[Don32136]

i always have stress when i go to school..never ending sh*t :(

[xuphoriaa]

Your all not alone. Millions of poeple suffer from this, just have faith in GOD and go through physiotherapy (counseling and talking about it alot)

[codename7000]

It's fun to go through all the mental disorder topics on these health matters videos.

[RosalieStreet]

w w w dealwithstresslabs com has more serious info on "How to deal with stress"

[kazetehskylord]

I have PTSD from a fucking cartoon. That's manliness for ya.

To justify it, 1. I was 10 and 2. I can see anything now.

[Reddlyon]

Very helpful

[andyfromxbox]

i have PTSD from mw2

[Yorkturtle956]

Yall muthetfuckers got a name for everything

[matej12000]

@Yorkturtle956 why dont you come on over to afghanistan with me and get shelled every day your hear for a year, then see if its still a joke bud. Imagine seeing your best friends guts hanging out and theres nothing you can do but watch him die. Dont be null

[jakegamesnake]

Wow, kraus... Thanks for sharing.

[DRcaprice]

i knew i have PTSD, but if this is true then i have PTSD through the fucking ass.

[zurechtweiser]

@feemedfee you are going to a spy to cure ptsd so awesome :)

[pyramidhead138]

does being bullied to death cause it as well?

[zurechtweiser]

@pyramidhead138 no.

[whowantsabighug]

@pyramidhead138 I assume being bullied to death would result in death.

[TheSoren56]

I do think however, getting it from war like meis worse than all the others no offense. But sitting behind a tree praying a piece of shrapnel wont hit you as machine guns fire and people scream and there's nothing you can do to save them and hearing the enemy shout I'n foreign languages and knowing you have to kill someone.....to take someones life for your country........is just........god........it's horrible. I never go within a two mile radius of a fun store I'n case.........ya know......

[TheSoren56]

Man, having this sucks. Let's say you never really sleep well at night, or you don't hear sounds the same way (Like fire. I don't hear crackles all the time.) It's kinda hard to trust people you see things..........Fuck wars. Fuck fighting fuck nukes fuck wepans fuck hate fuck mines fuck machine guns fuck tripwires fuck everything about war. Having PTSD sucks. I hate it so much.

[davidasi]

i cant stand the noise he makes with his mouth

[thehalogamer12]

PTSD doesnt just affect soldiers keep that in mind, i was diagnosed with it when i was about 9 from abuse and some traumatic incidents. nobody is a wimp because of it and we arent crazy either. im heavily involved in martial arts and am in scouting so those positive influences are helping me.

I was diagnosed with PTSD only a few hours ago by my psychologist.

Not all cases with PSTD are caused by war. It can also be caused by emotional trauma, sexual trauma and physical trauma. Its not the pain given that makes us the individual, but its how deal with it and overcome it. I highly recommend if is anyone is dealing with PTSD is to get therapy. I think that the reason why its becoming more common today is because more people are seeking help and standing up, its not as secretive.

[crypter27]

@H0tkebab I haven't been diognosed with PSD but heres the deal,I'm not a veteran I haven't been through a war zone or nothin but growing up I was bullied to the extreme & I also grew up in bad neighborhoods. Not horrible but bad for a mid sized town,I went through hell growing up.I had bullies in and out of school,back then I was small scrawny & different for the most part I put that time behind me,but there are times when I'm alone.

[crypter27]

@crypter27 When all those old feelings of hoplessness & rage come back like heart burn,its almost like a flash back eccept you change it to the way you wished it went down. I'm a martial artist & weight lifter today,but when I erupt my heart beats at a thousand miles per minute after words,do I have PSD?

[H0tkebab]

@crypter27

I hear you, I was also a victim of bullying at school. Emotionally. physically and sexually. It all contributes to why I have the disorder. I am also martial artist (Boxing and Muay Thai) its great to do something like martial arts and weight lifting because it empowers you and makes you think more positively. I'm not a doctor so I can't say whether if you have it or not. But if its bothering you, I would suggest going to your GP and getting a referral to see a professional.

[crypter27]

@H0tkebab thanks

[Riddell042168]

It hard to live with this but learn deal with government don't help

[lfergie111]

I have PTSD. I use alcohol. It hurts on so many levels.

[Bluestouse86]

my brother died when i was 16, he was 23. I was diagnosed with ptsd. I have no emotion other than anger. Dont know why, want to feel more, but can't. I snap on eveyone that loves me for no reason, very strange.

[juzblazejr]

i think ptsd awarness should be raised ten fold, but that posses the question do they keep quiet about it in fear of affecting service numbers?

think about it, if people know how messed up ptsd is would they still wanna go to war?

