 and i’m now a teenager and still struggle to live in that house without constant fear. hiding. running threw the house like a murderer is trying to kill me 😃
@@WillowsWonderTree hi there , the full trauma of this incident is clearly represented in your “Freudian slip” in the second sentence of your comment. “… an event
Now i think i have PTSD
There is never a time someone wants it to or atleast that’s for me
So that explains why this stuff always happens with me...
I have the first symptom, and the 2 symptom
Yikes, I have them all
I checked my lock all night long I stuggel with moving forward
Yes.
I got... PTSD.... 😢 ( I never thought much of it...)
Is there like a cure to it??? I don't wanna feel it anymore :(
My parents won't accept there's something wrong with my mental health i want help but I don't know where to ask for help
I don't know. I have all of these but I don't think what happened is serious enough to cause it.
Who feels bad for the people who has war ptsd after what they have seen 👇
Your videos are helpful thanks 🙏🏻🩷 have a great day
I have ptsd
Yep I have ptsd, due to shrooms.
Interesting that I have all of them 😂 so I just laugh to not cry…
Im on first group my mind randomly pop bad memories molested😢 memories when i am at age 10😢
Well I guess that settles it… I have PTSD
I literally have them all
My wife with cptsd,depression,covert narcissism, I knew about everything except the narcissism I found out about it later my lord I'm not trying to be mean you cannot be in a relationship with someone who refuses treatment for this stuff even if they get treatment you may still not be able to be with them.
I HAVE THE LAST 2😭
Welp!!!! ✋️
Same
how to fix it
Yup yup 0 doubts of my PTSD /lh
*sighs*
Would you be so kind to explain complex PTSD and make sure that people understand how debilitating it is? /srs /gen I wish people could understand... 😢
Lluvia: Look up the video and book by Dr. Bessel van
der Kolk. The video and book is “The body keeps score.”
@@allinaday9882 yes! I red it. I didn't mean to ask her to explain it for me, more to other people in my life who don't understand how debilitating it is and who aren't gonna read the book.
I'll check the video. Thanks!
I literally have all of the symptoms-
Yikes ….. I’ve had multiple guns pulled out on me attempt home invasion thought I was gonna get into a shoot out and was completely ready to die/kill and had an uncle murdered and saw the aftermath of it when I was 14. I avoid large gatherings of people refuse to go to stores unless I have to don’t trust anyone make sure I’m always aware of my surroundings keep my conceal carry firearm ready and by me everyday don’t sleep well at all and always concerned for my safety and family’s safety almost 24/7 non of these things where provoked just very bad luck wrong place wrong time situations ……. Never seen a doctor for any of this and just deal with it cause I’m afraid they will think I’m crazy for feeling this way or lying and don’t like explaining these things to people I don’t know for the things I’ve experienced cause I know it’s a lot. Idk why I decided to put this here but here you go. Think about it a lot but keep pushing through without even really talking about it or telling people how I actually feel 24/7 hopefully maybe this helps someone idk how or why
Advice:Go to the doctor bro dont think what they will say its their JOB to help you
you should really go to a therapist man
Accurate
I ended up here from being a Christian.
What are you saying?
@@macywood4619 I think Eternal is saying religion caused him/her to have mental illness. I think religion plays a part in the mental health crisis we have.
I think I might have the first and third one
when you have all four on different occassion 😭😭😭😭😭💞
Bro I think I have ptsd......
