I can agree with this. I hate that when you have to mention ptsd everyone asks “we’re you in the war?!?”

[@Aunty87]

A family can pass these issues down for generations. Thank you for the info!

[@realcutecel420]

oh.

[@cleopatra297]

Woa! This is very informative. Thank you.

I have all of them except re-experiencing, I do have nightmares but they dont seem to be associated to the night

[@saltymedic85]

I wonder if this applies to EMS

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

👍👍

[@joyce71922ify]

I promise u can overcome this although it's a battle it's possible. Jesus truly is the only way asking for him for help repenting even for things we let in. Speaking the word over ourselves and fellowship not denying but telling the truth to others
