Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; The storm after the storm.
10 Hidden Signs Of PTSD
The importance of being considerate of yourself. Some people live with PTSD for years without getting the right treatment or even a proper diagnosis. It is extremely important to understand what it is and be able to diagnose the problem. Otherwise, you can face nightmares, difficult memories, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, fear for your safety, and other problems that will seriously worsen your quality of life. Sometimes symptoms do not appear until months or even years later, making it difficult to determine the cause.

The Story of ME...CFS
I have suffered many things, but none have been as awful as living a chronic disease. I have withstood many trials in life, but none would prepare me for this pain. I deal with pain every day because I am stuck in a dark place at home. Some might say that it is all in my head. Some might give me a hug and say it is okay. What I do know is that I am proud of ANYONE who has to deal with Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This chronic illness has left me trapped in my own body feeling like I have to push or pull the dead weight.

Sleep Paralysis Experience
*Trigger warning* I don't know much about sleep paralysis. I do know that it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. You lay in bed, your mind going through the stages of wakefulness and sleep. It takes a few minutes before your fully able to speak or move, only laying there motionless until it ends. The reason do know this, is because it happens to me. It doesn't happen every night. But when it does happen my entire body is filled with terror. One I have never felt before in my life.
