The Boy Who Caused Me PTSD

Here are some signs of PTSD.

• vivid flashbacks (feeling like the trauma is happening right now)

• intrusive thoughts or images

• nightmares

• intense distress at real or symbolic reminders of the trauma

• panicking when reminded of the trauma

• being easily upset or angry

• feeling like you can't trust anyone

• feeling like nowhere is safe

• feeling like nobody understands

• blaming yourself for what happened

• experiencing emotions that you felt during the trauma

• coping with change

• simply enjoying your leisure time

• suicidal feelings

• anxiety disorders

• depression

I know you will never see this, but these are the crimes I hold against you. I will never understand what you did, and I never will. Accepting that fact may be the hardest part.