[shereemcl]

I have been diagnosed with PTSD and find my life in an upheavel stance. My health has been failing and I am very anxious. I cannot explain my symptoms to my family because they think 'Im faking. This video was very informative however, the insurance companies only pay for so much treatment. What do I do in the meantime?

[fingersjones]

the stress of dealing with stressed people is obviously stressful too

[Shaunnahatesyou]

I was diagnosed with PTSD about four years ago, when I was 14. I do not appreciate this clip. Wimp?! I believe not! I am sorry I had to experience a event that triggered me and gave me flash backs- making me a WIMP.

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

US Soliders cannot et PTSD. I saw the film Patton. He was the same as all US Generals. He would shoot the man on the spot for this cowardice. You have to be a man. My own father came back from the war badly wounded. He was immediately given the feathers from young ladies. Women expect that their menfolk should be in battle. This is in New Zealand. The US are far tougher than US. Look at the way they gunned down the Reuters crew in Baghdad.

[sensihezi]

i am having a terrible problem w/ this too. but its to watching a best friend die when i was 8 years old.. now this is 12 years ago.. and ive got the worst anxiety, i have breakdowns... re-live the situation over and over ( i saw him get hit by a car) and i feel crazy.... :( i hope everyone the best w/ this. hit me up if anyone needs to talk

[sockironer]

IS IT JUST ME OR ARE OTHERS PRETTY CONVINCED THEY HAVE PTSD WITH THE FUCKED UP SHIT THEYVE BEEN THROUGH BUT JUST TRY AND COPE DAY TO DAY WITH THE DIAGNOSIS GIVEN (ANOTHER ANXIETY DISORDER) AND DRUGS/BOOZE? iM NOT CONDEMING THIS VERY REAL PROBLEM, ITS JUST SOME MEN (AND WOMEN) WOULD RATHER NOT REGRESS WITH GP'S PSYCHIATRISTS ETC THEIR TRAUMA

[Ragnarok691]

I experienced things in combat that would turn most people white. When I first seperated in 05 I recieved ZERO counseling or even had it offered. When I realized I had an issue, I found myself going 140 MPH in my 92 mustang down the freeway because it felt good. I considered seeking help but instead I took up my teenage habit of smoking twiny twin twin. I smoked weed for about 6 months every day. I lost my job and ended up living out of my car. I then realized this was beyond my control.

[Ragnarok691]

I was referred by a friend to the VA. I went there and dealt with weeks of red tape. Then I got an appt with a psych doctor. The guy was a total quack. Only wanted to shove meds on me and get me out the door. He perscribed me Lithium and sent me away. The Lithium made me feel literally toxic. I hated it so I stopped taking it. Then the same thing started back up with the week. I managed to keep and met my wife. I got a really good job doing IT work and stopped smoking weed.

[sockironer]

@Ragnarok691 dude weed can be the worst thing for anxiety based disorders, though theyve had some bad press most find benzodiazepenes are better for severe trauma

[sensihezi]

i agree w/ you there... i smoke pot every night and it helps at the TIME-- but it gives me extreme anxiety . never had it until i started smoking... trying to quit now.

[Ragnarok691]

I got a real civilian doctor when my insurance kicked in and he actually cared. He really listened to me and understood. He issued me Lamictal. He does not make me high or sick, it just levels me out. On occasion I have a really bad dream at night but I don't have daytime flashbacks. PTSD is real but it can be treated. At the VA, they don't care enough to treat them. Just my part of it.

[sockironer]

@Ragnarok691 man thats insane you had to go that far before even getting a civilian doctor? Dude Im gonna friend request you because I think theres a limit to how much you can post as far as what you/I/we have seen or felt - but hang in there champ.. My suspect PTSD comes from real weird shit growin up/ put into care/ loony bin by 17, , shit haunts me but I take little steps y'know. Lifes a test I guess

[sensihezi]

ragnarok691, i really hope you the best hun...

[xxcarlymeganxx]

This vid was gr8. I had to have an ambulance to A&E no1 cud figure out wt was wrong wiv me and i seriously fort i was going to die. Turns out i had a bad urine infection and was dehydrated, but that nyt i really fort i was goin to die and is the most frightening traumatic experience ive ever had. I have never been the same since and have been havin all kinds of test done (all coming back negative) and have now been told its psycological. I am wonderin if this is what i have?

[Bumblybee256]

Okaaaaayyyy.......I highly doubt that men watching boy films means they get less PTSD. It's much more likely to be due to socialised sex differences that often see women seek help for problems more often than men.

[1888junkteam]

excellent worker!

