This is a site about my life with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is an honest, raw experience of a survivor overcoming the cycle of abuse.
WARNING: This site is triggering!
I write about things I like, things that make me laugh, things that have help me survive some very horrible situations; like surviving and overcoming incest, rape, physical abuse and neglect. I also write about the symptoms that happen because of that like depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and suicide attempts. I intend to use my experience to educate people on the fallout of not stopping the cycle, and the struggles that a survivor has to go through. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts please contact:National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255)http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/
According to the National Institute of Mental Health,"PTSD is an anxiety disorder that some people get after seeing or living through a dangerous event.
When in danger, it’s natural to feel afraid. This fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to prepare to defend against the danger or to avoid it. This “fight-or-flight” response is a healthy reaction meant to protect a person from harm. But in PTSD, this reaction is changed or damaged. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they’re no longer in danger.
Anyone can get PTSD at any age. This includes war veterans and survivors of physical and sexual assault, abuse, accidents, disasters, and many other serious events."
