Agreed. I had a graphic design teacher that shrugged mine off as no big deal (I have ptsd from surgeries and hospital procedures, too many to mention in one comment) Needless to say, I am no longer in Graphic Design. It is absolutely important to talk about, but even more importantly with the right people.
@@bribee1346 they were just putting it out there. Some people just don’t get it. I’ve had several people not get it at all (like what I mentioned in my comment)
So true. I suffer from PTSD and almost every other day I be wanting to take my life but then I think about my babies and my parents. I'm constantly depressed, stressed and so tired of life.
@@Shalalalala_666 all countries thrive of that. Your right now wars should be happening it's the poor and vulnerable fighting for the rich and powerful. Doesn't mean those soldiers don't deserve respect for putting their lives on the line for what they believe is the best for their country.
@@imtryingtobenice752 I completely agree and they should get all the support that this country has to offer that is too often neglected but personally I’m kind of looking down on people that willingly served thinking that there’s no other way to make money and I kind of think they’re a little gullible but still brave for wanting to defend what they think is right.
@@Shalalalala_666 agree also but I also think it's loyalty to family members that have served and sometimes people don't have any other options no high school awards or anything like degrees and the army support is great whilst your with them as for health insurance and dental and housing just absolutely diabolical when they leave the army.
My mom was an army vet. Getting help from the va was a joke. She took her life five years ago after not only dealing with ptsd of war but from the abuse of an ex husband ontop of that. She wasnt taken seriously, the courts even said she was just a liar. Even claimed she was lying about seizures untill she had one in the middle of court. She was only 39 and went through so much and was begging for help i could go on. Ptsd is no joke and the current support just is NOT enough and honestly sometimes neglected
I'm so very, very sorry. My heart thoughts and prayers go out to you. There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH help , support for our vets. They all deserve so much more. They deserve better. RIP momma 🕊️❤️🕊️
Thank you its appreciated ❤️🩹 she was a very kind soul. Growing up a military brat i unfortunately was exposed to alot of soldiers taking their lives and familes of those doing the same and those who dont still struggle. Im not incredibly religious but i pray for those who fell and those still fighting and hope things change for the better soon ❤️🩹❤️
And this is why many people are deciding not to ever go near serving the government because that's really what the military does whether you want to admit it or not. They use people who buy into the very nice sounding idea of "you're going to fight to keep people safe" when in reality the military carries out the agendas of The Powers That Be. They use them and dispose of them and after, they're told to go live civilian life as if nothing happened. It is ridiculous. I'm sorry people fell for one of the biggest lies ever sold to the public. Now we have countless of homeless veterans or ones who are struggling every day with just being alive and the government does little to nothing about it.
Not a veteran but I have PTSD from witnessing gruesome murders. It completely changes you. I used to love going outside and talking and meeting new people and now I can't even go into the store without being in fight or flight mode. I start sweating and get extreme hypertension, to a point where I can feel tingling in my face, feet, and fingers, my thoughts quickly overwhelm me and it doesn't stop until I am outside away from strangers.
I don't have PTSD but i was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and depression. i understand the way you feel, Waking up nervous everyday, getting tingling on the right side of my shoulder or face, and feeling like you can't breathe. Everyday is a struggle. Recently i've been feeling very alone and feel as if i'm not being heard. It makes me feel better that even with a different disorder, I can relate too how you feel and it makes me feel a little less alone
A topic that is well needed to be addressed. Please don't rush making the videos for quick content. I rather wait for better content than rushed with lower quality.
I think they already made the season before they could hear the feedback. That’s how tf works. Make the show’s whole season, then slowly release each episode.
@@nobbyfirefly57 Then their quality is slipping up and they're going to lose viewers by doing that. It seems rushed, and they are just going for the first few responses.
Yea there was more focus on the wife. No one actually reached out to the Vet. Didn’t feel realistic🤷🏽♀️. Glad to see an episode on fellow ptsd vets but yes, definitely seemed rushed (or, sadly that might have been the best available☹️).
was diagnosed with ptsd 3 years ago due to abuse, bullying in family and school. most people just tell me to meditate more, get over it or even "dont be so sensitive and weak". If it's that easy, i wouldn't pay so much to see a doctor.
I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks due to suffering for 4 years with epilepsy and a stroke. My relatives tell me the same thing. If it were that easy to just not think about it. I hope you can overcome it.
My son just did 8 years in the Navy. He’s struggling. It’s hard to watch but we are getting all the help he needs. A common thing among veterans is that they all say they want to feel normal again. Heartbreaking. I hear it from my son every single day.
How do you get PTSD in the Navy didn't he stay on a ship there's not really a lot of shooting on the ships nowadays. It's not like World War II or anything you don't do a whole lot of stuff in the Navy it turns out
@@WilliamBoone-hp1rx how would YOU know?!????? you don’t know what goes on… On those ships. You don’t have to go through war to go through hell. I know you don’t understand that because you clearly have not been in the military. So quit judging. I love people like you that act like they know what goes on in the military while sitting behind a computer typing away.
I have PTSD from abuse in my childhood-some days are better than others and I’m fortunate to have people supporting me, but, it’s still horrific to deal with at times and it’s heart-warming to see people caring for the actors. Welcoming two dogs into my life and home has helped me so much in dealing with this disorder and the trauma I suffered.
My uncle served in the army long before I was born. He suffers from PTSD too. I do too. Granted, mine comes from being constantly bullied in school when I was little, but still. PTSD is very real, and can be dangerous if left untreated. Whenever I see my uncle, I always hug him, and I think that helps him a lot. Hugs are one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of comfort and affection. That’s what I love about hugs, ever since I was little.
My dad served 32 years active duty united states army he did 4 tours in Iraq and when he got home his PTSD was horrible we lost dad in a motorcycle accident in 2020 and life has been very difficult. Much respect for everyone who put on the uniform and fights for our freedoms. One of the guys who served with my dad in Iraq just committed suicide in January and it's been rough we were really close. These veteran episodes really hit home hard
Good, what did Iraq did to you or anyone in America? Meanwhile your father was out there committing war crimes in innocent Iraqi people defending their country
Whether you were in the military or not people struggle with mental health, and honestly this country does a very poor job of giving help to those who need it.
