Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing traumatic events.

Individuals with PTSD may experience a range of symptoms including intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts. Symptoms can be severe and persistent, significantly impacting daily functioning and quality of life.

Anyone can experience PTSD. ⬅️

Approximately 6 out of every 100 people will have PTSD at some point in their lives. While it can be a long-term condition, many people recover and no longer meet the diagnostic criteria after receiving appropriate treatment.

PTSD in Veterans

Veterans are more likely to have PTSD than civilians. The likelihood increases significantly for veterans who have deployed to a war zone compared to those who have not. This increased risk is due to the intense and often traumatic experiences associated with combat and deployment.

Unbeknownst to each other, we all decided to wear our t-shirts today! 👖🦅 🇺🇸

Remember and honor the brave men and women who fought for our freedom. 🦅 🇺🇲

BRAIN FOG 👇

Brain fog refers to a feeling of mental cloudiness or confusion. It can make it difficult to focus, remember things, or think clearly. While it's not a medical condition itself, it's often a symptom of an underlying issue, such as stress, fatigue, or certain medical conditions.

Many individuals with PTSD experience symptoms of brain fog. The constant stress and hypervigilance associated with PTSD can lead to cognitive difficulties, such as trouble concentrating, forgetfulness, and a feeling of being mentally "foggy."

Addressing PTSD related brain fog often requires a treatment plan. This may include therapy, medication, stress management techniques, and lifestyle changes to improve overall cognitive function and mental clarity.

We have a new sign!! 👖🦅 🇺🇸

Coping strategies for managing stress and trauma:

1. Seek Support: Talk to trusted friends, family, or a therapist who can provide emotional support and guidance.

2. Practice Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or yoga can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.

3. Engage in Physical Activity: Regular exercise can help reduce stress and improve mood by releasing endorphins, the body's natural stress relievers.

4. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine, as these can exacerbate stress.

5. Limit Exposure to Triggers: Identify triggers that worsen your stress or trauma symptoms and try to minimize exposure to them when possible.

6. Establish a Routine: Creating a structured daily routine can provide a sense of stability and predictability, which can be comforting during times of stress.

7. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself and recognize that it's okay to feel overwhelmed at times. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend in a similar situation.

8. Engage in Relaxing Activities: Find activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as reading, listening to music, spending time in nature, or pursuing hobbies.

9. Educate Yourself: Learn more about stress and trauma to better understand your experiences and how to manage them effectively.

10. Seek Professional Help: If you're struggling to cope with stress or trauma on your own, don't hesitate to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor who specializes in trauma therapy. They can provide personalized support and guidance tailored to your specific needs.
