I think I might have gotten PTSD

TheCrazyBoi June 8th, 2023

I have not been diagnosed but I have very vivid and uncontrollable flashbacks that completely consumes my reality. I don't know what else that could be.


Basically, about 8 years ago me and my friend were jumped by a bully in the schoolyard and stabbed. My friend didn't make it. I still see and hear him screaming that sick scream as if I where right there again.


Idk I'm just hurting right now and miss him a lot.

@TheCrazyBoi I'm so sorry you went through all that and witnessed what happens to your friend. It would have been extremely traumatizing. Flashbacks are horrible to deal with. You could try some grounding methods. They can help sometimes but in all honesty I know when I have flashbacks I don't have the thoughts to say ok I need to ground myself. I'm sure you know we can't diagnose things here but you could look for a therapist and they could help you work through these traumatic memories and help with the flash backs and provide a proper diagnosis for you ❤️

@TheCrazyBoiI'm truly sorry to hear about the traumatic experience you went through, and it's completely understandable that you're still struggling with vivid flashbacks and the loss of your friend. What you're describing could be related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but I'm not a medical professional, so it's essential to seek help from a therapist or counselor who can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.It's important to remember that seeking help is a significant step towards healing. Many people with PTSD find relief and learn to manage their symptoms with the right support and therapy. You're not alone in your pain, and there are professionals who specialize in helping individuals like you work through trauma and its effects.Your feelings of missing your friend are entirely valid. Grief can be a complex and long-lasting process, and it's okay to seek support in coping with these emotions as well. Please consider reaching out to a mental health professional who can guide you on your journey toward healing and recovery. You deserve support and a brighter future.

I am so very sorry, that is horrible man, wat that punk did to u guys is absolutely *** and just evil.


I feel you wit dat. I'm not diagnosed but in this modern world who cares. Because no matter wat label it is whether depression, sadness, trauma, or ptsd, a problem is a problem.

Although different I also suffer from ptsd like stuff, but wat I do is I try to block those inner thoughts out by connecting with something good in our lives. Whether it is a hobby or a person or wat not, the choice is yours. Although dark things like that run deep, good things run deeper, because that is wat fundamentally makes us human.


If I were you I would do those things. But if they still keep on coming, you should try to talk to someone. Preferably a therapist, but at least someone's who feels your vibe and energy. I would say more but dis is getting long and I feel like I stated what was needed. Good vibes and good things will come your way, as long as you stay true to yourself 😇