Yess i live in africa we live a harmonious life we share everything,my little cousin went to the US and got depressed he is struggling with mental illness now
@@teddyjam8134 I was forced to quit a job because of my ptsd I had some issues helping customers because I couldn’t concentrate on what I was doing because I had just came back from a situation where shooting happen and it triggered my PTSD I’ tried to work to get my mind off of it. But all the moving parts at work, the noises made it hard for me to concentrate because I had to see where everything was coming from who was coming in and out the door.
Iv never been diagnosed with PTSD, but as a Swede who was in Ukraine in 2015, i strugle alot, but there are no help for ppl like me here, i just turned to alcohol. Im happy for all the vets, thay get help, iv never gotten help
My mom served 20 years in the Air Force and dad served 8 years in the Navy. Fortunately, she was only deployed once to Qatar 🇶🇦 and my dad was always out to sea. They don’t suffer from PTSD and I’m grateful for that. ❤
My granddaddy has ptsd and he wears a bracelet but sometimes people don’t pay attention. Sometimes he struggles and reenacts the war. When he goes into this mode it’s best to let him talk it out and release his feelings and try to be there best I can for him. He does go to therapy and does group activities with other veterans . Prayers for everyone going through this
I suffer from PTSD due to a childhood trauma and stuff I went through with a mentally emotionally abusive situation for many years. It’s not fun at all and the triggers are the worse. I don’t know the military PTSD feelings and their struggles but I can say it sucks.
I also have trauma from childhood abuse. Both of my parents were physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive. I have CPTSD as a result. I've been in and out of therapy for a decade. Currently I'm in therapy.
@@bellalegendre2644 I didn’t know about CPTSD, I think I fit into that category instead of PTSD. I’m sorry for what you have dealt with. I hope you continue to work on this and find a good place. I’m also in therapy for years now. Thankfully I’ve only been hospitalized once after having a very bad episode.
I'm bipolar with PTSD and suicidal ideations. I wasn't in the military. My damage is based in childhood traumas. I know how it feels, and I'm so sorry to all vets who come home and not getting the mental health support from the govt that they so deserve.
I have PTSD from having to have multiple surgeries and a few near death experiences. It doesn’t just apply to vets. Others with PTSD do exist out there! I wish that it was talked about in other people more, not just vets. I get why, but I would like to see others validated too.
@@DoofenSpyroDragon16 Not trying to be mean but it's not about yall. It's about us veterans who serve our country and got PTSD while serving. The majority of people have some kind of childhood trauma including myself but its not same.
I've experienced PTSD due to a past toxic relationship. I understand everyone's point of view and that PTSD occurs in many different situations. But what I think this episode was trying to highlight was the difficulties that veterans face when returning to society. Loud noises can trigger memories and emotions of the past. For the veterans they were in an immediate 'life or death', situation. They didn't know if they were returning home to their families alive or in a body bag. More needs to be done to help them adjust to society. More needs to be done in regards to mental health for everyone.
1 min in and I am in tears for all the Men and Woman who suffer with PTSD. My dad was a Vet and he would have spoken up he was a great man. God bless and protect these men and women.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE to all the military and their family. THANK YOU for giving so much to ensure our freedom. 🇺🇸 My grandfather fought in Bay of Pigs in the 60's and it took him years to recover.
Yes, because no veteran has eve had a meltdown in public. Look I'm glad you've lived such a blessed and sheltered life you can't even fathom something bad happening in public, but it happens hundreds of times more often than it is faked.
If y'all don't mind I'd like to share something very special with all of you my girlfriend Chelsea who's going to be my fiance she served 12 years in the United States Air Force and was deployed to Jordan she came back but it's been a very very rough road for her people of yelled at her screamed at her people have told her it's people like you that we lost Vietnam and she's been through so much but by the grace of God she joined a veteran's non-combat group a lot of support and love and she's on the road to recovery PTSD is nothing to mess around with so that there are any veterans out there please get help and thank you all for your service
I lived in Dallas for several years, The VA out there is overwhelmed and understaffed. Every year they have a team go out and count all of the Homeless veterans in the DFW area. About 6 years ago, my mother was a part of that team. She was gone for 4 days and their final count concluded more than 700,000 .... Homeless Veterans... with everything from PTSD to Alcoholism and drug abuse, Even ones that became homeless due to service-connected disabilities that prevented them from working in the civilian world. My mom was a drill sergeant for 8 years, she was in Desert Storm and also had PTSD. She did a total of 27 years in the service. I'd never seen her the same way after that census, she had become a different, more somber woman after that experience. I wish there was more that Texas and the nation as a whole could do to provide better access and better quality of care and recovery services for these brave and broken people who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. They deserve far more than just discounts, t-shirts, and free hot meals on Veterans and Memorial days. What they get and have access to now, it's truly just not enough.
You mean 700,000 nationwide right? 700,000 for just the dallas forth worth area sounds wrong. If the number was that high the entire area would look like skid row in Los Angeles. Los Angeles doesn't have that many homeless total and that metro area is way larger.
Yes, they counted ALL the veterans in the Entire DFW Metroplex. And it was an assignments she took on for 4 years. The Metroplex Isn't JUST Dallas, it Includes Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, and the smaller surrounding cities like Rockwall, Mesquite, DeSoto, Frisco, Plano, Garland, Rowlett, and Several others. Today the total population of the Metroplex combined is roughly 8.1 Million people.... its hard to believe isnt it?
@@MisaKeiJune the census says it's close to 600,000 total homeless people in the entire country, you can Google it . That makes sense, 700,000 in the Dallas area alone would mean that close to 1/5 of the population is homeless, that would not be a crisis it would be an apocalypse the total breakdown of society. There is a caviat to this, 8.5 million have at one point experienced some sort of homelessness, it's just that most people end up being temporary homeless and are able to pull themselves out of it. I am not trying to make light of the situation, it's a huge crisis but the numbers are not to that level.
I have a TBI & PTSD from my time in the Army. I served my 20, and it’s been very hard trying to adjust back to civilian life. I have good days and bad days, and I just always have to be mindful of the things that trigger me. I have tried the traditional route through the VA, with little success. Nowadays I try things a little out of the box, using methods that have worked for some of my brothers & sisters who’ve also served. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet many great people along the way on my journey to healing, and I’m looking forward to a day when I can maybe feel “normal” again.
Thank you for this! As a Mother of Veteran Suicide, it warms my heart to see total strangers reaching out to our Veterans and their spouse like that! If you are a struggling Veteran, PLEASE REACH OUT TO SOMEONE. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
You know it's really bad when they have to engage with people rather than having them react immediately on their own! I hate to say it but this season is so weird and disappointing to me!
