From people who came through it

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Back then it was avoiding the road where it happened. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy.”

  • β€œIn 2023, that was me. Anniversary dates. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. x”

    Valentina from Cali F Β· been through trauma and ptsd
  • β€œTo anyone just starting with PTSD: I'm two years in and some days still knock me flat. What I can say is that the shaking doesn't last forever, and you learn your triggers. I keep a note on my phone of what helps, like walking a different way home and calling my sister when the dates come around. It's not fixed, but it's not the same as day one either. Find one person who gets it. That's what I'm trying to do.”

    Bong from Taguig Β· been through trauma and ptsd
  • β€œI've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Mine was flashbacks when a car door slams. I laugh properly again. Sending love.”
