Help for trauma and PTSD in Trinidad & Tobago
From people who came through it
“To 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 · been through trauma and ptsd“In 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 · been through trauma and ptsd“For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are two years ago. I remember startling at loud noises like it was yesterday. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Be gentle with yourself.”
embermoon62 · been through trauma and ptsd“I 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.”
