How to you explain it? When your heart is absolutely broken.
But all you can do is sob these deep sobs while tears run down your cheeks. Feeling absolutely numb to the core.
You know nobody is there for you. Nobody is going to pick you up. And life is moving along without you because you're stuck in this deep dark place unable to move forward.

What is the Primary Difference Between Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Understanding the differences between Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is crucial for having a basic understanding of the impact of stress on mental health.
Tumblr media
Time Frame:
Acute Stress Disorder: This occurs shortly after a traumatic event, typically within three days to a month.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: PTSD develops if the symptoms persist for more than a month, lingering beyond the initial shock.
Symptom Duration:
Acute Stress Disorder: Symptoms last for a minimum of three days but can extend up to a month.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: For PTSD, symptoms endure for at least a month, affecting daily life and functioning.
Intensity of Reactions:
Acute Stress Disorder: Initial reactions to trauma are intense but may subside as time passes.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Symptoms are persistent and may intensify over time, significantly impacting daily activities and relationships.

I talk to many people who say things like "oh I have trauma but I don't have PTSD", but then when I talk to them a little more I realize that they most likely do, they just can't recognize it as such due to how lacking PTSD awareness is, even beyond the whole "it's not just a veteran's disorder" thing.
The main reason they think they don't have PTSD usually has to do with flashbacks and nightmares, either they have one but not the other or have neither. But here's the thing, those are only two symptoms out of the 23-odd recognized symptoms. Flashbacks and nightmares are two of the five symptoms under Criterion B (Intrusion), which you only need one of for a diagnosis. The other three symptoms are unwanted upsetting memories, emotional distress after being reminded of trauma and physical reactivity after being reminded of trauma (i.e. shaking, sweating, heart racing, feeling sick, nauseous or faint, etc). Therefore you can have both flashbacks and nightmares, one but not the other, or neither and still have PTSD.
In fact, a lot of the reasons people give me for why they don't think they have PTSD are literally a part of the diagnostic criteria.
"Oh, I can barely remember most parts of my trauma anyway." Criterion D (Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood) includes inability to recall key features of the trauma.
"Oh but I don't get upset about my trauma that often because I avoid thinking of it or being around things that remind me of it most of the time." Criterion C (Avoidance) includes avoiding trauma-related thoughts or feelings and avoiding trauma-related external reminders, and you literally cannot get diagnosed if you don't have at least one of those two symptoms.
"Oh I just have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, but I don't have nightmares." Criterion E (Alterations in Arousal and Reactivity) includes difficulting sleeping outside of nightmares.
"But I didn't have many/any trauma symptoms until a long time after the trauma happened." There's literally an entire specification for that.
Really it just shows how despite being one of the most well-known mental illnesses, people really don't know much about PTSD. If you have trauma, I ask you to at least look at the criteria before you decide you don't have PTSD. Hell, even if you don't have trauma, look at the criteria anyway because there are so many symptoms in there that just are not talked about.
PTSD awareness is not just about flashbacks and nightmares.

i have anxiety and also I am stressed out because I have a job interview but I feel so bad like I couldn't even get out. I am trying hard to not cry and I asked my mom to come with me. she doesn't even need to go inside. she can just wait for me in the cafe and I can buy her some coffee. but she said no to me and she got angry too. like.. what? why can't just be my mother and help me? my father is sleeping and my brother is just a child so I can't leave him alone. I think I am not going to the interview. I can't do this. I have someone maybe can come with me but he has classes. he is busy and I don't want him to see me like this. like freaked out and crying and... I can't do anything. I am a failure and I can't do a shit.

So I've had multiple mini breakdowns today because of the stress of everything right now.
Went to the uni photo lab to print my photo for the exhibit and just about had a mini stress breakdown doing so. First, I couldn't open up the box my paper was shipped in. Epson shipping boxes are over the top extra about keeping the paper safe. Don't get me wrong, I love never having to worry about my paper but omfg. It's so complicated for just no reason. It took me almost 20 minutes just trying to open the box. Then the printer was having issues and kept saying I didn't load the paper correctly. I was using the large format printer for 30in paper and that happens sometimes. Then it happened again and again and again. I eventually asked a technician for help and they couldn't figure it out. So they restarted the printer, we tried loading the paper again, then it finally worked. Then I printed, and while printing, the lab closed. So what I got was what I got. Thankfully, it was a good print, no scratches or color issue. But then came cleanup and getting the paper back into the box. It kept getting stuck on cardboard, the plastic protectors at the end would fall off or not go in straight, since the lab was closed I could feel the technicians getting annoyed I was taking so long to leave and I saw the one that helped me look at me a few times. That's when everything really amped up and the stress fully took over. Not to mention I wasn't able to close the box my paper was in because of how much I struggled to open it so I had to carry that and the exhibition print at the same time while not trying to drop the paper or scratch the print. It was a mess.
Then there was stress from grocery shopping, having my mom rushing me because it's hot, and ne rushing myself because I just wanted everything to end. In the elevator to my floor I almost started crying and started hitting myself from stress. Today's been a lot.
I'm waiting for my sheets to finish washing, then I'm going to finally shower and get into bed. I'm just so tired from everything. The day and everything else going on. Feeling lonely because one friend I only know online, with my other friend it's just complicated and awkward and I can't talk to them about stuff like this, and then the friend I consider myself closest to ... idek what our relationship is anymore because of everything that's just been messing with me. This depression has lasted since July with no breaks. I honestly can't tell what's from it and my head, or what's actually happening around me. Is our friendship still as strong as it was and this is an imagined distance, or is our friendship actually breaking? I literally don't know the answer to that and it's just tearing me apart.

Often, people experience some sort of traumatic event that can be very hard to deal with. However, in certain cases, these traumatic events have long-term ramifications that can cripple you with feelings of anger, anxiety, resentment, fear, and more. These sorts of events are called post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hate that every day I wake up, my first reaction is to panicky recollect which day it is, what time it is, if I have work or an appointment today or if I might have forgotten something important.

you're not a monster. you're you. you're flawed, yes, but you're also incredibly alive. just human. real. capable of great things, capable of change and growth, too. don't define yourself by the inner critic lashing out at you. you're not your worst moments.

Wild things I have learnt in therapy:
When a child cries, parents are supposed to comfort them, not punish them
Parents are, in fact, supposed to want to spend time with their children
Children too have a right to privacy, meaning parents are not allowed to read their diaries etc and then punish them for the thoughts they found about
Children are allowed to be upset and cry
Children don't have to earn the love and attention from their parents by performing various things
Children are not supposed to be scared of going home and/or their parents
Children are not supposed to be physically abused and even a little bit of hitting is actually physical abuse
Parents are not supposed to expect that children are mentally as mature as other adults
Children are not supposed to be told that they're an accident, a burden, or something the parents regret
Children are not supposed to be scared and ashamed of themselves or feel like failures because of their parents
