Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

So important to see. It's not just "all in your head". The brain when it's experienced trauma of one kind of another manifests physical results.
You can actually relive that moment, not just a memory.
Also, being exposed to extreme sounds, like shelling (hence the original term shell shock,) can cause physical damage to the inner ear. Hence the obvious physical balance issues in some of the patients shown. Their brain and the nerves that tell the brain how to balance have been physically damaged by loud explosions. The bones and cavities our bodies use to keep us upright are very delicate. So even if there's no obvious physical damage on first observation, there is often internal damage that causes severe side effects. There is no "fixing" this type of damage currently. Hence the "treatment" is mostly helping people get used to their new reality. The human brain is amazing in how you can learn to adjust to your new reality.
When I was first diagnosed professionally with PTSD I was told that my particular variety (war) was caused because the part of the brain that initiates the fight or flight chemical response was so used to being switched on that my brain forgot how to shut it off. Everyone at some point has felt an "adrenaline dump", the thump in your chest when it feels like it skipped a beat, caused by a good scare. That is the fight or flight response. Now imagine that never really shutting off. That is what we live with every day. Thankfully very few of us experience extremes of PTSD like those poor gentlemen in the video did...at least not yet.
@@masc2fighter
Until there's more information, it remains to be seen why some develop PTSD and some not. It could be their psyches are "weaker," or it could be extenuating circumstances that would result in PTSD for anyone.
@@Un1234l If you watch the Iceman hitman interview it kind of explains why some of us are so good in combat compared to others that aren't so great in combat. I enjoyed every minute I was deployed, it's when I felt most alive and had no remorse for the rabid animals that had to be put down. I also don't connect with people on a personal level like other people, but I do mimic the emotions... If they cry I cry, they laugh I laugh but just something I can't explain.
a couple of times the girls say something translated as "it's not over until it's over" but this is a mistranslation. They meant "even though the war itself is over, it's not over for these people"
Thank you!
I got that, thanks
Yeah, text lacks all tone and emphasis making it harder to figure out the context of the statement. Because there are two different usages of "over" with entirely different meanings.
I understood what they meant by that...context ya know?
Thank you
PTSD is a really difficult condition. It's most often associated with veterans but it can arise as a result of any traumatic experience. Victims of terrorism, refugees, survivors of sexual assault, abuse, child sexual abuse, natural disasters, gang violence, victims of hate crimes, accidents, homicide, etc can all suffer from PTSD. Triggers can be sudden and random as well. I had a friend who was triggered by stuffed penguins. You'd think it's a silly trigger to have but she experienced childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her father and there was a stuffed penguin in the corner of her bedroom where it would happen. In the United States fireworks are a common and serious trigger for many veterans. Often people, especially veterans, struggle to cope with the symptoms. The USA's VA is honestly piss poor. It abandons many veterans after they return from war with severe trauma. You see very high rates of homelessness among veterans as well as substance use, like alcohol or street drugs. It's a way to try and self medicate. PTSD can vary in severity as well. Some people might be able to keep a stable job and normal life with only occasional flare ups. Others have such severe trauma that they can't even function and do basic tasks cause their mind is still in survival mode. People have a lot of misconceptions and misunderstanding about it so it's always nice to see more people learn.
Thank you for putting into words what I can’t, I have complex ptsd due to very, very severe childhood trauma and abuse
right now I can barely get through the day.
Sorry for over-sharing but I need to say it out loud to someone
@@kmwilliam186 please never say sorry for telling people about your trauma. I know it must've been hard but I hope you're in a better place. Stay safe.
My late husband had it from Viet Nam. I've seen him dive to the ground hearing a loud noise. He had troubles with popcorn popping. He had nightmares.
After he died & I moved I found hidden "spears" he carved from thick twigs.
The person who commented is correct. Trauma stems from more things than war. Music, smells sounds, weather a lot of things can trigger ptsd.
thank you, i have cptsd from childhood trauma/abuse, i hate how it's often thought of as only being a thing for veterans.
@@IlmurOsp I hope you're fine now
It’s nice to see that awareness about mental disorders are being spread .
Especially Koreans talking about it because mental health in Asia is considered “taboo” and “all in your heads”
Not only mental health in general but also the effects of war in soldiers and civilians

My cousin had ptsd since he is a veteran in the marine corps when he came back he was still in that soilder mindset. Everyday I cried and told him “it’s me your cousin , you can trust me I’m family” that’s when he would hug me hard not letting me go
PTSD isn’t a joke
I’m currently deployed since I’m in the Spanish marines hopefully I don’t suffer like my cousin.
Muchas gracias por tu servicio . Espero que vuelvas sano y salvo. thank you for your service I hope you get back safe and sound

What’s really messed up about the WW1 stuff is that shell shock was poorly understood so some were tried for cowardice and then executed. Thanks OSSC for educating people about what PTSD is really about 🙏🏽
Do you have a source for that? I’d interested in learning about that issue more in depth
:(( yeah i heard that
WHAT?! How come I've never heard about that?!
@@imstupidbut1603 I mean there is many reports from journals back then saying so

Probably because you didn’t look.
Govt hides the horrors of war.
My father and grandfather both suffered from PTSD. My grandfather served in WW1, and it was called Shell Shock, my father joined the Merchant Marines at age 15 at the height of WW2. As a young adult, I can remember hearing dad cry out I his sleep for his older sister, who raised him, and was also a nurse in the Second World War. It breaks my heart to think of my father in so much fear and emotional pain.
