I have been really bothered by a traumatic event which happened in a city in Pakistan, it happened to some children and those thoughts are with me 24 7, I don't know if I should be explaining what happened because it could be distressing for others, but those thoughts are giving me so much distress and I don't know know how to cope 😢

If you want to talk about it and it would do you good, you can write a TRIGGER warning in your title to warn others.

I’m so sorry you are going through this; sounds like PTSD. There is a PTSD community here on Healthunlocked You may want to also post there for extra support.

I’m so sorry you are in distress and I wish you much healing. .

I hear you, I Have reaccuring painful thoughts that repeat in my mind. If you are able to keep your mind occupied with something you enjoy that might help. I hope things get easier for you

Hi there. I am from Pakistan too. I know what must have happened to you. Our childhood in Pakistan was traumatic. I care about you and others like me who have been in trauma. You are brave and you will go a long way in life. Just let it all out, cry if you have to. Connect with God as Them is the healer.
