PTSD Ghosts and Goblins you need to treat

from actionflickchick

As the kids get dressed up to play the part of scary characters or creatures of their dreams, Halloween night fills them with dreams of getting more candy than their friends. Sugar highs are sure to follow over the next few days. This night has not always been about costumes and candy. It was a night to acknowledge souls.

We love horror movies. Most TV stations will be playing some kind of Halloween theme program. We love to be frightened because we know none of it is real. As soon as the program is over, we can rest assured our lives are not in danger and it is safe to take a shower without worrying about someone coming to hack us to death.

Imagine being frightened everyday of your life from the replays of your life playing over and over again in your mind.

Imagine not knowing where you are when you wake up in the middle of the night from such a vivid nightmare, you ended up smelling, hearing, seeing and feeling it all as if it were in real time.

That's what PTSD does. It takes you back to where your worst nightmares came true. It takes you back to the horrors you saw. Your blood pressure rises as your heart pumps harder. Your muscles tense. Your eyes move wildly as fear of the next thing takes over. You sweat as listen carefully for the softest sound. You know there is not a harmless friends trying to scare you but there are ghosts following you from your past.
