People with PTSD often have intrusive thoughts, as memories come back to haunt them during waking hours and in nightmares. They tend to start avoiding people, places and things that remind them of the trauma. They can feel anxious, stressed, depressed, isolated or even dissociated from reality. Many are prone to panic attacks. But not all people with PTSD have the same symptoms. Some may feel nothing at all, just numb.
Chronic PTSD has been linked to a range of physical maladies, from a higher risk of heart attack, stroke and type 2 diabetes to chronic pain and dementia. And people with PTSD are at higher risk of suicide
The horrible event may be over, but you’re held hostage by what happened to you“
