The Reality of Living with PTSD

PTSD isn’t something anyone should take lightly. I been tired of hearing people say they have PTSD because it’s not something to take lightly. Until someone has actually felt what it’s like to experience PTSD (and yes I know people experience it differently ) the words I have PTSD should never come out. That fight you fight in your sleep as if something is really happening,that feeling you get after physically fighting for your life in your sleep ,not only gets you mentally but also physically because your body hurts like hell . That constant panic that you have to be ready for what is going to happen. I have went to sleep in this house with something to protect me,I have walked with knives on my waist band because I felt like I had to be ready to protect and fight for myself.
