It's All In Your Head

What It's Like to Have PTSD

What it's like to have PTSD...

Some days I wake up not able to breathe.

Some days I worry I won't wake up at all, and I am just stuck in my nightmare.

Some days the past just keeps playing on repeat, flashing back over and over.

My heart races.

My breath quickens.

My muscles tighten.

My head spins.

My urges rage.

I cry.

I scream.

I hit.

I suffocate.

I drown in the past.

I wish this would all go away.

I wish I could cope.

I wish I could "just get over it".

I wish I could "move on".

But I can't.