[TheMightymedic101]

I am not sure if I even have PTSD but when my mother yells at me or anyone else it puts me in these episodes of her beating me, yelling at me in the past, and screaming at the top of her lungs saying that she hates me and my siblings. When that happens I seep into depression and have had thoughts of suicide. any details?

[MyLaura999]

This is a very informative video, on PTSD it shows us the different situations that can cause this disorder, both in military and abuse or violent situations in your life. Help is offered for this disorder, thank you for this information.

[MetallicAus]

I have the same issue, my life is miserable. Can't even eat or drink, can't sleep, fear of death every single minute, get scared so quick and no self confident. My life is pretty shit

[raywiIIamjohnson]

idk how to say this but, i suffer through lots of stuff, when im in front of my parents i act as a normal person , but when they r gone i act crazy and like have sucidical thoughts. do i suffer PTSD?

[KaltHart]

No one could tell exactly what it is you're going through with that little of information. My guess would be some kind of depression. Unless your actions are stemming from some kind of traumatic event, it isn't PTSD. If you're having suicidal thoughts it might be best to speak to a councler of some kind. But, I'm not a psychologist.

[TheCreeperKid]

I suffer mild post-traumatic stress disorder after intense psychological abuse.

[xuphoriaa]

@TheCreeperKid I had to dissociate and hide inside myself...i was basically a walking robot i made my own fantasy world...with friends and people who care i was so lonely. To this day i still suffer, i Thank God with all my heart for helping me get better slowly...i have OCDs and its worse with the medication side effect i get affected and listening to music can have me dissociated

[dangray1963]

i was raped.burned in hot water.mentally torchered psyically scarred ,beaten to a pulp too many times ,condisioned by a violent drunk who beats wife and children.i was misdignosedin hospital treated as i had schizophrenia ,shock treatment.,psyciatry,drugs for schizophrenia .then doctor realized i had p.t.s.d. it makes sence.

[photo986]

I sufer Post Traumatic Stress. Why? In the late 50's the CIA had a secret brainwash program code named MKultra. They paid a Dr Cameron in Montreal to carry it out.He injected LSD mixed with other drugs, Massive electric shocks and weeks of sleep as a brainwash tape played. I am telling my story on You Tube called youkilledyourmother

[fee20luv]

ive had a bad father he shicopreina my mom was mental. back den i had a bad child hood i have post tramtic distress

[ImperialUprising]

I wonder if I have it. I got beaten a whole bunch of times when I was really little.

[photo986]

I am telling my story on you tube called youkilledyourmother other videos can be found under MKultra

[walhallax]

i had an awful childhood, with all kinds of abuse. :( i cant have a regular relationship

[fee20luv]

ur not alone i had bad childhood. 2 and im in a realtionship and i cant be nice to my boyfriend.. remember god loves and cares for you

[thealloaman]

I was attacked few years back by 4 guy's & left for dead...it's fuked up my life...tried everything but sadly nothing has worked..my only escape now is the bottle.

[shyfemmekat]

terrantry, please thank your grandfather for his service.

[CD757]

I have PTSD from being the victim of a strongarm robbery a few months ago, life hasnt been easy but im really trying to get back to normal

[3rina13]

ptsd has nothing to do with being a wimp. it is how the brain defends itself from the pain and once you start living a normal life the brain is still trying to defend itself even though there is no need to. i was recently diagnosed with this and my number one symptom is the numbness of emotions.

[fee20luv]

wow. i had dat the numbness of emotions... i my life was threating some many times . as a child. my mom and dad was in and out the hosiptal .. mom leaving me didnt know when she would come home dad was a anger man dis and that and some. sigh

[JHDIII1987]

@3rina13 "ptsd has nothing to do with being a wimp."

That's what a lot of guys in the military think, that pussies get PTSD that is.

My PTSD I used to have made me stronger and the way I completely recovered was by becoming a martial artist/warrior.

It gave me lots of willpower.....now I don't have any willpower anymore because I've recovered from PTSD.

I smile when I look back on my nightmarish combat experiences.

[ecosby100]

@3rina13 after world war two my grandfather came back and had a hart attack at like 5 years later at the age of 35

[PupuTheClown]

Oh My,, Dr. Granet looks a little jewish today !,,,lol

[Ruii123]

Clusterbee symptoms? excuse me if i incorrectly spelt it, but I was a victim of this when I was

extremely sick,

I had a night mare, and these images kept reoccurring in my mind, and my god this is freaky,

why does this happen.. ? :S

[terrantry]

I have PTSD from WW2, I wasn't even on the front lines for too long. just took a bullet, and thats all it took. i don't even need a counselor now though. it doesn't bother me too much anymore, more so keeps me from being afraid.

nothing can scare me anymore, not much.