My grandfather also had this. Crying out of his sleep. It’s so sad and we have no idea how bad it feels like.
Merchant Marines aren't Marines, they don't fight.
@@cyclone8974, I never said my father fought in the war. He helped with the movement of fuel. Does that make it all better Mr/Ms Know-it-all?
**warning mental and political triggers** when it came to my grandfather's ptsd I was the only one he would trust and it made his 7 kids (my mom included obv. ) very jealous to the point of cutting our communication off. the last time I saw him he said to say goodnight bc he knew he was about to die. (20 min later) before I left he told me don't trust anyone in power and he actually predicted trump's presidency. He said a man not of power but of influence would come and shake the balance of power. government and civilian. He would be named a mad man and shadowed the rest of his life. You must not become a fool and follow the words spoken child this man is no saint, but he is no demon. follow his actions if you do not the country is over. I said yes Sir and asked if he would like my words of truth as well. he replied yes child. I proceeded to tell him about all of his kids and the actions both verbally and physically they had done through their childhood and adult hood. he called them commies when I was done and disowned them immediately. My husband heard/saw what was happening and requested a will check on the spot. the nurses got video and audio recording to assist with revising it in case he passed before it was finished. He struck everyone from it. that was the saddest moment I have ever had and will never get over the look he had as I was saying it and the tone he had when he spoke. Right before I left He said thank you softly and said he wasted so long going through so much pain for no reason. He was holding on bc of the family and didn't need to anymore. He called for the nurse to escort us out after that and I'm assuming he told the other one that he was done but to wait until I was gone since it was so soon after.

There are also non-war reasons for PTSD. Rape victims can also suffer from PTSD as well as anyone who has suffered an assault. The human mind can only accept so much. I can’t imagine the atrocities these poor soldiers saw.
Yeah, this, this, THIS! I used to suffer a lot due to ptsd from being sexually abused as a child plus other traumatic events.
My ptsd symptoms looked very different from these veterans, would be very interesting to see a video where they reacted to some information about ptsd and a few different cases instead of just veterans
@@Illadviced so sorry to hear that, but hope you are okay now or at least in recovery♡
I suffered a lot from ptsd when I was younger because I was sexually assaulted but I'm much better now, it just gives me anxiety when someone talks about sexual assult that isn't me.
@@peachmie1293 so sorry you went through that. 🙁
@@Illadviced it’s so sad that this happens so frequently. I hope you are getting the support from those who care about you. ❤️
"a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight"
@lee yang I just think what they meant by it is many poor people join the military because it comes with many benefits and they’re in a hard place. Also rich people can pay to get out of wars and poor people don’t have to money to do that if they’re drafted.
@@AyDotHam yes! the rich and elite can play around with war like a political pawn; meanwhile, although we don’t exactly have a mandatory draft, virtually all young men (btwn 18-25 yrs or smth) must register for the draft. they’re essentially forced to risk their lives for a war they may or may not not want to fight. and if they survive, they’re the ones that come back with PTSD, injuries etc. they get showered with plenty of praise, but the deep physical, mental and emotional toll war has taken on them and their lives remains unaddressed. ://
Fighting the war is one thing, but the people living in the war zone are also being mentally and physically affected by it too.
@@bora3859 I thought that was what you were saying. I’m not sure why the person thought it was political.
@@bora3859 Exactly!
One of the scary things about ptsd is that even the tiniest things can trigger it, whether they be sounds, words, scents, and so on. I remember reading a comment on a video about the titanic and the comment was about a survivor who went to a sports game and the cheering of other people triggered their ptsd because it reminded them of people screaming on the night the titanic sank.
Yeah.
I got falsely accused of s harassment/assault just before MeToo, and had to endure the global mass hysteria.
In November 2020 when my sister said she now has a new job, and it's a sister chain to my old workplace, my body started reacting. It got teary-eyed and instantly reminded of it. My sister has no idea and I had to hide it, of course, but I could barely keep myself composed. Then I had to leave to recompose myself.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

My brother lives with me for this reason. Just random slight pops sends him off the edge...... It fucking destroys me know he is going through this because of lies from our politicians...... All their greed......................
My dad was in the Army in the Vietnam war. Until he died in 2019 in his 70s, the smallest thing could trigger his PTSD. Something making a loud, fast sound could have him scrambling under the table thinking it was a grenade exploding. Fighter jets flying really low and fast over the house and he would throw himself on the ground believing it was an attack. Mom had to turn off the TV when they were showing scenes from Desert Storm fighting because she saw him sitting in the chair shaking. PTSD is something that never goes away. I believe that is one of the main reasons he asked me not to join the military when I was thinking about it after high school.
PTSD comes in many forms and it wears countless faces. It comes from war, abuse and horrific moments in a person's life. Treat those with a professional diagnoses with compassion and understanding. It goes a long way.
Whenever my friends raise up their hand to stretch or to give me a high five i instantly put my arms infront of my face to protect myself..
@@ajayblake8740 same to you 😊
With what's going on in Afghanistan right now, I'm sure a lot of things are resurfacing more frequently now than ever for these soldiers. :(
@lee yang for one thing what in my statement says I support the war? And sir or ma'am or you if you are binary, don't assume that just because my ID is in korean that I'm not American. I respect soldiers and grateful for their sacrifice. Get off your high horse. You obviously don't read very well. Next time look with your eyes and not with your mouth.
