It’s PTSD Awareness Day. .
.

What does PTSD look like?
.
.

Like me. .
.

No, I’m not a veteran. Yes, our courageous veterans are the largest group with PTSD. .
.

It’s also women who are like me. .
.

Survivors. .
.

I’m a #MeToo that left me vulnerable to trauma and abuse. A lifetime of it, honestly. .
.

As a young child, I would spend many nights trapped in sleep paralysis - hours and hours paralyzed in my body with nightmares I couldn’t stop. .
.

I went on to several abusive relationships that ultimately led to a breakdown. No, I wasn’t crazy. I was traumatized. .
.

The nightmares have lessened. I’ve learned how to live with PTSD, even thrive, as it never really goes away. .
.

Trauma. Abuse. They take a toll on our psyches. They get stored in our cells - bypassing our conscious memory. Many times, those memories don’t release for years, if not decades. .
.

I’m no longer ashamed to admit it. .
.

I have PTSD. .
.

Do you? .
.

The thing is I don’t see it as a disorder. .
.

Why?
.
.

Because I didn’t do anything wrong. Trauma and abuse must not leave us with the burden of being stigmatized or living in shame. .
.

That only perpetuates the trauma. It gives power to the abuser. .
.

If you are a survivor, please join me in speaking up and speaking out. The only way to erase the stigma of PTSD is to normalize it by sharing our stories. .
.

What’s your story?
.
.

I’m ok. You’re ok. .
.
