Serious question... Is this PTSD?

Childhood trauma, another addition to PTSD.

Post traumatic Stress! Our brains process these KEY events over and over because they are like an alarm that goes off, danger, warning, alert. To calm those alarms it takes some work on our part to make that alarm turn off.

So people who suffer PTSD were butt fucked as kids?

Whatever happened to shellshock? GC-RIP

Many of them, yes.
Probably you too, and you are still in denial.

Stages of Grief/Brief: denial, anger, bargaining/negotiating/trauma, depression, acceptance.

But this thread isn't about you, so I will put you back on ignore now.

I don't do any of those things...and every thread is about me, why would I post about someone else?

Shit I prob got PTSD theres nothing I can do if it starts happening. A couple days ago it got so bad my hands cramped up. Pretty much get all like Joe Cocker feels like your gonna have a heart attack. Also get the shacks really bad. My body does it all on its own all I can do is deal with it if it starts up

That's a panic attack...

Yeah ever have that shit happen like that? If not you don't know

Everyone always says its mental but when the shit starts i'm literally thinking about jack shit

If you never had a hardcore panic attack you don't know shit

Not true...I know the symptoms of a heart attack and have never had one, same with a stroke or even spinal meningitis and many more common illnesses...You never hear about people getting an appendicitis anymore though, wonder why?? I have a theory...

Are you suggesting that a panic attack opens up a volume of education in the brain??

Hey George, I had a panic attack and now I can speak four languages and instantly learned quantum mechanics, said no one ever...

denial.

Ya'll are just some old fuck assholes, GLP is just a giant talk shit forum, shove it up your asses you fuckin hypocrites

If you find yourself thinking about Jack taking a shit, or fantasize about helping Jack off a horse, you most certainly have a mental problem...

Your savior trump is such a fucking joke too, fuck all you people that love that old fuck reality bitchass

How long have you had the pretend PTSD?

At what age do you begin to hate old people?

He just don't like the type that hide behind guns, that's all your old ass can do to define yourself, bitchfuck

PTSD is real. I had it for years. I was in a mobile home that took a direct hit from an F2 tornado. I was in 5th grade.

I would have gut twisting fear every time a severe thunderstorm came along. It took a long time but the symptoms subsided.

I can now watch the movie Twister, in the dark, sound up during the tornado scenes, with the lights off - during a thunderstorm.

Worse that can happen is death. Use that fact.

John McCain was a traitor and a buffoon! Most recently under Obama he was The ISIS liaison. You'd think you would be more sympathetic to those here expressing mental anguish given your History Brief!

You sure seem to know a bunch of shit that ain't true...I suppose that's easier than actually learning by any other means...

Really, what's my history?

People think everything is PTSD these days. You fart and somebody swears it gives them PTSD. Guy I once worked with who was a veteran claimed that he was fine when he came home until he watched the movie Bambi, and then his PTSD became active. Everyone these days claim to have PTSD. I mean it’s usually nothing that’s even traumatic usually, they claim they have it. “I have PTSD, that’s why I’m so jumpy. “ as they jump into their little karate pose. “So what gave you PTSD?” They respond with something stupid like, “My ex-boss thought I was cute and grabbed my ass one night, and I slapped the shit out of him, and now….I have PTSD.” It’s a real “fuck you” to people that actually are really dealing with that shit. It’s like, “So you never served in the military? Never witnessed a friend or multiple friends be murdered in front of you? Never had the shit kicked out of you for years on end? Been exposed to weeks, and months of countless enemy mortars being fired upon your position? Guy grabbed your ass…..oooookkkkkkaaaayyyy.” Not saying you don’t have it OP…..just saying I see a lot of people claiming to have it, that don’t and just apparently want people to feel pity for them or something. I mean….there’s life and shit that happens in life, and then there’s torture…..grotesque violence perpetrated in front of you or to you. Loud explosions you have been exposed to for weeks, months, maybe years on end. People actively trying to kill you….these things are what normally cause traumatic mental problems like PTSD. Being someone that has perpetrated said types of violence would give you PTSD potentially, (doesn’t happen to all killers but to many), but maybe not. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I would venture to say that what you experienced one time in your life probably isn’t enough to actually cause you to have PTSD, but rather just make you scared of living in an environment where that event possibly could happen again. What you went through was traumatic sure, but so are a lot of other things in this world. Usually it takes more than one event to cause PTSD. Seems like it tends to be a cumulative thing, many traumatic events over a relatively short time that actually causes it. You know like soldiers going into combat….it’s why they come home with it, they have experienced many traumatic events in a relatively short period of time, and it becomes the norm. They compartmentalize it in the environment that they are in because they don’t have the luxury of getting deep into their feels. It’s not until they come home and have to adjust to a world or life outside of that, new norm that they had to adopt to stay alive.

So yeah in conclusion a lot of people claim they have PTSD, but really they’re just pussies who can’t deal or cope with a few minor surprises or rough spots in their life. That’s what I think.

We don't know the range of PTSD that John McCain had, never will. Numerous affairs, bad parenting, poor business practice, coercing with the enemy, all classic symptoms.

Maybe Brief was rejected the PTSD diagnosis and he's still bitter. Something makes him a bitter soul... something traumatic. People in denial live horrible lives.

Where did you get your degree?

Is bitter what you call truthful and realistic, and wait, you are supposed to be ignoring me!

Do you have trouble shaking the thought and the feeling from your mind once it's there?

The poor, poor, poor people around me have to suffer through something like two hours of war stories and a trip down memory lane every time something sets me off, because I literally cannot just snap myself right back out of that hole. I have to dig myself back out.