@lee yang bro just leave the chick alone
@lee yang When did they ever blame Biden? They only said they’re sure many of the people in troops will have PTSD. PTSD is common in combat like what has and is happening in Afghanistan.
@lee yang it's 'never said', grammar check please. And why don't you read your previous comment. Before you respond with another idiotic statement.
@lee yang my solution is for you to get some serious therapy because you obviously need it. Let go of the hate man, it's not good.
It’s important to understand that PTSD comes from a vast amount of traumas. Sexual assault, war, loss, etc. and it is one of the most heartbreaking and difficult things anyone can go through. Its living through it in real time but also continuing to relive it for the rest of your life.
If they shared statistics on veteran suicides, they would be so devastated. The transition between military and civilian life is really difficult, particularly for those who have experienced active combat. Some turn to drugs and alcohol to null the pain, while others take their lives. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for post 9/11 veterans.
Yes, you are completely correct. I have seen the drug addiction, alcohol, and what I call "passive" suicide. It differs from the suicide that we all know, in that the person just gives up on life, and does things that will lead to a certain death.
I have PTSD. I'm not a veteran and when I was diagnosed with PTSD I thought they made a mistake and where reading me the results from someone else's file. I didn't know that PTSD can come from literally any trauma. It's been very hard. I don't have many physical symptoms. Sometimes my legs tremble and I sway side to side. Mostly I begin to disassociate and often forget where I am. When I don't know where I am, I feel very scared and alone. I worry that I'm in danger. When this happens, it's very hard to communicate. Like the fear and confusion is so strong it prevents me from opening my mouth to call for help. I also sometimes see people I know aren't there. I'm still learning and trying to heal. It's been about 4 years and i still sometimes feel there's no way out. I'm glad you made this video
I hope and pray that soon you will find healing in you. I hope you feel my support.
This why I love my 7th grade history teacher he showed us videos of shoulders in WW1 with PTSD or Shell Shock in WW1 to our class when learning about the war. He showed us the horrors of war and its sacrifices.
@lee yang I’m not 7th grade. I said I liked my 7th grade history teacher. Yes, I used to be in 7th, but I never said I was still in 7th grade 🤦
@lee yang When did I ever talk about GOP?
@lee yang literally why are you in the comments jumping to conclusions and spewing unrelated stuff?
You had a good teacher.
@@coldwar45 Definitely
PTSD doesn't just come from war though, there are many people who experienced it from extreme abuse or traumatic situations as children or young adults. And there is also C-PTSD which is complex PTSD, what makes it "complex" is that it doesn't come from one event but multiple different types of events. I am a psych major and I chose this field because I was diagnosed with C-PTSD when I was around 10 along with manic depressive disorder
My step dad was drafted into the Vietnam War when he was 17/18 and he didn't fully come to terms with his PTSD until he was in his late 30's/early 40's. He was stabbed, shot, saw some of the worst things imaginable and he had to endure it all because he couldn't go home. When he did get to go home the mother of his eldest son took their kid and ghosted him because she didn't "agree" with the war like he had a *choice* to fight in it. My step dad didn't get to meet him until he was a grown man with a son of his own.
When he married my mom he was in his fifties, my mom in her forties, and I was 7. Growing up, my parents were very upfront with me about his PTSD so I understood every battle scar he had. I understood why he had trouble sleeping through the night or couldn't watch certain war movies. I understood why he cried while talking about his service and losing friends. I understood why we had to be extra careful waking him up because if you did it wrong he might lash out like he's back in the war.
My culture makes it difficult to talk about mental health but from a very young age I knew that my dad wasn't always doing ok. Some days he had bad days and others were good. The best thing you can do for someone with PTSD, in my opinion, is to just let them know that you're there for them no matter what. Sometimes your presence alone can be the most powerful healing moment.
Thank you for reacting to this video 💛
You saw they mentioned he was basket weaving in the one old video. They had many of the victims of shellshock practice basket weaving as it was seen as a way to help them concentrate and work on their motor skills while distracting them with a repetitive task. That's actually where the term "basket-case" came from, which is another way of saying someone is crazy or hysterical.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I thank you for making this video. I appreciate your compassion. PTSD is something so many of us suffer from and it's completely different for everyone. Thank you for being kind and shedding light on this very difficult subject.
Great video on a very important topic. Just for everyone to remember - not only soldiers can suffer from PTSD
I was going to say the same thing. Severe trauma of Amy kind can give you PTSD. From homicide detectives to abused children. Your brain does what it can to protect itself.
I remember seeing the old Shell Shock video in my history class in high school... Many of us stayed quiet and said nothing but there's always some asshole. This kid, tall tough guy, started laughing and making fun of the veteran saying how he was a pu**y and all kinds of vile shit. I threw the thick history book at him and then my chair. I regret nothing and the suspension was worth it.
