Wow, that sounds really scary and intense. That is how I feel quite often. My triggers are "usually" anything to do with cars, vehicles or any sound they make. It's tough and getting people to understand is even harder it seems. Thank you for sharing your story. Was it just that one time? Also when I say "just" my intent is not to minimize it at all. Just once is enough. too mch really

I was not just once but I rapidly had to find a way out, so I controlled it and killed it. Meditation, focus and re immersing myself into the situation repeatedly and controlling my motions as how I conquered it
good for you. I'm glad it worked :) I just saw a documentary on meditation and PTSD I'd like to try that.
If you feel you can share what happened to you, I will try to help,in any way I can
Wow, Nedspeaks. What an amazing thing to do for a stranger. I've had this for around 2 decades. I had a period of 8 pretty good years where I was functional and doing pretty well. It was still there but I didn't get triggered that often. I moved away to another state and all of the sudden it was severe again. I'm working on getting treatment right now. I've been looking for months but I think I've finally found a really good therapist. I'm just waiting on the paperwork right now. I'm hoping I can talk about this stuff from a more positive space soon :) Thank you so much. It's people like you in the steemit community that just make my heart happy :)
Sounds like you are in the right frame of mind. Best of luck
I'm always open if you have anything you'd like to share. privately or on here :)
I have some past posts about my story to try to raise awareness through my story. but I didn't understand steemit that much and I didn't really have anyone following me. I'll probably repost when I get a broader following. I'm working on collaborating with a few people on here to share each others stories and possibly integrate/collaborate together reach out to survivors and family and friends of survivors. And frankly, anyone that's interested. :)
