Some traumas aren't visible, but it's still alive on that person's mind. Be kind :)

1. Anxiety 2. Getting startled easily 3. Guilt, shame or self-blame 4. Aches and pains 5. Disconnected or daydreaming

Me: *experiences something bad.* Also me: Nah- everyone experiences this as well, this is normal.... Me: Secretly starts crying

That last sign of mental trauma sounds alot like a friend of mine, A large majority of their social life is mostly online and they hardly interact with anyone in person. They come from a life where their family tends to fight with each other. I want to help them but I just don't know how. They used to be very caring and loving, Now they tend to ignore everyone in person and just talk to people online. If theres one thing I've realized is that its insane of how much can change in a year period. Edit: This video has helped me gain a better insight on what someone may be going through.

Fact: mostly people watching Psych2Go is having problem or just want to take care of themselves better

I am often stressed for thinking about that my friends don’t like me and think that i’m annoying. Even if they say that isn’t true and they appreciate my company. My mind often goes to that and overthinks things and I don’t know how to solve it. I don’t know why my mind does this, but it happens usually every day at some point.

I've been diagnosed by a professional with PTSD along with others. This just came out for me and yesterday on the bus my abusive ex got on the same bus and I freaked out. I had to constantly remind myself that I wasn't back there anymore. I hope there's ways to hopefully get past it. I don't really feel safe right now to take the bus. I hope everyone else can get through and know it's not forever

I had all of those when I was younger, especially the anxiety. I was resentful as well.

The best of people have some form of scars! Bless anyone who is fighting a battle everyday 🙌

I daydream everyday, I put myself into different fandoms like Genshin Impact, Danganronpa, Vocaloid :’)

I NEEDED this....

I hate the fact that my way of coping with trauma is humor, I have bad responses to trauma but I just joke about it, and that's why people just assume that I'm alright and when I ACTUALLY ask for help, no one listens

"It should of been me" is definitely what I think often. She deserved to live. She was so young and what happened shouldn't of. Logically it should of been me as well, because I'm more prone to it than she was, and it's unfair. She had so much ahead of her and I'm just a useless nothing. I don't deserve to be here.

Why it's so easy to express our problems and emotions in the online world than in the actual world?

When youtube videos are more comforting than the people around you.

Currently, I'm living in a house with some people to take care of me and I sometimes find it hard to walk or my elbows or knees hurt. Now I may know why, because my body seems just fine. To all of you amazing potatos: Get enough rest, water and food, beacuse that's what I want you to do.

Sending love and peace to anyone dealing with PTSD ❤

0:46 Fighting in an armed conflict or being stranding in a no man's land are pretty common causes too. That's how they discovered PTSD, from studying the behavior ans thoughts of shellshocked and otherwise traumatized soldiers during both World Wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

I- That actually makes a lot more sense now Anyway I have therapy later today so wish me luck

To you reading this: please take care ❤️ It’s ok if you are feeling overwhelmed. Just know that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. All you have to do is making a tiny step every day in the right direction, by making positive choices. Spend time in nature, exercise, eat healthy, reach out to friends and family, socialize. Yes, when you are feeling depressed even getting out of bed seems daunting, but I promise you; if you make an effort in doing these things, you will feel better. Much love, from a small KZfaqr ❤️🚀🌙

May we all find happiness love and luck soon in life….

It's a physical condition that can be psychologically traumatizing, that if the physical condition can't be corrected, the psychological trauma can't be terminated. The Elephant Man understood as much.

I lived in consistent abusive, chaotic, traumatic environment's from my earliest memory. I thought being abused was Normal for so long. I am now single @ almost 59 year's old, have been going in three years now. I'm so thankful to the Lord for rescuing me.🙏🙌💝

I’ve noticed with ptsd the day dreaming and withdrawal aka fantasizing is also a major common thing and if tied with survivors grief is awful and hard to deal with.

Hi Psych2Goers!! 👋😊 My wish for you is to find the strength and help to cope and overcome your struggle. We're all on our own path of growth, but we can do it together! Have a healthy day!

I experienced terrible situations that just made me feel miserable even now. I don't know how I'm still alive at this point, but I guess I have to be strong. Thanks for your videos.

