Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I am like Lucky Laser in a traumatic situation. I rise to the occassion and crumble afterwards. However, the inbetween moderate stress I seem to have trouble with. It's not charged enough to move me into action mode yet just caustic enough to put me into a deer in the headlights "what?" mode. -CS

Yes. I often pass out or lose all energy when I get stressed or upset.
Occasionally its due to stress, resulting in me not sleeping, then passing out. Or being stressed and not eating it.

Sometimes. I tend to freeze up like a dear in headlights under stress.

Yes, I shut down just like a short-circuited machine. Mind goes blank. If pressured to continue anyway, I may explode in anger, or just break down and cry. Afterward, I feel so stupid. I am so glad to see this on the board. I thought I was the only one to have this happen.

I don't physically collapse, but I do mentally shut down. I'm like Skyp56.

Stress is a trigger but it makes me go into fight mode. I have lost my flight mode and now I just go straight to the fight mode.
