I also got out of Jury duty by stating I have SZ
I would be judging the person based on weather I see a spark or dash (this is from my SZ)
it would truly be unfair
Just going to Jury Duty and making a Judgment on somebody could in reality cause me trauma. My voices could drive me crazy because I really dont like to Judge people.
Anything that helps a person with PTSD to continue or move on with their life as healthy as they can be would be great.
For me it is not how the trauma is effecting others in the persons life it is about how it is effecting the individual. I dont think any guilt or shame or punishment should be felt by the individual because they have trauma. Definitely professional help is needed. Things like hatred and anger and unbelief and reasoning and blame should be dealt with professionally. Any healthy thing that stops the persons suffering and loneliness.
People can start talking about and working through traumatic events when their ready to. Most get over it but some never do.
I would never tell someone to “get over” their trauma.
Trauma is personal, so what do I know about another person’s trauma? Nothing. All I would be doing is judging, blaming and shaming the person, which only adds to their trauma. I’d be taking away their power and ability to process their trauma on their terms. Not my terms.
Thanks @Catman.
I think people should strengthen themselves as much as they can in every way they can. Health is largely different kinds of strength working together.
I don’t think so
Bad things happening us teaches survival
Not saying that you should ruminate over and over again, but you need to protect yourself from being put in the position again
Trust me, I have not got the balance right but I think one can be found with hard work
No one gets over their trauma completely but one can certainly work on managing the pain.
The trauma never really leaves as the scars remain
I still experience the effects of the bullying related trauma via fragile self confidence/esteem/worth/periods of intense emotional pain. It’s a bit better than it used to be, but I very much doubt I’ll ever totally get over it.
Added to the above,not pursuing further education, because of the fear of being bullied again. It’s not always easy, but I try to live with things as they are - rather than how they could/should’ve been. I have a great chosen family. A family that I love sky high and ocean deep. My mobility isn’t great, but the general consensus after the 2nd fall was that I’d be permanently wheelchair bound (rather than just being in one outside in wide open spaces). Physical health has dipped, but it could be a lot worse. My mind is still very good. Compared to my age group or not. Mental health not top notch, but the best it’s been for a long time.
I have my interests-politics,mental health,genealogy, quizzes and tests from playbuzz to high range IQ, Am fairly active on Twitter and Facebook,
Life could be a lot worse.
I had a severe anxiety to the point of agoraphobia which climaxed in my 20’s likely due to things I see no need to rehash atm. The anxiety still crops up from time to time. So, I understand the damage can linger from early events in your life. It’s not as much about getting completely over the damage, IMO, as its about letting go of the cause of the damage and accepting things as they are IMO. Just trying to accept that the things happened and they can’t be changed.
At least that’s the way I see it. I rarely think about the causes of it at this point in my life because I accept that they happened and are over and can’t be changed, and I think it does me good.
Edit: You just can’t let thinking about events in the past consume you in the present, IMO. It does no one any good. Least of all yourself.
I think a lot of people suffering from trauma at points in their life they use social media to vent and process it. Ive done this in the past and ive come across it a lot as well
Thanks @firemonkey and @anon29983254.
Some trauma is not easy to get over… working through it and healing from the pain is important though for peace of mind and well being.
Thanks for answering @anon63380492.
People should identify trauma and seek help to overcome the lingering feelings of despair, shock, worthlessness, disappointment etc.
It’s natural to complain. It’s futile to believe complaining alone will improve your present and future.
Thanks for answering @Andrey.
I was physically, mentally and sexually abused throughout my childhood by my father and likewise by my husband throughout our 10 year relationship. I “got over it” when I was 45 years old and my father apologized for the incest, I fell out of love with my ex husband, and I had a spiritual experience.
Thank you for your answer @SkinnyMe.
Well, I had to move past my trauma for my own sake. Sometimes things happen and it triggers past trauma. Then I have to get over a new situation. It is what it is.