Me to everyone: I'm okay :D! Psych2go: *no.*

I recently discovered I have trauma. I knew I went through a lot as a kid and shrugged it off because it’s in the past. But talking out loud to a professional about my past really opened my eyes and explains why I am the way I am with all my symptoms: anxiety, panic attacks, disassociation, feeling bad about things no matter how small, etc. It feels good to know I’m not alone

The most painful event happened to me was when my mother slip into coma. I watched her dying in front of me. It was the most painful thing to see. I went home and stayed inside my room whole afternoon until my brother asked me to go back to the hospital. She died. I hugged and kissed her still warm body yet not breathing anymore. Since then everytime a memory of her on the hospital flashback, I get nervous. I feel like suffocating. I keep blaming myself and imaging scenarios where I could save her. I feel alone and scared of the future without her in my life. I stopped looking at her pics and vids. I just don't want to remember. I even asked my family not to talk about what happened to her in the hospital. I even planned to travel far from our home town where I can see everything that will make me remember her

Idk but I am young and have all those points I am so disappointed and sad that I have a trauma but STILL my family is there for me I think it will be okay 😊 and if you have trauma too than, recover fast

Not-So-Fun Fact: witnessing a death can do it too! Such as a violent health onset or a injury that happens in front of you..

i didn’t know me disconnecting from reality could cause more damage. i didn’t know that was my coping mechanism. wow. day dreaming… crazy

I was medically diagnosed with PTSD and these type of videos help me so much because I’m trying my best to spot the things that I do as a response of trauma so I can change them or at least know that is a trauma response and not just me. Also this comment section made me feel super protected and that I’m not alone, thank you for that❤️

When I watch videos like this, I cry. Not because it hurts my feelings, but because I’m understanding more and more of how I relate to these, and how I’m not as ok as I hoped I was.

Ur voice is so calming, its like ur my dream audible voice

I've had PTSD for 33 years it's a nightmare literally best wishes to all those who are suffering

Why Things that I'm proud in the Past, Now It become Shame and Guilty?...

Ayyy some of these are disturbingly relatable

I have been promoting your site. You have helped me avoid some very toxic situation and taught me how to really live with society and enjoy others.

My mother caught covid after going into the hospital for something completely unrelated to covid. She passed it on to Me. I was taking care of my mom when she developed a bad cough and had to go to the hospital. I couldn't drive, no license or car, so we were desperately searching for a ride because 911 would be expensive. I can't get the struggles my mom went through to grasp on to life out of my head and it effects me on a daily basis. "I can't breathe" with heavy gasps for air will forever haunt me. Non stop coughing and restless nights will always haunt me. I pulled through, she almost pulled through. She tried her best,, kicked covids ass, but passed away because her heart was weak from fighting the hardest battle of her life. She's my inspiration but now I have bad anxiety and I get attacks randomly. I haven't seeked help yet, and I'd be lying if I said I never thought about ending it. I felt useless. I know that's not what she wanted for me, so I'm struggling and pushing forward. Love you ma, catch over me. Just like you said I'm destined for greatness Rest in Peace 12/26/1970 - 3/11/21

i went through emotional trauma that sent me into a serious depression for several years a long time ago and it took me a while to understand the grief and accept myself but still all this time later there is still little things that could trigger some tears although sometimes its feels good to let it out even if i dunno what it is im letting out

Mostly what I remember from my past are all the bad moments and pain I've went through and/or witnessed. Thanks to those traumas, I barely trust anyone with my feelings and thoughts anymore. Because most of them turned their back on me or crush me right before me. So I basically have trust issues because of my past. That is all

You guys hanging in there well.. And I'm sooo proud of you guys and also myself for still going on and on.. one day your wounds will be a pretty scar, until then take care and don't give up

I lost my mum this month, and I lost my dad 6 years ago, and now my grandpa is in critical condition. I am emotionally devastated and unsure of my future. Most of all, I felt lonely, isolated, and incapable of overcoming the trauma because of the pandemic. Aimlessness is all I feel...

