Origins of PTSD

 

if too many struggles the mind becomes apprehensive the soul becomes weary.

a child stood afar. a father said, “Come closer—I will not hit you.” the child was leery, but he came closer. the father grabbed him, knocking fear/distrust into him. the child is successful now, but he never gets close to others. this is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

it seems general, many have it, especially, in our angered edifice.

a young girl fist fought her mother—this happened until she turned eighteen. the girl has an issue. she gets angry, she fights. this is PTSD.

a son turned seventeen. as he went to lie down, he felt different. he was unusually talkative, he couldn’t sleep, he mumbled unintelligibly. he was closer to God. his movements and styles were capricious. at the hospital, they told him, he was Bipolar One. it was explained to him. it felt like something was missing. no amount of explanation seemed to get close to the actuality. more time was needed. People shunned him, disapproved of him, it became normal. This caused PTSD.

a twelve-year-old was dazing off, hearing voices, paranoid, and angry. the parents tried to deal with it. It became too much to keep inhouse. the girl was taken to a psychiatrist, and diagnosed with childhood schizophrenia. the girl grew into a woman, quit her medication, subsequently, found raising two daughters. One she beat but loved—the other she beat and disliked. on an occasion, the lady came home, she chastised and whooped the one she disliked. the girl asked why she was doing this, the lady said, “I am whooping you for the things I didn’t catch you doing.” the little girl became a woman, suffered deeply, she had PTSD.

the agony of the situation the battle of the childhood, at the tyranny of the mind. unable to get closer, unable to listen to people, unable to accept the surface appearance—believing when they can, they will.

how many years to heal? how many sessions? how many mistakes? two would have to trust at some point; both would need to work at it; the responsibility would be getting information, and applying formulas.