Society is changing, people are less likely to help or jump in because the fear of being reprimanded for not minding their own business. But yeah I agree this season is not good at all and feels very forced…it’s called “what would you do?” not “what would you do after we approach you?”
Love how this world is changing ❤ ten or twenty years ago, many people might think you were odd for talking like that or even to step in would look down upon. Now there is more education on mental health and people are more aware and likely to get involved or share their own experiences ❤😭 this really touched my heart
When she said “No man left behind, right?” I was in tears. My Son has been in the Navy for 12 years (in August) and with 2 deployments under his belt, it’s a lot for him to deal with. These Men & Women risk their lives daily to protect us, but who protects them when they come back? Thank God for the programs built to help those who need it. The sad thing is, most live with this thinking this is their “New Normal “ and it effects EVERYONE in their lives at no fault of their own.
As a service members wife and the daughter of someone who worked with senior vets in homes I've seem this so much and it breaks my heart everytime i see them struggle. That's why I never judge and I always try to help when I can
My ptsd from going overboard am aircraft carrier at night in the persian gulf during the iraq war. We were pushing pallets and my leg got strapped. It yanked me over. Somehow I got free before I hit, but I was 18, treading water alone in the ptich black for over an hour. A helo found me and the first thing they said was we thought we were looking for a body. Right before I was about to drown, i heard a voice consume me saying hold on their coming. I was rescued a few minutes later. I got baptized the next day. But them trying to cover up my accident and not letting me get help, I suffered horrible nightmares to where i became suicidal. I wasn't shot at like my husband, but man it messed me up. Especially being so young.
Having PTSD myself, albeit not from military service, this video hit home. Talking and therapy have helped me so much. Learning to cope with the world can be very challenging, and I have learnt a lot of coping strategies. Sudden noises, or movement, hypervigilance, flashbacks, being overwhelmed, being triggered, can affect our lives very much. Something like a knock on the door, a ring of a doorbell, a phone call, or fireworks can all trigger. If I am expecting a delivery, I will be constantly watching, so that I can open the door before it arrives. If I am expecting a visitor, I will leave my door ajar, so that they can walk right in. I have a mirror set up beside my desk, just to make sure that no one is behind me, even though I live alone. Leaving my home, which I rarely do, is a major operation, which is planned in great detail. But if things do not go to plan, things can go wrong very quickly, and I have to get home as quick as I can. The worst is around Bonfire Night (5 November), where people let off fireworks randomly over several weeks. I never get the chance to settle. I do sit with noise-cancelling headphones on to help me to cope. The problem with being triggered, is that it can take me up to 3 days to feel settled again. But with fireworks, I never get time to settle before the next time I am triggered, it can end up being 3-4 weeks of pure hell. I know that many people are conscious of how fireworks affect pets, but they really have an impact on people with PTSD too. I'm not saying that people should not have fireworks, as I do not want to stop people having fun. But if they could limit it to the week of bonfire night, it would make it much easier to cope with. When it comes to New Year's Eve, I get the fun that people have with fireworks, but when people are using them for a week or two either side randomly, is where I think it is just too much. This ended up being more of a rant than I intended, sorry!
What else can they do? Society had very much changed in the wake of the pandemic and cancel culture. Especially with sensitive issues like this, people are less inclined to get involved. Does that really mean these issues aren't worth exploring, or that the show is worthless?
I love these ones they're so much more realistic and believable compared to the more recent ones and they illicit more of a genuine and thoughtful reaction
I've done traditional therapy, but it does very little for me. I'm on 7 meds, and they help, but they don't fix anything. I've LITERALLY thought about 8:14 lling myself every day since I first had my innocence stripped away from me when I was 6. It's hard. It's crushing. And it NEVER goes away
Definitely keep seeking help. In the meantime, try reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and watching him on TH-cam. Also try buying books by an English guy called Paul McKenna. I was thinking the same thing as you and all of these things have helped me, as well as going to the gym and starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. All you need to do is keep going and just focus on the day in front of you, do the best with the day you have today, don’t worry about anything past just this day.
Try cognitive therapy. You have to figure out what works for you. Gardening for self. When out with nature the negative doesn’t exist. Sometimes it helps to process thoughts (also do writing, wood burning & crafts). Keep a journal. It’s a good way to release.
Easier said then done i doubt my advice will help but Try to focus on things that you enjoy and do them with others have a good support group of friends and family and keep them close and do activities with tem often
PTSD , it's a long time to heal. Been in therapy 13 years. I get everything in the video. It's so hopeless because it gets so OLD. You just want to be yourself again and I can hardly remember who I was or can't imagine how I was that way. I miss me. I appreciate this video because it hits on so many of the big key things that are so hard to push through. Hope❤
Our heroes who were willing to give their lives for our freedom deserves respect! Our country is free due those who gave their lives to make it that way! They need support! When you see a homeless person and they are veterans it tears a hole in my heart! This Memorial Day think how much you enjoy freedom. They gave it to us. 🇺🇸
Not from the US but I’ve visited. It baffles me how many homeless veterans i see on the street. Aren’t these the “heroes” you send out to war? Tf r they doing
I was diagnosed with PTSD 2 years ago due to bullying, homophobia, years in the hospitals ans exams while being just a kid. Its not something you can recover from, its a lifetime challenge.
This hit way too close to home for me. I have PTSD from being neglected and abused in my early childhood, and being molested in middle school, and being abused and mistreated in my transition program I was in for 2 and a half years.
@@davidfaxon3336 unfortunately, some veterans do claim that they are the only ones who get ptsd. There was a news story here in Dallas-Fort Worth where a veteran claimed that only people who went to war get ptsd.
This one tugged on my heart strings. I've lost 3 very good friends of mine, stellar Marines, by losing the battle at home. Breaks my heart hearing the Marine in this video was also homeless at one point. We have to do better supporting our brothers and sisters. We lose 22 a day. 22 too many. Semper Fi.
PTSD is not a joke at all I was diagnosed with this condition when I was 16 from child abuse so I kind of sympathize with him and I want to help him dearly this brought me into tears❤❤❤
I'm glad they did this one. It's so sad. They are not respected they way they should be. They will never be the same after that. All that serviced us need more.