Tie him up or put him into a cage, then throw him some fire crackers, make sure he doesn't know where does it land. Make it a daily routine for at least a month. Maybe he'll change his tone
thanks for doing that
I would've asked the teacher to just give him more homework like tons of essays but okay
Thank you so much for taking an attitude… people like him need a slap of reality (or book) in the face to have empathy towards others

One of my old JROTC Instructors has PTSD and gets flash back from Vietnam. when ever we had a substitute we knew something had happened so he would either have subs once a while in the middle of the day. as well my uncle he was in iraq for a few years and once a while he will begin crying and screaming over hes fallen brothers he has gotten treatment and seems a bit better now.
I cried with them so much, I didn’t even know about this and that made me feel bad. Salute to all of our heroes out there!
This was important. I'm glad they were able to have a reference for the term.
PTSD in children is also exceptionally devastating to see. Even if it treated. They become adults with a heavy burden.
"PTDS," "Shell Shock," "War Neurosis," etc. by any other name is a phenomenon that has been known since ancient times. Herodotus described a case of what would be today described as trauma induced psychosomatic blindness in a soldier who fought in the battle of marathon in 490 BCE. And, even earlier, ancient Assyrian texts from approximately 3,000 years ago describe former soldiers describing things that would today be attributed to PTDS (ie., seeing the faces of and hearing the voices of people they had seen killed in battle).
This should be pinned.
When I was a kid, there was always a guy that would walk by my house and he'd always be frantically searching the sky and his gait wasn't normal. My parents told me he had shell shock. I don't know what ever happened to him. I was young and when he stopped coming by, I never found out what happened (helped, hospitalized, died, etc.).
New respect for Heejin. Seeing her tears for others in anguish... 💕 Heart of gold.
As a veteran myself, this one hit me hard. So many of my buddies never came back right and I had issues myself. It is no joke.
This channel should be highly commended for great content like this. The young women's reactions were very humane.
4:40 he has the Thousand yard stare that is practically a blank and unfocused gaze that most of the soldiers and victims of war adquiere after they go through a traumatic experience is the look of dissociation in the victims of war.
I never had any military-serving members in my family but seeing this made me cry & wished for every veteran & member serving & served. A hopeful treatment & happy life.
As someone with PTSD seeing someone crying and feeling so much empathy for people with PTSD I ended up crying. It's been years since I was diagnosed and even now I deal with symptoms and side effects. Thank you for making me not feel alone.
wishing peace for every soul, every family, every community, every nation, & every existence
wishing is just virtue signalling. Instead you can go out and do something
I started bawling while watching this video. I have family that served in the military. My sister is a veteran herself. She also has ptsd and even though it’s not physical like in some of those videos she struggles with it too. I’ll never understand the pain she has had to go through or the grief of losing friends. My family has accompanied her to visit the graves of her friends on Memorial Day. Even though she’s been through so much she continues to be an amazing sister and mother to her kids. My sister just graduated with her master’s degree in psychology and I’m so beyond proud of her. She is such a strong person just like all the other veterans that have come back from war and continue with daily life. I wish there were more resources for veterans who don’t have a home to come back to or a family. They deserve so much respect for everything that they do to protect us.
Rest in peace Mezz. 6 overseas deployment, he was served in the 82nd, batt, and was a GB.Took his life July 6th, 2020. Was an extremely chill and cool dude to be around. I miss him every day.
We know the effects of PTSD, known it since the early 1900s. Yet today we still send people to war. And our country (US) doesn't really take care of our soldiers when they get back. We just expect them to rejoin society as if nothing happened.
Yeah, it's super sad. I have ptsd myself, but not from war. I actually ended up arguing with an american veteran at one point (I'm swedish) but I had no idea that he was a veteran or that he suffered from ptsd. I figured it out mid-discussion and we just kind of stopped arguing and had a moment. It was very obvious that it was such a big deal for him to just get some basic compassion and to feel understood. Broke my fucking heart
Respectfully, I could not disagree more. I am constantly bombarded by the VA offering advice or help. There is no way to cure PTSD only manage the triggers we can manage and the help and compassion, if not true understanding, (only someone else with the same experiences can) I received was admirable. The best treatment for PTSD is to acknowledge it and talk about the events that led up to it and the VA offers completely free help to those like me with PTSD.
@@xxx_blindside_xxx2196 I am happy to hear this! I hope more veterans can be helped.
"The war isn't over until it's over."
The war is *never* over... It's been over 10 years since I went on my first deployment, and there are still nightmares that haunt me. They don't stop... but neither do I. I've lost too many friends who fell in their battles with their own inner demons, and I made a promise to them, and those who didn't come home, to live a life worth living. Because that is what they would have wanted for me.
If you truly are supportive of Veterans, please reach out to your local VA, VFW, American Legion, or any various veteran organization near you, and volunteer some time... To so many Veterans, especially those in their later years, just having someone around to talk to can lift their spirit; someone who is genuinely interested. Because a lot of us don't have very many people around us for support.
Straight up, grandpa served 7 tours as a sniper in Vietnam, supporting them through their battles is very important. Also it turns out that bit was a mistranslation and its actually "even though the war itself is over, it's not over for these people".
Seeing those early 1900s recoveries made me happy. You know the journey was painful and extremely hard, but they did it and could have a life after.
Those were old propaganda reels.
No one is cured of PTSD after a couple hours of treatment.
I know they didn’t know those were just BS govt disinformation but here we are decades later and PTSD is still incredibly difficult to treat.
@@powbobs
They weren't cured after a couple hours of treatment. In the videos themselves you clearly see it took a long time... one person took 2 and a half years to recover his gait. I think another had to take 2 years also to get to basket-weaving.
be grateful for our soldiers, they shred themselves for peace.
