Shame seems to be the hardest hitting thing from my (if it is )PTSD
When i got hospitalized for a minor issue, I refuzed to take injection before I was consulted by a specialist. It was 5 in the morning and the asistances tied me up to bed, strangles me with a towel and still gave me the shot. Yeah I got a trauma from that.

Definitely.
I don’t think I have it but I think SZ can definitely play a factor in developing PTSD.
Schizophrenia is so exhausting, totally agree. What you are saying is exactly how I feel a lot. I’m doing it, living life, but it’s just not easy. Sometime just standing in line at the grocery store, I get this physical anxiety, paranoia, etc. and it’s those types of moments numerous times daily that wear me down. Still here though.
I got a PTSD diagnosis from psychosis.
I woke up one night and I was just like freaking out and I told my dad and I was making strange gestures and freaking out
My dad called and ambulance and they took me to the ER which was only five minutes away
When they took me into the back I think immediately I started roaming around and telling everybody to slow down and I went to the doctor and said can I have a hug and I hugged the doctor
Of course they were questioning me intensively and I was just out of it and then two guys came into the room and took belts and wrestled me and strapped me to the rails
They then gave me an Enormous amount of Haldol in a shot in the side of my arm while I was strapped down
I became ZOMBIFIED in an hour and I couldn’t even keep my eyelids open
And of course it was five in the morning and my mom got there and was wiping my head with a cool rag
I don’t know why but I’m not traumatized by this cause I knew it was standard procedure and I needed it
But to be strangled is definitely something that would have traumatize me for my life probably
I’m sorry they were inappropriate with you

I think it’s definitely possible.
I’ve had a bunch of moments which were truly traumatic throughout this illness.
What’s more is that I have a lot of trauma from the experience of hallucinating voices and visuals.
It affects my daily life, and can be scary at times. So yes, I think it’s possible to have PTSD from psychosis.

Yes it is called psychosis induced ptsd and is a researched phenomenon. I have been diagnosed with ptsd due to my psychosis actually.