This was an amazing episode. Thank you for bringing this topic to light. So many people hear about it, see it & feel it, not many speak up or offer guidance or care. This was so good to see. Thank you!
i am a fellow Veteran of 16 years i did 3 deployments to Afghanistan and 1 tour of Iraq and i feel every veterans pain and what really hurts the most is seeing Veterans that are living on the street like they served our Countries and yet they are on the streets and especially here in the UK all these Immigrants etc are getting homes money cars you name it they get it all and the guys and girls that served our Countries are the ones forgotten about and living on the streets with all the mental health problems with the so called Government not offering no help what so ever but you can come to the UK not get any checks done and get absolutely everything they want and this really hurts me and i no its the same with my fellow Brothers and Sisters over in USA may god bless every single one of you
They asked us to stand tall in hell then we came home broken and we are set to the side and forgotten. The war did not end for us when we came home. We still fight it every day in our heads. I am so happy for my support system. They got me through a lot.
I am not a veteran, but I have struggled with PTSD in public before. It is really hard and it means the world when somebody helps you out a complete stranger coming and helping you because they realize that you’re struggling is honestly very helpful.❤ Thank you to all the veterans who sacrificed for us❤ ❤
The fact that Americans have so many strangers helping others with shared experiences with PTSD and the military is what sets apart the general social thoughts on military service to us brits is amazing. I’ve seen Americans step back to let a vet to the front of a queue just to order a burger while us brits do nothing. Remarkable
My mom and dad were soldiers during the Eritrean War of Independence, which lasted 30 years. My dad joined the guerrilla fighters in the 1970s, and my mom joined in the 1980s. They fought against Ethiopia until they defeated the regime that terrorized their country in 1991. I am 23 years old and have never seen my parents show signs of PTSD. They still talk about their history and achievements during that time as if they were on a picnic.
While it’s important to highlight the issue of PTSD, it would be great if they would portray a regular civilian too-as someone who suffers myself, there is a stigma attached where many wrongly assume only former soldiers have to battle with it, when any trauma can trigger the condition.
One thing to keep in mind is that people can experience PTSD from a number of things. When i was first told I was experiencing PTSD from my 12 eye surgeries (to save my vision) I felt embarrassed and weak, as I thought PTSD was more something someone would experience from more severe trauma.
One person said in one of the last videos that production is the ones initiating the conversations and now that’s all I notice. I wonder if people are truly starting to just mind their own business. Still overall an amazing video and great concept!
Sorry but this show is not the same anymore. Having actors basically forcing a situation by starting the conversation defeats the entire purpose of the show. Might as well end it
But you got to think about it that's how people are unless you engage with them a great majority of them they don't care, they would look without saying anything
i retired in 1993. i still have what my wife calls my Navy Nightmares. you're not alone--it's scary, it's no joke. it's real. veterans' suicide hotline, 988, press 1. save a life. suicide is the #1 killer of vets. oh sh!t, they put this at the end! thanks john and wwyd
I suffer from PTSD after a 16 year emotionally abusive marriage. Im long divorced 20 yesrs divorced but I've gotten alot of therapy which gives me tools to cope.
My uncle is an ex Marine and when he came home he struggled a lot readjusting to living with my nanny. For a long time he couldn't even have fans on in the house because it would trigger flashbacks. PTSD is a real thing, and should always be taken serious🫶
My little brother was killed in 2001 at the age of 20 years old doing border patrol. He was shot multiple times. Vets put their lives on the line for us.❤
Today it is VETERANS' DAY here in the U.S... THANK YOU to all our veterans for your loyalty and service. We are appreciative of you and we wish that society would recognize you more. You are appreciated and seen and noticed. THANK YOU.
PTSD is no joke. I literally having panic attacks daily due to the memory and reliving it. I can barely do basic tasks because it can trigger it. I have a sh problem because of it. I can barely go out in the real world because of it. I’m working through therapy but it is hard
I got into a long chat with an army veteran. He was in that unit that got Saddam Hussein! He told me stories of his friends losing limbs and dying. I can see the sadness and emptiness in his eyes. He was saying things, like the woman said, siht other people didn't see. He was thankful I talked to him. The other men there were ignoring him, looking for a quick fuck. He appreciated someone taking the time to see the human inside and not dollar signs. My uncle signed up for the army when he was in the US. He was supposed to go to Afghanistan. My grandma literally put her body between the army and my uncle. I could imaging what if he did go through with it.
The point of their show is to have people react. But when they don't get the response they want, obviously they're going to try to provoke a response. 😂
Its not uncommon for the actors to go up to the targets that did it in the older episodes too, that being said shits a hard topic to bring up and discuss. They all obviously cared but didnt know how to approach the situation, thats not abnormal either
I remember vividly seeing my aunts and uncles come home in 2005/2006 and them not being who they were before they went to Iraq. Its been almost ten years since and its still apparent that they’re suffering 😔
Feel kinda bad for him, the first guy. His eyes says a lot. I think this really opened up a lot of wounds for him. I hope he is doing well.
ew no he's a colonizer

My mom was an army vet. Getting help from the va was a joke. She took her life five years ago after not only dealing with ptsd of war but from the abuse of an ex husband ontop of that. She wasnt taken seriously, the courts even said she was just a liar. Even claimed she was lying about seizures untill she had one in the middle of court. She was only 39 and went through so much and was begging for help i could go on. Ptsd is no joke and the current support just is NOT enough and honestly sometimes neglected
I'm so very, very sorry. My heart thoughts and prayers go out to you. There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH help , support for our vets. They all deserve so much more. They deserve better. RIP momma 🕊️❤️🕊️
Thank you its appreciated ❤️🩹 she was a very kind soul. Growing up a military brat i unfortunately was exposed to alot of soldiers taking their lives and familes of those doing the same and those who dont still struggle. Im not incredibly religious but i pray for those who fell and those still fighting and hope things change for the better soon ❤️🩹❤️
I am so sorry. 😢
I am so sorry ❤
And this is why many people are deciding not to ever go near serving the government because that's really what the military does whether you want to admit it or not. They use people who buy into the very nice sounding idea of "you're going to fight to keep people safe" when in reality the military carries out the agendas of The Powers That Be. They use them and dispose of them and after, they're told to go live civilian life as if nothing happened. It is ridiculous. I'm sorry people fell for one of the biggest lies ever sold to the public. Now we have countless of homeless veterans or ones who are struggling every day with just being alive and the government does little to nothing about it.