I have ptsd I suspect but I don’t know why I have it. It’s like I’ll just say it this memory I just can’t erase. I’ll make it short. I am in love with a girl since 2018 I was about 12 at the time I am 17 still in love so I’m bisexual. She turned me bi. And we were bestfriends. So me and her started becoming really close she depended on me a lot but I still never let my guard down but somehow I did cuz she needed me. But she would always date guys and it would get older and older she was 13 okay and the guys she would date went from 12 to 15 than to 17… I’m 17 rn I would never date a 13 year old… she would never do anything sexual that time. I was the person who introduced her to that word… and my other friend was also yk puberty so like she would say oh try this try that (sexual stuff) and my crush did it and she found it exciting. And she is really pretty. Hee parents are strict ASIAN parent who suspect she goes out with boys. She doesn’t all the time but she did right. Ok past forward I confessed to her because i couldn’t handle seeing older guys . See I wasn’t jealous I swear because she dated other guys I did not mind because it was normal age but older guys… it’s grooming. But our mutual friend had a older bf so thought it was alright and always said it’s alright. And she said it’s okay. So on my birthday she kept saying it would go great and I’ve never had a bday wity my friends I was turning 14 so it’s smth new so I was excited but my crush failed last second. And I saw her phone it was a older guy … almost 18… she’s still 14… 2020 I remember. Ok background info in 2019 she would never post very revealing things but in 2020 she started posting sexual pics and would send us her n0des also. Which yk means she sends him too… she actually talked to 4 older guys by than… but the last guy let’s call him S I watched my crush like S he was 18 and my crush was 14 he started talking to her and playing PUBG with her. (The game I made hee start playing with me) and onfe when me and her played PUBG she added him. I suspected … tbeu were flirting… and on my bday I realise yea she is dating him. And lied to me. And even my friends lied to me. On my bday she left me. She started showing her body. He was grooming her. I realised. Everyone but me THOIGHT it was ok. Than one day I found out. She had the s word.. withoit protection with him. My innocent friend crush who I introduce s word who knew nth. Had s word wiygjout protection. And did A and V and O at 14…. Yk yea… then after him 1 year relationship yea… she did wity 2 other guy… they’re also older guys… and now at skl she is always sl….T shamed….
When I found out that I stopped being friends with her ofcourse cuz it was so painful…. She chose her bf over me aswell.. on my bday. So we didn’t talk for 2 year. See since primary skl I was the “most dirty minded” one but after this incident. I used to be able to watch PH with my friends now … I can’t. I hate jokes that relates anything wity men or s word. I don’t talk to men. I’m bisexual yea but I can’t like men. I can’t see picture of men’s … I can’t look at girls naked. I can’t see anyone naked. I can’t even see myself naked. I can’t pee properly poop properly I feel disgusted. I remember the No protection. She used plan B yea… at 14 . In our skl she is the 1st girl that age RO have s word. My innocent bsf. And her chest actually also got bigger she also grew a lil fatter she is still pretty doe but it’s ik the side effect of birth control …. I feel wrong for having ptsd over this. People says it’s not ptsd but. I avoid so much stuff I avoid convos I used to enjoy. I avoid PUBG…. I avoid many things I can’t even mention. I can’t sleep I get nightmares I always get flash backs. It’s so hard for me I cry so much. No one listens to me. Everyone tells me S word is normal. I can’t think it’s normal anymore. She ruined this S word for me.
I know it's been three months but I just wanted to let you know that what you're going through is valid. My loved one also was molested, also my other 3 friends, and bad things (though not as bad) happened to me in childhood as well, which is why I ended up with some amount of gender dysphoria, bc hated being a woman and really wished I were a man, aversion to porn and pretty much anything related to s word. Learning avout the traumas of those close to me just made it worse. I'm 19 now and it still hurts and I keep coming back to those memories as I realised how bad it actually was, not thinking about myself as much, but thinking of those close to me and what they went through.
It hasn't been easy, but I'm getting better, also with the help of psychotherapy. I can look at myself naked in the mirror. I'm not bitter about being a woman anymore. And I became more accepting of s.. in general, though I still can't empathise or comprehend the attraction fully.
Even if I'm never going to be as s......y active as other people are and never will be able to enjoy s.. by itself, I hope I will be able to make love one day, without any of what seems dirty and base.
I'm not saying that this will necessarily happen to you, because each person is different, but I want to let you know that if you try hard and turn for help, there's a hope that it will get better. And I wish it with all my heart♥️
So I just have one but I don’t wanna talk about it
I got two
I just figured out i have PTSD
26:47 I call upon you; Alphaaaaaa
_Here I am_ 😹
I had this weird thing happen to me I used to be addicted to cocaine I seen a video where people were doing lines and it made me feel like I was high even tho I was sober is this ptsd or am I trippin?
I have PTSD 😅
