PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) - Why dont we talk about it more?


There is a misconception that PTSD is something that just affects soldiers or first responders, this isn't the case, it can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed something traumatic.

That could be:-

🟠 A serious accident or injury

🟠 Caring for a child who is seriously ill

🟠 Physical or emotional abuse

🟠 Grief, loss, or unexpected life change

🟠 Ongoing stress or violence


The symptoms don’t always show up right away, and often people try to carry on as if everything’s fine, believing themselves, that they will "get over it, and feel better soon" while struggling with flashbacks, sleep problems, anxiety, or a constant feeling of being “on edge.”


But PTSD doesn’t make you weak, It’s a natural response to overwhelming experience, and most importantly, it’s treatable.


At Someone To Talk To, we support people every day who are living with the aftershocks of trauma.

Our professionals offer safe, confidential space to talk, process, and begin the journey to healing, without judgment and at your own pace.


If this sounds familiar, for you or someone you care about, please know, you don’t have to go through it alone.đŸ«¶