[GodsNightmare21]

And how old are you?

[terrantry]

I am 79 years old now, but this account belongs to my grand son, he introduced me to you tube if i wanted to watch a few films i had lost in a fire, and i just thought of this,

[Erkerkerk123]

You are very brave

[zurechtweiser]

@terrantry isn't that awesome to have almost no fear?

[Kriss310]

hey guys can PTSD cause schizophrenia?

[terrantry]

I believe so, yes.

[Jamesvobb1]

The reason why the war and PTSD are closely linked is because the concept of PTSD was first recognised in the first world war, although the term for the disorder was 'shell shock'. If you are looking for ways for help about PTSD maybe look up EMDR or Psychotherapy, CBT as they are examples of therapies which help cope with post traumatic stress disorder.

[JiggaStudent]

This is an awesome introduction to PTSD. This discussion was informative and I believe that those who don't have an understanding of the disorder should watch this and learn. Far more informative than most internet sources I've utilized.

[armer106]

I have PSTD for seeing my brother get ran over by a car and died, been abused as a child, saw a soldier grab my nephew that was a baby by the leg, and so many more

[djtashabay]

i know now. who's my bully?

[IFUCANTCME]

Yeah I've never been in the military but just living in this society you are bound to go through psychological and physical trauma. Everyone has PTSD. Some it's worse than others but, imagine trying to deal with your own PTSD and being constantly re violated because of how this society deals with gender, racism, sexuality etc. I'm tired of the only example being military folks. What about the proletariat?

[lamarjlp914]

You've hit the nail right on the head. I was searching for some videos regarding ptsd in non military personnel, can't seem to find any.

[IFUCANTCME]

yeah it's hard to see a counselor when they are blind to the fact or evade the facts that PTSD is also caused by experiencing trauma without having to enlist for war.

[armer106]

I'm not everyone get it

[fee20luv]

i know right. like ppl like me a baddddd childhood . with mother in out hosiptal dad in out hositpal crazy father.. mom always runnning away not feeeding us the right way

[Cypress36199]

Why is it that everything I look up about PTSD it's all about veterans and soldiers. I have ptsd but I am not a veteran or soldier. Then the only ptsd clinics are on military bases which I clearly cant participate in and can't find help anywhere.

[Arbow1986]

I agree I think there is too much focus on this being a millitary dissorder. In fact my diagnosis actually is what kept me out of the Army.Its may be the most commom way that people may get it but its not the only way.

[shyla4061]

Before I ended up getting professional help, I had tucked each incident under the rug.I would giggle a lot. Smile all the time to be sure no one knew. I spent 36 yrs coping the best I could. The experimental 'probe therapy' was the hardest thing which sometimes left me totally messed up for 3-5 days. But today I can say that therapy saved my life. PTSDs are real. Very real. The probes bring your senses right back to the moments/places. But once 'out' I was free.

[Vearlsriver]

Some posters on here are psychopaths. OMG, Jesus was a Jew.

Real PTSD does exist. Sometimes I think the term may be over used, but it does exist. Mental turmoil is hell on earth, and unless one has lived it, how could another besides the afflicted understand? This trauma has always been in existance, but until it was labeled by the medical community, it was not always recognised. How easy it is to cast judgement.

[Vearlsriver]

Thank you whatsontv1234 for your reply.

LOL,anti-Christ...as someone had made the "F--king Jews," comment below. (That was a pretty crazy thing for someone to say.) All joking aside...what is so terrible about PTSD in my case anyway is how it has changed who I am.

[Vearlsriver]

When I said below the way it has changed me is that the lack of trust,hypervigilant,panic disorder,always prepared,sometimes paranoid,social anxiety,social isolation yet not wanting anyone around,severe depression,intrusive thoughts,then alcohol.

I have been sober two yrs.but found myself drinking mouthwash 21.6% alcohol last wk. I hate those AA meetings.I do not ever feel comfortable in such settings,as it probably wouldn't have bothered me before PTSD. Sometimes I hate myself and my life.

[bcjjjk6]

they maybe informed on the military,but oh so far off on women and children and the abuse they suffer.

[elsdon001]

thanks for putting this on ,, i have ptsd, and tryed for yrs for answers , thank you found a lot of answers, thanks god bless.

[guiltyspark55]

Fucking jews

[chays446]

And your a f*cking dumbass,, PTSD is real,,,i have it,,,i got heatstroke then four days later i got struck by lightning....didnt get it until 3 months later. But now im afraid getting heatstroke any time the sun is out,,even if its freezing outside.

