While walking through a grochery store I stopped for a moment, froze and felt sick to my stomach. I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that truly just felt awful. I was staring at a bottle of apple juice not knowing what was going on with me. I stood almost in tears and then it hit me, it was almost Valentines Day.
Valentine's Day in 2016 was the worse day of my life. Your ptsd can hit you close to the date of a traumatic event and others times it can be completely random. I called a family member and talked to them about it. Just talking aloud to someone helped so much. We are here for you ❤️
Thank you so much for this very insightful post. I suffer from PTSD and because of the way many people portray their lives to be more "perfect" than life is in reality, it can make me feel like I'm doing something wrong, living the wrong way, or somehow I'm not strong enough. Your post made me feel less alone and like there are clearly other people out their who feel the same weight of PTSD, or some other mental health or other struggle. Thanks!