Sorry to the people who had to go through this pain, both the veterans and the citizens that remained in this hell!!!
This is amazing to see awareness being spread about PTSD. I suffer from it due to being raised in a violent household, it truly never fully leaves you and it is awful to see people suffer the way they do
10's of thousands of us have seen and done things that no person should ever have to experience. I'm 53 now and rarely have any problems anymore. But occasionally I still feel, smell, and hear it all over again. Thank you for this video. We're people and we're trying to live a normal life too....
The pandemic has really brought a rise in mental health awareness that was long overdue. Lightly joking around saying that you have PTSD, OCD, depression or any other disorder without actually having them and without truly understanding the suffering associated with it is just offensive. Mental disorders are very complex and always entail much more than what is normally talked about. I have a form of PTSD called Developmental PTSD, which means it resulted from constant trauma, even if not severe. I was bullied at school and also experienced issues at home so there was no escape. I also experienced repeated events of sexual harassment for several years. While nothing I experienced would by classified as extremely severe, it was the fact that there was not a break from any moderate level stress that caused the disorder. These were all different events occurring over the course of my childhood. PTSD takes on many forms and not everyone experiences the stereotypical flashbacks. I never had flashbacks. I only ever dissociate and sometimes have memories resurface that my mind repressed to protect me.
Yes. I have PTSD and C-PTSD, which I guess can be considered the adult version of Developmental PTSD.
The dissociation and memory loss is real. I don't know if you also experience fragmented identities/personalities? Trouble concentrating? Or were those old symptoms?
@Un1234I Usually the repressed memories aren’t really repressed, they’ve just been temporarily disabled from the mind by the brain. Also, the dissociative part is very real, but not for everyone who has PTSD. Some who have it will simply just recall a lost bad memory of being assaulted or abused, and then they may also feel nauseous and vomiting as well panic attack or higher social anxiety in those moments. Very crafty how the brain works.
It breaks my heart to see this veterans go through after they been through hell (war). I'm balling my eyes, I can't imagine what they're families feels seeing them battling another battle.
???? they signed up for this. i feel sorry for those citizens overseas who had died and lot of them got PTSD too. i know how they felt because i was born in war. fuck all soldiers, they deserve PTSD!
@@boredom3646
Depends. World War I also had conscripted soldiers.
These girls are so sweet and I love their honest thoughts and emotions. They are so beautiful!!
We need to appreciate what soldiers do more. It’s really sad, they don’t get paid enough for risking their life to protect their nation and fight for peace, and the war they’ve partaken in have deeply effected them
I suffer from PTSD, i'm not a veteran tho. My heart goes out to them
'Shell shock' actually comes from the wars back then because doctors thought the shock was caused by exploding bomb shells. Hence the name shell shock. They didn't know then that it was actually PTSD.
Watching these beautiful young ladies react as caring human beings restores my faith and belief in humanity. Such tender reactions show how caring and “normal’ their reactions are. Thank you for posting this. It warmed my heart.
When she talked about her dad I just cried.. people need to talk more about this topic
The compassion that you guys always show... It always surprises me, but humbles me at the same time. Even though this situation has nothing to do with you, you see it the way we do. You feel it the way you do. Thank you ❤️.
I lost two generations of men in my family throughout the first and second world wars (I’m European). My great grandfathers body is somewhere in Flanders, never recovered. He enlisted with his brothers, cousins, friends and workmates - as propaganda encouraged. As a history student, this is something really close to my heart. Worthy of note that there had never been a war like WW1 before and is often known as the great war. For the first time in history, artillery and ammunition was used on a scale that had never been seen before. The noise and terror of the battlefield would have been incomprehensible to us today. There’s a reason the term shell shock was used to describe the condition before PTSD became commonly used. War would ask an impossible price, killing millions of young men (who would die alongside brothers and friends in a fight that wasn’t theirs). Those who came home were so traumatised by the noise and chaos of the battle field, that they couldn’t unlive it. At the time this would have been a sign of emotional weakness and cowardice. Those who would attempt to flee the horrors of the trenches would often wound up shot in attempt to desert (and never given posthumous pardons) and those who made it home were faced with asylums and little sympathy.
It is really good to see a video highlighting the importance of PTSD. I knew people experienced mental trauma but I didn't know there were so many physical symptoms as well.
Mental health and physical health are intrinsically intertwined, in no way are they separate. This is why things like autoimmune disorders, chronic health disorders and various diseases are more common among those who are mentally ill. Your brain is part of your body, and the stress of being mentally ill or traumatized can really affect your physical health.
Im half-Korean and I have stories from both sides. My late grandfather on my Korean side of the family fought for the Korean Resistance movement against the Japanese and later on, he also fought in the Korean War. He was 17 when he first fought a battle. He would often space out when telling us stories of his experiences. He always told me and my sister how the things that he has seen and experienced would haunt him until his final days. He had a few close calls where he nearly committed suicide rather than being caught by the Japanese and those experiences of fighting in two wars shook him and we can see it. he would often also jump out of bed randomly because he said he thought he heard gunshots. He was a strong man, but it happens to the best of them.
