Medical PTSD
I am not going to go into any specifics about bad medical experiences in this post. Trigger warning for general discussion of medical ptsd/trauma.
I'm curious what others' experiences are with medical PTSD/trauma. I know many of us have had really awful times with adrenal crisis.
Have you ever had to updose to deal with PTSD, mental illness, or psychological stress?
What coping strategies or treatments have helped you deal with the psychological trauma of living with this illness?
I encourage you to include a trigger warning at the beginning of your comment if you are going to share specifics about a tough experience. I just want to make it easier for those of us in a vulnerable place to navigate the comments and find helpful advice, while still making a space to discuss specifics for those who want/need to.
