PTSD & C-PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Disease, whichever one you use they are still the same.
I have had PTSD since Sep 2021, when I actually witnessed an incident that affected me emotionally, even though I have served as soldier for best part of 23 years. I have seen things that would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end but I have not physically seen an incident that caused the death of a human being.
This all changed in 2021 and subsequently a programme I watch sparked off emotions in me that I have not felt since I witnessed the incident.
Now the definition of PTSD is that anyone can be exposed to trauma, an episode that has caused fear, helplessness or horror in responses to the threat of injury or death.
C-PTSD (complex-PTSD) is the emotions and feelings associated with PTSD that are difficult to understand and control.
Now when we associate PTSD we think mainly about the front line soldiers fighting the enemy, usually in CQB (close quarter battle), this is not always the case. I shot this video for my YouTube channel to get a message across to my audience.

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Thank you for your comment, the post is very personal to me as I’ve experienced PTSD first hand, even though is has been many years past, I still get flashbacks from witnessing the accident, I don’t think that will ever change.
Kind regards