Also, my father always told me about my growing up with my grandfather after he came back from Vietnam. He always said that his father really changed and would sometimes stand up in the middle of their meals to stare outside blankly. My grandfather also told my dad stories of how he saw his close friends die in front of him. War really changes people. Only politicians win wars, not the people that fight them. I want to honor them both as they fought with honor and sacrificed a lot for their countries.
This pretty much hits home and it's personal. My dad has PTSD from military service and whatever experiences he felt, it's haunting him. It's one of the reasons, despite our differences in opinions and viewpoints, I'm supportive of him getting help with mental health. I'm also living with C-PTSD so having hard flashbacks, reacting to triggers, and even night terrors are no joke.
I love that you did this. Regarding people always saying they have PTSD, I wish people wouldn’t joke or say things like that. I live with PTSD but from a different situation. People use PTSD as a joke in front of me sometimes but it really hurts because you never know who is living with it and who isn’t. No one knows the traumas people experience in their lives or what they could be suffering from. PTSD can happen even from watching a tragedy happen on the news. It’s something that should be talked about seriously and not in a joking manner.
PTSD is very much a real disease, just as deadly as cancer. It is often also completely invisible. We never know what another human being is going through. A friend of mine who fought in the Iraq War suffered from PTSD until he sadly his death by suicide. You’re right when you say that the war isn’t over until it’s over. And it’s still far from over for so many men and women.
1983 Beirut Lebanon, first car bomb, Marine barracks, 220 Marines, 18 Sailors, and 3 Soldiers died. Looking for our brothers and collecting what we could find to send home. There was no diagnosis for PTSD at that time. It cost me my career. Semper Fi brothers.
As someone who has an older brother who has served in the U.S. Marines, I thank you for making these videos. I believe many people, including myself, take for granted our peace, safety, and wellness which is all gifted to us by these brave and strong soldiers. This video just serves as a reminder of how grateful we should be to those who have sacrificed so much on our behalf.
Such a humbling experience. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Seeing them so warm hearted and pointing out the consequences of the war really warms my heart. At first, I wanted to recommend to them watching or reacting to the latest war that happened in different country but I don't think it is appropriate right now especially what is happening in Afghanistan.
omg I was affected by the battle of Yeongpyeong. I cried buckets after watching Northern Limit Line. I'm not a Korean but the fact that it happened recently in 2002 when I'm already in this world. also what made it sad was that the Koreans were busy with World Cup whilst these men were fighting for their country out at sea
I cried y'all. 2013-2020 U.S. Army, Combat Medic. Two tours. Take care and call your battle buddies.
PTSD 해 주셔서 감사합니다. 미군 Army Veteran 으로서 PTSD 가볍게 보는 사람들은 잘좀 공부하시고 해주셨음 합니다. PTSD로 인해 많은 군인들이 자살하고 사고로 죽기도 합니다. 폭팔의 대한 기억. 총소리. 아이들 우는소리. 모든것이 반복되고 모든소리가 다시금 그상황으로 돌아가는 상태가 됩니다. 다시 한번 감사합니다.
Watching criminal minds, there were some episodes where people who served the army go through a psychosis or even a replay of what happened. Especially the first one reminded me so much of that one episode (ifykyk) but seeing this with real people & not actors is heart breaking. When the brain knows you face trauma it can do unimaginable things
The psychoactive drug MDMA, better known as ecstasy, has cleared yet another hurdle on its way to possible approval as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A series of phase II clinical trials, treating a total of 130 people with PTSD, showed enough promise for the FDA to greenlight the phase III trials.
That doesn't seem right, but who am I to think a hallucinogenic drug could help anyone?
@@traciemcdaniel3660 No, No, No - ecstasy is "NOT" at all an hallucinogenic drug - there is no Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Do a google search or maybe youtube has videos?
@@lakenneth374 Oh! Ok. I didn't think it was. I had stopped doing drugs by the time that came out. Then one of my young coworkers told me they always wanted to try it, but scared because it was a hallucinogenic. I didn't argue. I thought maybe some new version came out?
@@traciemcdaniel3660 most likely, there’s also a thing called micro-dosing with shrooms and other drugs for a lack of a better word. It helps people to get through their day with minimal issues from their mental illness(es) and/or disabilities. It’s still being studied but there’s been positive results from doing micro-dosing.
@@blankblank-01 hmmmm. Interesting. Well, thank God, I don't know about it! Thanks for the info. I didn't know that ☺
“I wanna live in a peaceful world that has no war” yes sis same
One of the guys who came back from Afghanistan is going back to school in my class and he had a trigger in class. No idea what it was that set him off (I don't ask because that is for him to talk to someone about that can help him) but it was truly heart crushing. Everyone was trying to help him but its really hard to help them unless you are a therapist of some kind
Doesn't help when the military VA blowing off vets saying it all in your head. My dad spent 30 years trying to get the help he needed.
Finally was able to get help after getting our congressman involved. However it's important to realize that shell shock & PTSD.
Can get misdiagnosed & many vers can still suffer from PTSD's effects. PTSD needs to start being talked about more seriously.
Not continually pushed under the carpet and pretend it doesn't exist. Thank you for reacting to this so much!! ✌
I'm a veteran with combat related disabilities, having PTSD its a struggle some days. Love you girls your reaction touched my ❤. God bless you.I was stationed at Camp Red Cloud Korea.