Not a veteran but I have PTSD from witnessing gruesome murders. It completely changes you. I used to love going outside and talking and meeting new people and now I can't even go into the store without being in fight or flight mode. I start sweating and get extreme hypertension, to a point where I can feel tingling in my face, feet, and fingers, my thoughts quickly overwhelm me and it doesn't stop until I am outside away from strangers.
Why did you witness murders? My ex was from the Southside of Chicago and had PtSD from witnessing murders due to gang activities.
You have agoraphobia & are hypersensitive. Same here.
Same here, PTSD veteran
I don't have PTSD but i was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and depression. i understand the way you feel, Waking up nervous everyday, getting tingling on the right side of my shoulder or face, and feeling like you can't breathe. Everyday is a struggle. Recently i've been feeling very alone and feel as if i'm not being heard. It makes me feel better that even with a different disorder, I can relate too how you feel and it makes me feel a little less alone
@@imxdddylmao and ik u havent gone thru anything in life
"us hearing him talk was not helping his heart" 🥺❤️. What a sweet lady
A topic that is well needed to be addressed. Please don't rush making the videos for quick content. I rather wait for better content than rushed with lower quality.
I think they already made the season before they could hear the feedback. That’s how tf works. Make the show’s whole season, then slowly release each episode.
@@nobbyfirefly57 Then their quality is slipping up and they're going to lose viewers by doing that. It seems rushed, and they are just going for the first few responses.
Chill out bruhhh💀💀💀
Me too honestly
Yea there was more focus on the wife. No one actually reached out to the Vet. Didn’t feel realistic🤷🏽♀️. Glad to see an episode on fellow ptsd vets but yes, definitely seemed rushed (or, sadly that might have been the best available☹️).
People are minding their own business more and more 😂 they gotta ask the people for their opinion
Everyone is unstable sometimes so I rather not get hurt or killed butting into someone else’s business sucks but it’s life now
I would mind my business too😭😭The world getting crazier by the day🤣
Lmfao right
This isn’t a go up to somebody type situation.. they didn’t write this well. Also they a bit scared
Unless you can relate to this this is not an easy situation to insert yourself into
was diagnosed with ptsd 3 years ago due to abuse, bullying in family and school. most people just tell me to meditate more, get over it or even "dont be so sensitive and weak". If it's that easy, i wouldn't pay so much to see a doctor.
You having ptsd doesn’t make you weak, you choosing not to give up makes you strong.
I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks due to suffering for 4 years with epilepsy and a stroke. My relatives tell me the same thing. If it were that easy to just not think about it. I hope you can overcome it.
@@reignbalboai totally agree with you.
Karen…..do you get a good nights sleep?
Same for me with the abuse. I also have anxiety and panic attacks sometimes. It is hard to cope with something like that.
My son just did 8 years in the Navy. He’s struggling. It’s hard to watch but we are getting all the help he needs. A common thing among veterans is that they all say they want to feel normal again. Heartbreaking. I hear it from my son every single day.
Deployments can be tough
Poor lad ☹️
Why can't I go back to how it was before I deployed...
How do you get PTSD in the Navy didn't he stay on a ship there's not really a lot of shooting on the ships nowadays. It's not like World War II or anything you don't do a whole lot of stuff in the Navy it turns out
@@WilliamBoone-hp1rx how would YOU know?!????? you don’t know what goes on… On those ships. You don’t have to go through war to go through hell. I know you don’t understand that because you clearly have not been in the military. So quit judging. I love people like you that act like they know what goes on in the military while sitting behind a computer typing away.
I was recently diagnosed with PTSD you have good days and you have bad days
I'm a disabled veteran, and I'm always looking around for fellow vets. It's a shame to see veterans treated this way.
0:34 THAT IS MY UNCLE!!!!
Imagine just seeing your uncle on TV lol
Say hi to your uncle for me :)
For real?
I have PTSD from abuse in my childhood-some days are better than others and I’m fortunate to have people supporting me, but, it’s still horrific to deal with at times and it’s heart-warming to see people caring for the actors.
Welcoming two dogs into my life and home has helped me so much in dealing with this disorder and the trauma I suffered.
My cat is my emotional support pet. I don't know what I would do without her.
I'm a veteran and this make me cry every. I served in Myanmar millitary junta
Thank you for your service.
Much respect for you. Thank you for your service. I have family/relatives that served as well. You are all heroes to me.
Thank you for helping freedom fly 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@rheab8543thoughts on smedley butler ?
Thank you for giving us so much. 🇺🇸
I have it and it is no joke at all. It is so hard when you struggle every day no matter what happens. I have been in therapy for 8 years.
I love that they got a real Vet to play the vet with PTSD. Super classy and respectful.
1:51 PLZ THAT SOUND EFFECT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY IN KITCHEN NIGHTMARES THIS SOUND EFFEDT SO GOOFY 😭
Amongus
@@MrSlonkVR I’m feeling quite a sussy oi oi oi baka today 🤔
My uncle served in the army long before I was born. He suffers from PTSD too. I do too. Granted, mine comes from being constantly bullied in school when I was little, but still. PTSD is very real, and can be dangerous if left untreated. Whenever I see my uncle, I always hug him, and I think that helps him a lot. Hugs are one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of comfort and affection. That’s what I love about hugs, ever since I was little.
Why do y’all have them talk so loud now lol
Well here he's very much getting heated and yelling, whispering would be fake.
My dad served 32 years active duty united states army he did 4 tours in Iraq and when he got home his PTSD was horrible we lost dad in a motorcycle accident in 2020 and life has been very difficult. Much respect for everyone who put on the uniform and fights for our freedoms. One of the guys who served with my dad in Iraq just committed suicide in January and it's been rough we were really close. These veteran episodes really hit home hard
Good, what did Iraq did to you or anyone in America? Meanwhile your father was out there committing war crimes in innocent Iraqi people defending their country
Whether you were in the military or not people struggle with mental health, and honestly this country does a very poor job of giving help to those who need it.
Yess i live in africa we live a harmonious life we share everything,my little cousin went to the US and got depressed he is struggling with mental illness now
@@teddyjam8134 I was forced to quit a job because of my ptsd I had some issues helping customers because I couldn’t concentrate on what I was doing because I had just came back from a situation where shooting happen and it triggered my PTSD I’ tried to work to get my mind off of it. But all the moving parts at work, the noises made it hard for me to concentrate because I had to see where everything was coming from who was coming in and out the door.
