Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can feel like being trapped in survival mode — constantly alert, emotionally overwhelmed, and disconnected from the world around you. You might be experiencing flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, or a chronic sense of unease that makes even simple tasks feel exhausting. It can be hard to feel safe in your body or trust your emotions, and sometimes it might feel like no one fully understands what you're going through.

What is PTSD?

PTSD is a natural response to experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. Trauma can result from a single incident, such as an accident or assault, or from ongoing experiences like childhood abuse, relationship violence, or systemic oppression. Every individual’s trauma experience is unique—and so is their healing journey.

Common Symptoms of PTSD Include:

Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks (Do you find yourself reliving the trauma unexpectedly?)
Avoidance of reminders of the trauma (Are there places or people you try to avoid?)
Heightened anxiety or startle response (Why does my heart race or why am I always on edge?)
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating (Do you struggle to fall asleep or focus on daily tasks?)
Emotional numbness or disconnection from others (Do you feel disconnected or isolated from those around you?)
Intense guilt, shame, or anger (Are you overwhelmed by feelings of guilt or anger related to what happened?)
