 Hey what's up you guys, welcome back to my channel if you're new here. Hi, hello, I'm Lydia and if you are new here make sure you hit the subscribe button during the growing family to notification down on why you're down and give me a big thumbs up so it really doesn't help me out. Today we're going over some of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. To introduce a name, hi, I'm Lydia and diagnosed with multiple mental health conditions. I have PTSD as one way to diagnose it. So the main five symptoms of PTSD are reliving the experience through flashbacks, intrusive memory, and nightmares. Overwhelming emotions with flashbacks, memories, or nightmares. Not being able to feel emotions or feeling numb. Dissociation. That can include disconnecting from yourself and from other people. Avoidance. This could mean you try to distract yourself from thinking about the trauma or avoid people in situations that it reminds you of the trauma. Other symptoms of PTSD are negative mood and thinking. Difficulty controlling your emotions. Feeling anger, irritability, panic, and constant anxiety. Finding it hard to feel pleasure. Heavy sense of guilt or shame. Negative self-perception such as feeling diminished, worthless, or defeated. Problems relating to others. Problems in relationships and feeling detached from people. Problems with sleeping and concentrating because of the state of hyperarousal. Being easily scared or startled. Self-destructive behaviors such as fast-driving or drinking too much alcohol. Constant feeling of permanent threat. This is called hypervigilance. It's the feeling of being constantly alert or being overly sensitive to things such as smell or noise. Those are some of the symptoms of PTSD. Thank you for watching and if you're new, subscribe, like I said at the beginning. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. Peace.
