I don't think i've talked about this at all, but when dad got really sick and he was in a hospital in russia, he was in really bad shape. And i i've had really bad experiences in hospitals. So before he and my mum got sick, i had a panic attacks going into hospitals. So i never had panic attacks going into hospitals. I got better and my auto immunity went into remission, and then whenever i went in to hospital, i'd have a panic attack. And was like, i'm not someone that that happens to. I don't understand what's going on. So that's kind of where i was. And then my mum got a cancer, and i had to go visit her in a hospital. And then my dad got really sick, and i ended up, after, am, after we went to russia, i ended up with flash backs from the hospital in russia. And i was like, i'd like, id i guess this is p t s d. So i was having these intensely vivid nightmares where i'd lay down and i'd have thee extremely vivid nightmares of these hospites, hospital in russia. And i think that was partly because my dad was still sick. So it's not like it was something that happened and that was over. It was still continuing a and it definitely interrupted my sleep. I just kind of like it went away eventually. It took about a year of nightmares, though i didn't, i don't think i talked about that, because it was just, was like, i guess that's just the thing that happens. Now, rose, like, i didn't realize, you kind of induce it, even if you haven't you now gone to war or something, if you just dramatize yourself hend that can just happen to you. Ye,
Speaker 1
no, that's tat secte a very good pointcausewe do tend to associate p t s just with people who have never been in combat, in the military, in the army. But am unow, that's just not the case, like people who have been in really bad car accidents, you rake victims. Am youe really your poor dramatic a childhood experiences like es, a lot of different things that can, youll bring up t s t symptoms, and they all exhibit nore the same symptoms. So like, whether you ou not have p t s d from your being in afghanistan and being at war, or whether you have p t s d from our sexual abuse from from childhood, no, they all tend to have the same, same symptoms. So in the daytime, the big thing is hyper vigilance. Yoconoli always like feeling like on edge. And a lot of a, no f people that have been in the army, and when they say you'll be like looking out their window on that kind of thing, cause that's what they're used to. Theyre, they're, theyre used to being very, very hyper vigilant. And then at night time, again, yo, the hey etend to have nightmares. But again, that happens to someone o, whether they have norpets, from your really poor, dramatic childhood experiences, or from yo, someone who's been in the army, and everything in between, like, everyone tends to exhibit very similar symptoms over all.