Iv never been diagnosed with PTSD, but as a Swede who was in Ukraine in 2015, i strugle alot, but there are no help for ppl like me here, i just turned to alcohol. Im happy for all the vets, thay get help, iv never gotten help
My mom served 20 years in the Air Force and dad served 8 years in the Navy. Fortunately, she was only deployed once to Qatar 🇶🇦 and my dad was always out to sea. They don’t suffer from PTSD and I’m grateful for that. ❤
My granddaddy has ptsd and he wears a bracelet but sometimes people don’t pay attention. Sometimes he struggles and reenacts the war. When he goes into this mode it’s best to let him talk it out and release his feelings and try to be there best I can for him. He does go to therapy and does group activities with other veterans . Prayers for everyone going through this
It’s a blessing to have a family that sounds as supportive, and empathetic, as yours is.
I have PTSD from abuse and its terrible
Last lady said it all “no man left behind” 💜💜💜
I suffer from PTSD due to a childhood trauma and stuff I went through with a mentally emotionally abusive situation for many years. It’s not fun at all and the triggers are the worse. I don’t know the military PTSD feelings and their struggles but I can say it sucks.
I also have trauma from childhood abuse. Both of my parents were physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive. I have CPTSD as a result. I've been in and out of therapy for a decade. Currently I'm in therapy.
@@bellalegendre2644 I didn’t know about CPTSD, I think I fit into that category instead of PTSD. I’m sorry for what you have dealt with. I hope you continue to work on this and find a good place. I’m also in therapy for years now. Thankfully I’ve only been hospitalized once after having a very bad episode.
I'm bipolar with PTSD and suicidal ideations. I wasn't in the military. My damage is based in childhood traumas. I know how it feels, and I'm so sorry to all vets who come home and not getting the mental health support from the govt that they so deserve.
I have PTSD from having to have multiple surgeries and a few near death experiences. It doesn’t just apply to vets. Others with PTSD do exist out there! I wish that it was talked about in other people more, not just vets. I get why, but I would like to see others validated too.
@@DoofenSpyroDragon16
Not trying to be mean but it's not about yall. It's about us veterans who serve our country and got PTSD while serving. The majority of people have some kind of childhood trauma including myself but its not same.
I've experienced PTSD due to a past toxic relationship. I understand everyone's point of view and that PTSD occurs in many different situations. But what I think this episode was trying to highlight was the difficulties that veterans face when returning to society. Loud noises can trigger memories and emotions of the past.
For the veterans they were in an immediate 'life or death', situation. They didn't know if they were returning home to their families alive or in a body bag. More needs to be done to help them adjust to society. More needs to be done in regards to mental health for everyone.
1 min in and I am in tears for all the Men and Woman who suffer with PTSD. My dad was a Vet and he would have spoken up he was a great man. God bless and protect these men and women.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE to all the military and their family. THANK YOU for giving so much to ensure our freedom. 🇺🇸 My grandfather fought in Bay of Pigs in the 60's and it took him years to recover.
These are starting to become unbelievable, like, I would never talk so loudly about personal things in public. What would I do? Look for the cameras.
Can see why the older videos are better and the new ones poorly overdone despite the right concept.
Get a life
Yes, because no veteran has eve had a meltdown in public.
Look I'm glad you've lived such a blessed and sheltered life you can't even fathom something bad happening in public, but it happens hundreds of times more often than it is faked.
I've been having anxiety and depression DAILY for the last 3 years... and support via the VA Clinic is TERRIBLE. I still desperately need help.
This topic really needs to be talked about more because so many of our military are struggling
If y'all don't mind I'd like to share something very special with all of you my girlfriend Chelsea who's going to be my fiance she served 12 years in the United States Air Force and was deployed to Jordan she came back but it's been a very very rough road for her people of yelled at her screamed at her people have told her it's people like you that we lost Vietnam and she's been through so much but by the grace of God she joined a veteran's non-combat group a lot of support and love and she's on the road to recovery PTSD is nothing to mess around with so that there are any veterans out there please get help and thank you all for your service
Im happy people treated this with respect when they found out this was acting🙏🏿. I've seen a lot of people get upset over stuff like this..
As a therapist, this breaks my heart.
I lived in Dallas for several years, The VA out there is overwhelmed and understaffed. Every year they have a team go out and count all of the Homeless veterans in the DFW area. About 6 years ago, my mother was a part of that team. She was gone for 4 days and their final count concluded more than 700,000 .... Homeless Veterans... with everything from PTSD to Alcoholism and drug abuse, Even ones that became homeless due to service-connected disabilities that prevented them from working in the civilian world. My mom was a drill sergeant for 8 years, she was in Desert Storm and also had PTSD. She did a total of 27 years in the service. I'd never seen her the same way after that census, she had become a different, more somber woman after that experience. I wish there was more that Texas and the nation as a whole could do to provide better access and better quality of care and recovery services for these brave and broken people who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. They deserve far more than just discounts, t-shirts, and free hot meals on Veterans and Memorial days. What they get and have access to now, it's truly just not enough.
You mean 700,000 nationwide right? 700,000 for just the dallas forth worth area sounds wrong. If the number was that high the entire area would look like skid row in Los Angeles. Los Angeles doesn't have that many homeless total and that metro area is way larger.
Yes, they counted ALL the veterans in the Entire DFW Metroplex. And it was an assignments she took on for 4 years. The Metroplex Isn't JUST Dallas, it Includes Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, and the smaller surrounding cities like Rockwall, Mesquite, DeSoto, Frisco, Plano, Garland, Rowlett, and Several others. Today the total population of the Metroplex combined is roughly 8.1 Million people.... its hard to believe isnt it?
@@duitk thats wayyy too ssmall to be nationwide. More than 100 thousand people move to that area every year.
@@MisaKeiJune the census says it's close to 600,000 total homeless people in the entire country, you can Google it . That makes sense, 700,000 in the Dallas area alone would mean that close to 1/5 of the population is homeless, that would not be a crisis it would be an apocalypse the total breakdown of society. There is a caviat to this, 8.5 million have at one point experienced some sort of homelessness, it's just that most people end up being temporary homeless and are able to pull themselves out of it.
I am not trying to make light of the situation, it's a huge crisis but the numbers are not to that level.
I have a TBI & PTSD from my time in the Army. I served my 20, and it’s been very hard trying to adjust back to civilian life. I have good days and bad days, and I just always have to be mindful of the things that trigger me. I have tried the traditional route through the VA, with little success. Nowadays I try things a little out of the box, using methods that have worked for some of my brothers & sisters who’ve also served. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet many great people along the way on my journey to healing, and I’m looking forward to a day when I can maybe feel “normal” again.