I think it's good at the end when she mentioned improving treatment and conditions for soldiers, police and firefighters. I'd add emergency responders to that list, but I think a lot of countries would really benefit from better treatment for those in jobs where trauma can be an everyday occurrence.
In the k-drama it’s okay not to be okay, one if the scenes depicts one of the patients dealing with ptsd from war, it was an amazing scene but also very unfortunate knowing that’s what people deal with.
PTSD is a weird beast. For myself, after 21 years with 57 months total deployed to combat zones, mine manifests as intense paranoia, anger issues, depression, and anxiety.
I’ve had incidents with flashbacks, but they’re mostly contained to sleeping (especially after I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and got my CPAP).
It’s rough because while you can learn to live with it, it’s always there. I literally hate having my back exposed at all in social settings. Like straight on, flip sweat, kind of terror. I also can’t stand being unarmed at any point in time. You just feel exposed, like your whole world is about to implode.
It’s some wild stuff,
God bless all the courageous veterans with nerves of steel who risked everything and sacrificed so much to protect our countries and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today! God bless all the souls - military and civilian - that we have lost in times of war! God bless America! God bless us all and grant us peace!
These women are so compassionate and empathetic!
I suffer from PTSD myself. It's horrible and it's taken me years to get a grip on my sanity again. Thankfully I'm healing. I just hope others know there is still hope and not to give up.
I used to work in a recording studio "in the hood" and one day the door got kicked down and 2 ppl with guns and ski masks busted in and robbed us at gun point. Luckily we were all okay but that moment struck us all with great fear, months later I was watching a movie and there was a scene in which these ppl kicked down a door with guns and as soon as I heard that noise I felt a feeling I've never felt before ,I felt instant panic and my heart felt shocked. That's when I realized I guess I have ptsd from that moment.
Shell Shock was the term in WW1 for when a bomb or mortar landed nearby, detonated, and scrambled your neural and nervous path ways, which is why they moved the way they did.
PTSD is a more umbrella term that covers more than physical trauma. I am glad that they added police and firefighters to the list of people to help. While I was in the army, I was military police and I worked with the fire department. There is some very disturbing things we had to work through together.
Thanks for the info. I work in inpatient psych and had a passing thought wondering why I never saw such extreme physical symptoms. I thought perhaps it's due to the medications we now have. Just fyi: not a ptsd only psych facility
@@bethanyhdbd3377 good luck with that, Bethany. Always, alway, always be on guard when are on the floor. Even the most passive can flip a switch and go nuts. I've been on the psych ward floor while watching someone else that was on suicide watch. Twice. I am pretty sure I could not do it for a living.
Thanks :) the level of care I work at is one of the most acute where I live. Its a court ordered facility. I've been a psych nurse for about 7 years now. However, what I always find interesting is coworkers that talk about the care provided 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Psychiatric care has changed alot in 10 years and from what I hear care, patient to staff ratio, etc was alot better ten years ago. It was more patient focused and less about $$.
@@bethanyhdbd3377 money moves the world, unfortunately. I recently went to a specialist for my back to get a MRI. It was terrible. I barely got out of the exam room before the next person was shoved in. I know these docs need to pay off their loans, too, but have *some* cooth.
Refreshing and encouraging to see the genuine empathy and sympathy of the young ladies.
No one wins in war. Everyone suffers. Even if you make it back home it follows you. I had two uncles who fought in Vietnam years before my siblings and I were born. They came home and my mom talked about how completely changed they were. Depressed and haunted by it. One of my uncles became an alcoholic and drank himself to death. The other committed suicide within a few years of being home. He was seeing a therapist for the ptsd and he just couldn’t take it anymore. Drank antifreeze and died a few days later. I know family members who have PTSD from other kinds of traumatic events (home burning down, very messy divorce of parents when father was abusive, childhood bullying) and its never the same for any two people.
My grandpa was a marine serving in Vietnam, he still comes to our 4th of July (American Independence Day) celebration every year, but has to leave once the fireworks start because it puts him right back into the horror. It manifests in waking nightmares too, it's a horrible affliction that more people should be aware of.
I was diagnosed with PTSD and severe anxiety in 2018.
The trauma I experienced and the symptoms I have had are difficult enough to deal with and try to overcome. But.... it's people's reactions and how their treatment of me changes when they find out my diagnosis that is the most difficult.
Simply put.... they look at me differently... and they like to push me to share information about what happened. Which makes me start having what people call 'flash backs.' Though that doesn't really describe what it's like.
I get caught up in the memories and can't help but replay it and re experience the emotions again. Which leads to a full blown panic attack.
Treatment is so important, I can't express that enough. Education is as well.
I used to have C-PTSD a couple of years ago due to prolonged trauma from child abuse.
Anything like hearing a baby cry would make my heart race and my brain would feel foggy.
Sometimes my vision even got blurry because of the dissociation.
I would have fits where I would cry so hard I would start hyperventilating and dissociate for hours, and have horrible fatigue afterwards once I got triggered by something.
It's the feeling of constantly spiraling out of control, repeating the same feelings of fear and hopelessness that you felt during those incidents.
I know my mom was also a victim of child abuse and she lost all feeling in her legs at some point, to where she couldn't walk because the trauma was so severe it started to affect her physically in that way.
