Therapy would be a great option especially since ur in school and ur young u need someone to help guide u into healing. Not sure if ur in faith but prayer has helped tremendously for me.

Oh dear, that what happens with PTSD. Once I was at my grandson hockey game , I was cheering for his team, that’s what people do at games. This man younger than me turned around at yelled at me, instead of saying to him, thats what what people do at games, so why don’t you move away, I moved away a cried, you feel you trauma once again. Mine was abuse, never saying a word back. I am trying to get stronger, next time if this happens again, I’m going to try to tell that person, you move, and I bet I’ll feel better.

Thanks for sharing your story with me I actually got ptsd from physical,emotional and mental abuse..

Same me, my mother physical ,and mentally abused me from 5 years old , while my siblings, and father watched until the day she died 10 years ago, I am 68 years old now. We have to remember they will never hurt us again, and if you are till ,get help to get out of there. In my day it was a secret, and no one would help❤️

Once you realize what triggers you , You can avoid them or learn how to cope when you feel even the smallest bit of sadness forming . You’ll become so aware that you’ll see it before it actually does any damage . That’s what I do at least . Try to find coping mechanisms . Do something that makes you happy when You start to feel sad . Those flashbacks are just memories . Who or whatever hurt you can no longer hurt you. I hope things get better for you I under you’re pain

@lm_o, I am sorry that people in your environment keep triggering your anxiety. panic attacks are ugly, I know because I get them too. do you have any support team? family, friends, classmates? I urge you to begin a journal from the time you wake up, not out of bed yet til the time you get ready to shut your eyes, include where you are, who is around you, what you are doing and what triggers you and how you work thru it. leave no details out. do this everyday. it will be the foundation of you getting healed. try taking a shower, listening to soothing music, aroma therapy, drinking water, taking a deep slow breath, meditation, some do read the bible and listen watch videos to help focus on positive productive thoughts/energies. believe in yourself. you can overcome this. private message me if you wish to talk further.

Not always possible in the moment to stop and write in a journal. Like oh hey abusers or people who have just set me off stop a minute so I can write this all down in my journal because if I don't right now because of my state of mind & ptsd I won't be able to recall later every single detail of what happened and there are situations where a journal just won't be to hand.

thewisdomoftrauma.com check out the film. You don't have to donate to watch the film, you can choose to donate what you can and choose nothing. It helped me understand some of my trauma I was dealing with and I can start to work on some things because I have a better understanding. I'm wanting to do Ayahuasca. Have you heard of it? It's an interesting spiritual approach to healing and new beginnings done by a Shaman healer. Google it. It both scares and intrigues me.
