Trauma and PTSD - are you effected?

[SeasonsofTrauma]

Psychological trauma is a sneaky thing. My trauma is centered upon a very specific time of the year and therefore every year thereafter I go through the motions of paranoia. Does anyone else feel like this happens to them?

Hi there and sorry you are going through this. I'm hoping that maybe you are a little better now? Also there is a PTSD site on healthunlocked if you also wanted to join that community. G

My anxiety happens in waves. I get it. It is a scary ride.

Yeah after 3 years I am finally realizing when its about to start so I can get ready for it in a way. It doesn't make it any less bad but at least I know myself more now.

Mine is also centered on a certain time of year. I also get very tense and anxious months before the date/s of the trauma. It has been happening without my knowing for years....wasn't until a couple years ago that I connected the dots.

I appreciate that I'm not the only on then, or at least feel like I'm the only one sometimes. I don't personally know anyone who experiences this type of trauma and I just recognized my pattern this year.