I have a habit of reliving my past whenever it comes to thinking about memories that trigger certain fight or flight responses. It's like I'm not the one controlling my body and looking at it in a third person pov while disassociating. Which is weird.. I haven't been in anything that would actually CAUSE this to happen but there's stuff we often push out of our conscious and it influences out subconscious self with anxiety and fear. If anyone knows what this is can you please give me some coping tips for handling it? Please and thank you 🖤

i have always wondered why i get startled very easily, it also shocks the people around me and i just laugh it off. rather than daydreaming, i read a lot to create my own world. i could go up to 40+ books in a year, its just one after another non stop

I think so many of us deal with so much pain and society shames us or people just dismiss us for being "negative" . Thank you for your beautiful content. This gives me hope that people will be more understanding and accepting in the future. I have a tremendous amount of anger from the severe abuse and slander I've had to deal with and this helps me realize that I'm normal and working on healing through therapy WILL eventually heal me. I am also reminded that I need to start being less defensive and use gratitude and grace to help me heal (although it is totally ok to feel horrible and let feelings out too.) Thank you.

You guys upload just when I need it the most. Thank you, I've been feeling like such a burden lately 🙏

I definitely have dealt with psychological trauma all my life. And now it’s become worse in my adulthood

the AOT reference (spoiler manga chapter 139) where Mikasa is sitting at Eren’s grave

These all fit. Especially the "startle easily"...always on edge waiting for the next bad thing to happen. I have been in that "startle state" my whole life. At 62 years old, I am still in the "startle easily" state. I recognize that I have been in the "fight or flight mode" my whole life , due to childhood trauma. In fact after years and years of living in this "fight or flight mode" with it's elevated cortisol levels, I actually developed a Pituitary Macro Adenoma! Now, because of that Pituitary tumor, I have three chronic illnesses. Trauma and stress doesn't just mess with your psyche, it has many physical consequences also. I would add one more subtle sign of trauma also, inability to cope with loud noises! As my nerves have always been on edge, I cannot cope with loud noise.

It’s one thing to get “help”, it’s another stressing over who can “help” without it costing an arm and a leg. They say money can’t buy everything, but nowadays, it’s all people want in order to “help” those who are struggling, even those who’re hardly getting by on bills and rent during the pandemic. It’s really hard.

My grandmother (RIP a bada&$ woman) would tell me "sometimes, Time is the only thing that will help. You just gotta give it time." She's right.

I hope you can make video about "How to maintain or restart long distance friendship" I badly need it, I'm having a hard time because of my best friend, hope you can help me☹️🙏

I really have breakdowns because I don’t know what’s happening to me. And this channel really helped me to know what the problem with me:)

Honestly I relate to all of this. I would overthink/daydream/ my hands would shake every-time I play piano in front of people. Bc my parents would never say they were proud of me or anything. I would jump/my chest and stomach would drop every time I hear someone yell. Or say something hurtful. I’m now trying to heal from stuff that happened in my home/family life in the past. And how I would self harm myself Cus I’ve been silent and pretending to be happy for years and now there doing the same thing to my siblings and I won’t have them go through the same thing I’ve done and went through in the past. Some truama might not be visible or you might think the other person is happy but everyone is going through something in life so always be kind to others and yourself. That can take you and then a long way in life

The "getting startled easily" one reminds me of something like two days ago i went to the bakery to buy some bread. When i walked there was a guy who was behind me, doing the exact same road as me. I thought he was following me so i started walking faster and faster, while i was scared and thinking about if he wanted to do something to me At the end, the guy was going to the bakery too because he worked there, i felt stupid i usually don't go out and when i do i'm like in a hypervigilance status, looking everywhere, especially behind my back, and try to make sure if no one's trying to do something suspicious, especially men

personally, i don’t think I’ve ever experienced significant trauma in my life but i do find the symptoms very in line with myself. i think it may be due to an anxiety thing, or just stress, but constant worrying, aches and pains, guilt, overthinking, and stress are making me realize i may have some kind of issue understanding stress and my surroundings. this video just out that into perspective for me, but i was wondering if anyone had any tips that have helped them manage constant stress and anxiety?

Thank you, you guys are really making psychology more accessible to us. Also for those out there who are struggling because of traumas, you're not alone. It is not easier to be back to how you were before the trauma, but work on yourself and eventually, you will. I know because I am doing this. I am trying to be better than I have ever been. You need to fight for yourself.