It's not a mental illness to take lightly but with extensive therapy, love and patience we can start functioning like normal.
when I came back, the world was like walking into your house, only some one had rearranged and changed all the furniture. you recognize that it's your house but nothing is familiar. Life after trauma is like riding your bike into sand. The intensity and momentum you had while in the military carries you off the pavement but soon you start to sink and the more you struggle the deeper you get. It took me years of therapy to realize that I will not ever really recover and finding sustainable methods to be content was the best option. My philosophy is to never give up so I can show my two sons that there is always a way if you refuse to give in.
This is quite interesting and informative. I've seen homeless people walking with that swaying gait and tics and shaking extremities. Now I know PTSD could be the cause of it
As someone with civilian PTSD + C-PTSD... the stress is what's causing the swaying and shaking. Life-or-death survival mode always on, the hormones are causing havoc on the body and the brain, leading to the swaying and shaking.
I lived 24/25 years before trauma found me. After that, I noticed my hands shaking more, my legs shaking, being unsteady. When I walk, I no longer recognized the way I walked, and no longer had full control over it. It's been 4 years since, and my gait has recently started to become more like how it used to be... in control.
I used to work out a lot. But post-trauma, I could no longer co-ordinate or feel my body the way I used to. It felt clumsy and the mind-muscle connection just not there.
7:00 She shows why it is so important to learn history at not as just facts/memorization, but with the right context so that we can truly learn from it and understand what people have gone through.
It was hard not to cry watching these men with PTSD. They were under constant fire, killing people of all ages in horrible conditions. The brain becomes damaged. Some vets get healed to a point where they manage and can live their lives. Others have to be hospitalized for long periods or on going.
My dad served in the Vietnam War and had PTSD for the next 50 years until he passed. Growing up, we were told not to ask about what he did over there. We didn't watch any type of war movies and you couldn't touch him while he was asleep to try and wake him, you had to stand farther away and say his name really loud to wake him. He didn't like crowds and had to have his back to the wall at restaurants....it doesn't just affect the soldier but the family as well. I remember Christmas was especially hard for him. I never got the whole story but it was something to do with an incident with a child while he was in Vietnam during Christmas time and I remember him just always being so solemn during that holiday. I remember a handful of times waking up in the night to him in the kitchen with my mother and on the floor crying like a baby...it's hard to see those things and remember it but it's a reality for many families.
As a veteran, I just want to thank you all for doing this video and helping to spread awareness of PTSD.
Thank you for showing this video, it means alot to my veteran brothers&sisters that have it, and all the other people who have experienced it too. 🙏💗
Such strong empathy and sympathy. I love these girls.
I have PTSD it can literally cause any physical symptoms your mind could think off. The trauma stress and anxiety are so bad it effects the brain and nervous system, it can lead to a pretty fast deterioration of physical health and how you see reality around you. Its a terrifying diagnosis can require years of therapy and rehabilitation to even start coping. The word is for sure thrown around too much.
“It’s not over until it’s over.” That got me. PTSD comes in many shapes and forms. The brain is a powerful b1tch. I was diagnosed with PTSD a few years ago. I wasn’t on a battlefield, per se, but I was definitely fighting a war. He got 10 years in jail and I got a lifetime of trying to forget everything. Keep your head up. 😘
Many veterans didn't really get any treatment, but just "lived with it". My husband's family had a man who was in WW II. He told stories of being in foxholes in Europe. He said he was able to go to the next foxhole by looking at a photo of his wife and child, kissing it, praying, and running forward. When he came home, you had to be careful around him because any loud noise like a door slamming or a glass breaking would trigger his fear and he'd dive under a table or something. I cannot imagine being in a situation to cause such permanent pain and fear. No matter whether you agree with where/when these soldiers are sent to fight, they deserve our thanks and better medical care than I've read that they get.
I went to a veterans hospital where I met a WW2 veteran. He saw enough awful things that his ptsd caused him to go blind. I met him in the year 2000, and he was still blind because of WW2.
A veteran told me a story of when he was in tour in parts unknown / classified. They were alerted by a village woman who led them to a demolished village and the inhabitants had been put in a mass grave. Their mission changed to digging up the bodies and trying to present them to possible relatives. But the heat acted like a crockpot. He said sometimes he smells it when he wakes up. That is some suffering.
They build us up and make us feel like we're invincible but don't tell us what it will be like after. For the first time in decades I went to therapy for my ptsd on Tuesday and it was great and will be going every other week.
My paw fought Nam and Normandy, and his PTSD from it... Absolutely heartbreaking... He'd very loudly groan during the middle of the day trying to drown out the noises of the war. The few stories I have are heartbreaking... and I barely know much...
I used to suffer PTSD (not war, just personal), and after therapy I luckily was PTSD free, and I was able to visit my cousin again in a city I was completely avoiding. He gave me a great job that paid well, which was to take care of this older gentleman. I would take him to go eat, watch him all day, change his colonoscopy bag, and help him go to bed, stuff like that, just keep him company basically. He staid with my cousin, but they weren’t related. He loved to talk about his time in the war, had great stories, but terrible PTSD. I remember one night, I slept over, and he had an episode. He was able to get himself out of bed and had music on as loud as possible to drown out something he was hearing, but it didn’t help, and he was screaming some pilot commands, and breaking things. My cousin usually knows how to calm him down, but it wasn’t working all too well. My experience with PTSD helped me calm him down with the help of my cousin, and I was able to get him back into bed safe and all right.
