My Experience with PTSD
Trauma Support / by ListenerBeth

...See more Hi guys, I’m curious as to what equates to post traumatic stress, I went through a particularly traumatic event last year and over the past few months I have been experiencing what seem to be symptoms of PTSD, this event was extremely traumatic for me and has left me terrified of anything to do with that particular subject and I have been having flashbacks of the event which are terrifying and upsetting, along with various other symptoms. This event however is not considered to be traumatic for most, it was just traumatic for my due to my anxiety around it and my particular experience with it. So my question is, am I likely to be taken seriously if I bring up PTSD to a mental health professional with regards to something that isn’t traumatic to someone else? I have been worried about mentioning it to anyone incase I am laughed at for being so affected by what happened to me, despite it not being traumatic for another person? For a little context, it was a medical procedure i had to go through that is generally considered routine, my experience however was not routine. I’m just scared of mentioning it because I know PTSD is commonly associated with military veterans having gone through an obviously traumatic event, among others, whereas mine would not be considered traumatic to most. Sorry for going on a little rant but I’ve had this building up in my head for months and I needed to get it out lol. If I have said anything offensive or incorrect about PTSD or the PTSD community, firstly, my apologies and secondly please let me know what and why it was wrong or offensive so I can rectify it and learn. It is not my intention to offend anyone as I know this is a very sensitive topic, thank you so much guys! :) Edited by Asher, 7/15/21