Dear People of the World, I have struggled with all of these. I have actually found my Twin Flame recently (literally someone that is the other half of your soul, in spiritual terms) and that journey has helped me face myself tremendously and heal from all the trauma I have gone through. I used to want to take my life - gone through MULTIPLE suicide attempts because of various reasons and now I have grown so much from it and became wiser about the world and am working to be a better version of myself. When I finally do become the best version of myself I can be, I am looking to fulfill my destiny of helping the beings of the world and leaving a legacy of doing so. For all of you struggling out there, you are not alone. Taking your life or hurting yourself will not stop the pain at all. TRUST ME, I have been there myself. Please keep moving forward and working to get help and be the best version of yourself you can be. Never lose hope. God is always watching and protecting us even with the most difficult times. As hard as it is, try not to let other people’s words and actions define YOU as an individual. Try not to let your own actions define your destiny. I may not know any of you. But I believe that everything and everyone are connected. Regardless of race, color, sexuality, gender, mental and physical issues, different countries and backgrounds, all of us in the world are family. We mustn’t judge, bully, criticize, or abuse one another because of any qualities they may have (like the ones I’ve listed above). We must learn to stand with one another and respect each other like how birds of the same feather flock together. Remember that. Stay strong, stay healthy, and keep being the warriors that you all are. 👑 Love, Sahana ♥️

Please know that everything you go through is real and valid it was not your fault and also don't call yourself the victim call yourself the survivor you survived that shit you are the strongest person I sure as hell know know that there is someone out there who Loves and accepts you❤️

I think I have psychological trauma Whenever my dad is going upstairs..which is to my room I immediately hear his footsteps and I get scared that he will ground me again or worse hurt me

Im crying .... suffered so much trauma for a decade and some change from foster care that im both hyper-alert unintentionally & can go emotionally numb unintentionally at the same time. I don’t have money for therapy. And i have nobody that actually cares or checks up on me - literally. Been trying SO hard not to take myself out lately from pain, but then again, i guess thats where my emotional numbness comes in. I don’t mean to sound like a sob, but i just cant find a way to navigate through healing ... i dont want to feel alone 😞 i wish everyone who sees this lots of love, peace, growth, healing and protection from harm 🍃💚🌹

“Affects men and women differently” me: 😗✌️ I ain’t neither 😩

Some people be like: each of one is relatable but I don't have any mental illness or trauma (: Reality: *everything is so relatable and they do have mental illness or trauma* ):

This may not be the biggest thing ever, but I still kinda wanna share it. So like 4 years ago, I had this "friend". We were best friends, but we also hated each other. She completely changed my personality, and when I think back, I can't do anything else than just see an asshole that was me for like a year. Anyways. She told her mom things I apparently did. So her mom called my mom and I to their house to "have a talk". Then proceeds to scream at a 9 year old child for 2 hours straight. I can legit remember their house, a little bowl with nuts, their garden and all those things. That experience is probably why I never feel safe around adults, especially other people's parents. I also got some quite serious trust issues from it. It doesn't matter how big or small the thing you got trauma from is. It should always be treated in some way or another

Dude the level of animation just keeps getting better and better.

No one: Me: **relates to all of the points** Also me: NAHHHHHH it wasn’t THAT bad

I have cptsd. I’m currently going to therapy for it. To the person reading this and has the same issue. You are so strong

Although undiagnosed, depression and maybe now PtSD, I suffered getting cold feet from my partner amongst other things during a period of my life. I can’t really see couples together, or watch anything with wedding related things. I get hysteric and start crying with a blank face, or go through immense stages of guilt and shame, and fear. I have to remove myself from the situation and if I’m home, my body just “shuts down” as in I get really drowsy and sleep. After many years of going to sleep to avoid painful thoughts, crying or self harm in my younger years, I guess this is a precaution for my body that it takes to protect me from “me” so yes. Trauma, in all its forms, is real. Treat everyone kindly.

i have all of these symptoms, but no-one is going to trust me if i open up, they will just say "you are too young, how can you have mental illness?!" or " your life is perfect, u r just trying to gain attention"

I discovered your channel this morning and I'm in love with it! You are all amazing your videos are so clear and interesting, keep going

People don't understand how important and essential psychological help is!

I got robbed at gunpoint when I was 6, I ran away leaving my mom behind and I hid behind a door and in between this cabinet space and saw the guy threw the sliver of the door creak. I heard a loud bang and thought my mom was dead but I stayed inside in case they hadn't left. My mom came back, and the police did nothing. I don't think I ever truly processed that moment in my life. I have GAD and had the symptoms of anxiety my whole life nonetheless.

the weird thing is, that i when i remember my traumatic event, that i feel like i have to throw up but i dont.

Recently I had a very bad fight with my toxic freinds that make me leave in trauma 😔

Yes. I've been dealing with psychological trauma my whole life.