Thank you for this! As a Mother of Veteran Suicide, it warms my heart to see total strangers reaching out to our Veterans and their spouse like that! If you are a struggling Veteran, PLEASE REACH OUT TO SOMEONE. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
The ladies that moved made me cry. What great people. ❤
I just love to see people acting with love and compassion. We need so much more of that in the world
You know it's really bad when they have to engage with people rather than having them react immediately on their own! I hate to say it but this season is so weird and disappointing to me!
I completely agree with you. It feels very unrealistic
I agree as well. It so forced this season!
Did you take that other person’s comment or is it the other way around? 🤔 🤨
Society is changing, people are less likely to help or jump in because the fear of being reprimanded for not minding their own business. But yeah I agree this season is not good at all and feels very forced…it’s called “what would you do?” not “what would you do after we approach you?”
Remember wwyd was a pre covid type show. Society has changes a bit for better or worse.
Love how this world is changing ❤ ten or twenty years ago, many people might think you were odd for talking like that or even to step in would look down upon. Now there is more education on mental health and people are more aware and likely to get involved or share their own experiences ❤😭 this really touched my heart
When she said “No man left behind, right?” I was in tears. My Son has been in the Navy for 12 years (in August) and with 2 deployments under his belt, it’s a lot for him to deal with. These Men & Women risk their lives daily to protect us, but who protects them when they come back? Thank God for the programs built to help those who need it. The sad thing is, most live with this thinking this is their “New Normal “ and it effects EVERYONE in their lives at no fault of their own.
As a service members wife and the daughter of someone who worked with senior vets in homes I've seem this so much and it breaks my heart everytime i see them struggle. That's why I never judge and I always try to help when I can
My ptsd from going overboard am aircraft carrier at night in the persian gulf during the iraq war. We were pushing pallets and my leg got strapped. It yanked me over. Somehow I got free before I hit, but I was 18, treading water alone in the ptich black for over an hour. A helo found me and the first thing they said was we thought we were looking for a body. Right before I was about to drown, i heard a voice consume me saying hold on their coming. I was rescued a few minutes later. I got baptized the next day. But them trying to cover up my accident and not letting me get help, I suffered horrible nightmares to where i became suicidal. I wasn't shot at like my husband, but man it messed me up. Especially being so young.
Having PTSD myself, albeit not from military service, this video hit home.
Talking and therapy have helped me so much. Learning to cope with the world can be very challenging, and I have learnt a lot of coping strategies.
Sudden noises, or movement, hypervigilance, flashbacks, being overwhelmed, being triggered, can affect our lives very much.
Something like a knock on the door, a ring of a doorbell, a phone call, or fireworks can all trigger.
If I am expecting a delivery, I will be constantly watching, so that I can open the door before it arrives. If I am expecting a visitor, I will leave my door ajar, so that they can walk right in. I have a mirror set up beside my desk, just to make sure that no one is behind me, even though I live alone.
Leaving my home, which I rarely do, is a major operation, which is planned in great detail. But if things do not go to plan, things can go wrong very quickly, and I have to get home as quick as I can.
The worst is around Bonfire Night (5 November), where people let off fireworks randomly over several weeks. I never get the chance to settle.
I do sit with noise-cancelling headphones on to help me to cope.
The problem with being triggered, is that it can take me up to 3 days to feel settled again. But with fireworks, I never get time to settle before the next time I am triggered, it can end up being 3-4 weeks of pure hell.
I know that many people are conscious of how fireworks affect pets, but they really have an impact on people with PTSD too.
I'm not saying that people should not have fireworks, as I do not want to stop people having fun. But if they could limit it to the week of bonfire night, it would make it much easier to cope with. When it comes to New Year's Eve, I get the fun that people have with fireworks, but when people are using them for a week or two either side randomly, is where I think it is just too much.
This ended up being more of a rant than I intended, sorry!
„We asked our actors to approach bystanders directly“ is so bad, it hurts to see this show go down.
What else can they do? Society had very much changed in the wake of the pandemic and cancel culture.
Especially with sensitive issues like this, people are less inclined to get involved. Does that really mean these issues aren't worth exploring, or that the show is worthless?
“No man left behind” can’t be said any better. ⚓️
I love these ones they're so much more realistic and believable compared to the more recent ones and they illicit more of a genuine and thoughtful reaction
I broke into tears when those two ladies hugged 😢❤
I've done traditional therapy, but it does very little for me. I'm on 7 meds, and they help, but they don't fix anything. I've LITERALLY thought about 8:14 lling myself every day since I first had my innocence stripped away from me when I was 6. It's hard. It's crushing. And it NEVER goes away
Definitely keep seeking help. In the meantime, try reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and watching him on TH-cam. Also try buying books by an English guy called Paul McKenna. I was thinking the same thing as you and all of these things have helped me, as well as going to the gym and starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. All you need to do is keep going and just focus on the day in front of you, do the best with the day you have today, don’t worry about anything past just this day.
Try cognitive therapy. You have to figure out what works for you. Gardening for self. When out with nature the negative doesn’t exist. Sometimes it helps to process thoughts (also do writing, wood burning & crafts).
Keep a journal. It’s a good way to release.
Easier said then done i doubt my advice will help but Try to focus on things that you enjoy and do them with others have a good support group of friends and family and keep them close and do activities with tem often
I know that feeling all too well 💔 I am currently battling PTSD after my family and I survived a tragic house a year ago 🙏🙏🙏
PTSD , it's a long time to heal. Been in therapy 13 years. I get everything in the video. It's so hopeless because it gets so OLD. You just want to be yourself again and I can hardly remember who I was or can't imagine how I was that way. I miss me. I appreciate this video because it hits on so many of the big key things that are so hard to push through.
Hope❤
The last person is just so friendly and an overall great human just like the rest of them
Our heroes who were willing to give their lives for our freedom deserves respect! Our country is free due those who gave their lives to make it that way! They need support! When you see a homeless person and they are veterans it tears a hole in my heart! This Memorial Day think how much you enjoy freedom. They gave it to us. 🇺🇸
Not from the US but I’ve visited. It baffles me how many homeless veterans i see on the street. Aren’t these the “heroes” you send out to war? Tf r they doing
I don’t understand why they don’t let the scenes play out longer. They seem to cut sooo short
I think they cut it for youtube
I was diagnosed with PTSD 2 years ago due to bullying, homophobia, years in the hospitals ans exams while being just a kid. Its not something you can recover from, its a lifetime challenge.
