What do PTSD episodes look/feel like for you?

Hi! I’ve had POTS since I was a child but wasn’t diagnosed until a little over a year ago. I have needed a cane for a long time, but refused to use one due to trauma and fear of judgment. I’m working on healing from this.

I have finally accepted that I need a mobility aid for support with walking and standing/getting up. My doctor prescribed me a cane and I just started using it. I just want to say I am blown away by how much it is helping me already. But since my neighbors have only known me without one, I am worried people will ask me what happened and things like that.