When I was 12 I almost died from a twisted ovary and had to have emergency surgery, a year ago I was diagnosed with ptsd from it. But I invalidated myself by saying “well I don’t have panic attacks or stuff like that when I think about it” but I fail to realize that when I feel any phantom pain or period cramps my anxiety gets 100% times worse and i usually end up crying when I’m alone about it

I'm always daydreaming and I never stopped to think about it...

Psychologists, doctors and other therapists should use these videos to educate themselves. Thank you for your work, these videos extremely helpful for the people! 💖

I was diagnosed bipolar schizophrenia that was made at the early age of 5 . The event mental and physical broke me that damaged my psyche !

Last year was a period of Social isolation for me thanks your videos really help

I watch to understand myself. If I understand myself; I can help me. I'm just now understanding trauma and my depression. Sadly I must add anxiety to my mental health issues. Keep the videos coming!

Not me, but my friend. That’s difficult to watch, can’t imaging how difficult to experience. I will do everything I can to help him(

Love your content so much... thankyou for posting this video at a perfect time when I'm suffering from depression 😀

so many things are happening with me that make me so confussed i don't even know who i am with my confusing feelings, and habbits

So that is why I am so resilient to trauma, At a very young age around 1 year old, My hips were smashed in a traumatic situation. I almost died. In fact its the clearest and oldest memory I have. Because I have since lived 44 more years with mind numbing pain of my body. It kinda put a shield on me to resist mental health sickness such as depression and suicidal tenancies. Once I was able to meditate and go into zen, The pain is now gone but I have all the resistances to that trauma, witch I also used to wield massive powers and not let it corrupt.. Or at least I choose to resist corruption with all my heart.

My worst psychological trauma, is to being Ignore., as an introvert, unlike most of Introverts, I'm ignored by my friends even though i haven't shown or Said Any bad thing, i rarely go outside. I even haven't got Bullied once. They show no plans to me, and they never ask me if i want to go with them

This channel should be promoted to global leaders or anyone in positions of power so they realize how their action or inactions affect people.

All of these apply to me loss of a child and the loss of my partner 🙁❤️thankyou 👍🏻

Trauma is real. It's a cycle of shame, guilt and emotional turmoil. People got be nicer, there's already enough darkness out there.

I was always told my life was happy. I have 2 parents who aren’t separated, I have enough money to buy unnecessary items, I have people who love me. But I was never happy… I always felt guilty for it because I had everything one could ask for. It started when my grandpa died I guess. I was 9 and honestly never saw him much as he lived in India. One night my mother was crying so I hugged her because that’s what my dad said to do. I remember her crying on my shoulder for what felt like hours. I felt so useless. When I was 10 I made some friend who were a horrible influence and they stuck with me until I was 12. The good part of that is I realized I was bi/pan at a young age. Also during that time I made online friends, got social media which I used a lot and my social rank at school dropped by a lot. One of the online friends used me and another girl so she could feel better, she “dated” us both at the same time and made us feel powerless…again. 7th grade I ghosted everyone that reminded me of the traumatic events I had been through. At the time I didn’t think of it as traumatic though, traumatic is if someone got hit my a car or shot… I was 13 and again my life looked perfectly normal. I got made fun of for the videos I posted on social media which I couldn’t delete because I forgot the email and password. I cried myself to sleep thinking that nothing could get worse… then my dad lost his job. I found out while he was talking to my mom 2 days before my birthday. They told me a month later about it. I’m almost 14 now and I have realized I can’t changed the past… I just have to live with the consequences of my actions. I sleep at 4 am and wake up around 2pm. I can’t get professional help so I’m trying to figure it out on my own. If anyone has Ideas I’m open to hearing them. I feel that I’m always to dramatic describing these events and it wasn’t that bad but oh well.

I know I am suffering from psychological trauma. Last year, between September 2nd-January 26 of this year. I saw someone "Code" and die. I was physically and verbally Abused by Nurses, Coded and had to be revived by doctors, several times. I suffer from Nightmares and get easily Angered, and get paranoid, when I am hospitalized for a day or 2. It's gotten so bad, I recommended to get seen by a Psychologist, because I am argumentative and get Angry for the tiniest to no reasons if I feel offended.

My last 8 years summed up in a video

Whoever animated this made the things I like look soo good so thank you
