βI'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.β
βI am not far ahead, but I want to say this: you are not crazy. Your body is trying to protect you, even if it feels wrong. Find one person who believes you. For me, it was my partner. She does not always understand, but she listens. And take small steps with the things that scare you. I still have nightmares, but I have more good days now. You can have them too.β
βIn 2023, that was me. Anniversary dates. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. xβ
βTo 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.β