[Kan2209]

Look, all you have to do to find wisdom is to understand that there are things in this world you know nothing about. You know nothing about this subject. That's a fact. It doesnt matter to me if you stay ignorant, but it is very annoying to watch. When someone chooses to stay ignorant.. No idea why though. Guess it'll come to me.

[BitterHappiness]

The only one who knows nothing about post traumatic stress disorder are the idiots who think the Jew had nothing to do with its creation.

Keep sucking the Jew's cock, sheep.

[Vearlsriver]

I think, you do not realise, that people are all of the human race, regardless of our religious beliefs. Our cultures,that we are differently raised in... are what influences us. We only have one world, an island in the abyss of the so- far lifeless universe. You should think of trying to get along, or we will destroy our world. I promise!

[Vearlsriver]

I was talking to you BitterHappiness, below.

[erikeccles]

You deserve to be put in a room, alone, with a Navy SEAL for at least 2 hours.

You fucking bigot.

[juzblazejr]

@BitterHappiness youre such an idiot

[charlottefrances]

Thanks for posting. I am really surprised by how naive some of the comments here seem - and it doesn't seem to be shot that long ago. For example, women in the military suffer PTSD more from combat because they don't watch as many shot-em-ups?! Much of this feels like (kitchen sink) speculation...

[frankgunderman]

I remember feeling like this , but only a few times. I ve been good to block it out. Its been along time now.

[shyla4061]

Blocking out is like sweeping under a rug. Eventually you trip over it and have to remove the lump. After 36 yrs I can now say I'm free. My Dr did experimental probe therapy on me. Some were so difficult it left me in a psychological mess for 3-5 days. However, I am glad I did it. I went threw it. The probes bring you right back to the point of smelling the smells, and re-experiencing the event(s). Tough. But so worth it. Hope this helps.

[panicatthediscosuck]

I do have symptoms of PTSD but I do not thinks what caused it actually happened. I believe it was a dream of somekind but I cannot get over it and any mention of what caused it causes me great anguish.

[earthenly]

Thank you for posting this video. My father fought in World War 2 & was afflicted by PTSD. I didn't come to know about it until in my 30s, I believe, so I didn't understand his behavior when I was a child. I believe as a result of Dad's PTSD, and other factors, I, as well, including my sister (deceased), suffer from it too. I am afraid of authority & avoid it if I can. Man's authority over me is one of my trigger points. I run from it. Another trigger is seeing it be done to others.

[bobadillia]

I have read that we inherit the condition in our genes or more accurately we have a greater predispositon to it

[earthenly]

Hi Bob. Thanks for replying. I'm not convinced that P.T.S.D. is a hereditary actor. I believe it to be due to traumatic experiences in one's life, such as witnessing terrible acts against someone or self, especially never having experienced these things before. P.T.S.D. has to do with the mind. A happy, innocent & secure mind can become a changed mind when something threatens its feeling of safety. The reality of that threat being true comes alive when men experience war, or other.

[NamekianPikkoro7]

Perhaps not hereditary, but what about environmentally? Perhaps a parents self-being, like all parents, causes you to get a personality like theirs and you surrounded by abuse makes the likely hood of PTSD to exist even more so.

What is your view on that?

[earthenly]

Sure! Like the severe environment that leaders of countries put their men and woman into, also the innocent victims trapped in this environment, so too can traumatized parents unintentionally inflict a traumatizing environment on their children as would rape or any other traumatizing act set up a secure functional person into an insecure dysfunctional person. The unpleasant symptoms of PTSD are not deliberate acts against anyone. They are driven by triggers in society & fear of harm.

[NamekianPikkoro7]

My mother, one of her sisters and brother all have it. They were all abused and developed it, plus my one Aunt is in the military and it made her PTSD a lot worst. I was just wondering what you think of it because not only was I teased as a child by other children, but it was the teachers and my family. There's much more, but thanks.

[earthenly]

I feared my father but know now that he did his best. Because my father was unpredictable & predictable, we walked on eggshells into adulthood. I much felt as a soldier training in barracks. To this day I am not organized & have a hard time making decisions. I abort my attempts trying, & too often second guess myself. It is easier for people to understand injuries of the body than that of the mind. The military "knows" that it exists, but it is easier to deny than to compensate these poor men.

[shyla4061]

Interesting trigger. Mine is lack of choice. Even though I am not high strung, I'm sooo angry inside, yet no one knows it bc I am always laughing, giggling, smiling. But let me loose on a punching bag in the gym and whew! Another trigger is meanness. I cannot stand people being mean. Totally affects me. Complete withdrawal.