"hi im john quinones and this is what would you do if you were approached by a stranger and asked for advice"
This hit way too close to home for me. I have PTSD from being neglected and abused in my early childhood, and being molested in middle school, and being abused and mistreated in my transition program I was in for 2 and a half years.
Veterans are not the only ones who suffer from ptsd.
And no veteran will ever claim to be the only one's who do. We know a lot about it
@@davidfaxon3336 unfortunately, some veterans do claim that they are the only ones who get ptsd. There was a news story here in Dallas-Fort Worth where a veteran claimed that only people who went to war get ptsd.
Truth! I have CPTSD as a result of childhood abuse and trauma.
It's not a competition dude. No one's says only Vets experience PTSD.
@@LW1Tok evidently you didn't listen to the video.
This one tugged on my heart strings. I've lost 3 very good friends of mine, stellar Marines, by losing the battle at home. Breaks my heart hearing the Marine in this video was also homeless at one point. We have to do better supporting our brothers and sisters. We lose 22 a day. 22 too many. Semper Fi.
PTSD is not a joke at all I was diagnosed with this condition when I was 16 from child abuse so I kind of sympathize with him and I want to help him dearly this brought me into tears❤❤❤
I'm glad they did this one. It's so sad. They are not respected they way they should be. They will never be the same after that. All that serviced us need more.
Ive never heard of that program but it sure seems super nice
I Hope that program continues to expand, improve and help alot of our veterans out
This was an amazing episode. Thank you for bringing this topic to light. So many people hear about it, see it & feel it, not many speak up or offer guidance or care. This was so good to see. Thank you!
i am a fellow Veteran of 16 years i did 3 deployments to Afghanistan and 1 tour of Iraq and i feel every veterans pain and what really hurts the most is seeing Veterans that are living on the street like they served our Countries and yet they are on the streets and especially here in the UK all these Immigrants etc are getting homes money cars you name it they get it all and the guys and girls that served our Countries are the ones forgotten about and living on the streets with all the mental health problems with the so called Government not offering no help what so ever but you can come to the UK not get any checks done and get absolutely everything they want and this really hurts me and i no its the same with my fellow Brothers and Sisters over in USA may god bless every single one of you
They asked us to stand tall in hell then we came home broken and we are set to the side and forgotten. The war did not end for us when we came home. We still fight it every day in our heads. I am so happy for my support system. They got me through a lot.
Thank you everyone for your service!
I am not a veteran, but I have struggled with PTSD in public before. It is really hard and it means the world when somebody helps you out a complete stranger coming and helping you because they realize that you’re struggling is honestly very helpful.❤ Thank you to all the veterans who sacrificed for us❤ ❤
I don't why these episodes haven't been hitting like the old ones...
The fact that Americans have so many strangers helping others with shared experiences with PTSD and the military is what sets apart the general social thoughts on military service to us brits is amazing. I’ve seen Americans step back to let a vet to the front of a queue just to order a burger while us brits do nothing. Remarkable
My mom and dad were soldiers during the Eritrean War of Independence, which lasted 30 years. My dad joined the guerrilla fighters in the 1970s, and my mom joined in the 1980s. They fought against Ethiopia until they defeated the regime that terrorized their country in 1991. I am 23 years old and have never seen my parents show signs of PTSD. They still talk about their history and achievements during that time as if they were on a picnic.
THE BALD HEADED GUY IS THE MOST RACIALLY AMBIGUOUS PERSON I’VE EVER BEEN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
While it’s important to highlight the issue of PTSD, it would be great if they would portray a regular civilian too-as someone who suffers myself, there is a stigma attached where many wrongly assume only former soldiers have to battle with it, when any trauma can trigger the condition.
One thing to keep in mind is that people can experience PTSD from a number of things. When i was first told I was experiencing PTSD from my 12 eye surgeries (to save my vision) I felt embarrassed and weak, as I thought PTSD was more something someone would experience from more severe trauma.
One person said in one of the last videos that production is the ones initiating the conversations and now that’s all I notice. I wonder if people are truly starting to just mind their own business. Still overall an amazing video and great concept!
Sorry but this show is not the same anymore. Having actors basically forcing a situation by starting the conversation defeats the entire purpose of the show. Might as well end it
Totally agree
But you got to think about it that's how people are unless you engage with them a great majority of them they don't care, they would look without saying anything
You must live a privileged life if these are the things you come and complain and whine about on the Internet.
Says the one here in the youtube comment section finding random comments to argue about. I guess that makes it two of us then, sweetheart
i think this just indicates society has become more individualistic.
We need to help these people
Don’t get why they’re cutting it so short? Like at 6:33. Barely got to talk.
For someone like myself that has ptsd , I appreciate this , the demons are tough but day by day we fight and refuse to submit
i retired in 1993. i still have what my wife calls my Navy Nightmares. you're not alone--it's scary, it's no joke. it's real. veterans' suicide hotline, 988, press 1. save a life. suicide is the #1 killer of vets. oh sh!t, they put this at the end! thanks john and wwyd
I suffer from PTSD after a 16 year emotionally abusive marriage. Im long divorced 20 yesrs divorced but I've gotten alot of therapy which gives me tools to cope.
God bless our troops. Y all give so much for us, stay strong
My uncle is an ex Marine and when he came home he struggled a lot readjusting to living with my nanny. For a long time he couldn't even have fans on in the house because it would trigger flashbacks. PTSD is a real thing, and should always be taken serious🫶
My little brother was killed in 2001 at the age of 20 years old doing border patrol. He was shot multiple times. Vets put their lives on the line for us.❤
Today it is VETERANS' DAY here in the U.S... THANK YOU to all our veterans for your loyalty and service. We are appreciative of you and we wish that society would recognize you more. You are appreciated and seen and noticed. THANK YOU.
PTSD is no joke. I literally having panic attacks daily due to the memory and reliving it. I can barely do basic tasks because it can trigger it. I have a sh problem because of it. I can barely go out in the real world because of it. I’m working through therapy but it is hard
While I was never in the army, I feel for you. I also have it due to many hospital stays/surgeries. Keep fighting.
In general all these scenarios, the actors are talking waaaaay to loud. Take it down a notch to take it up a notch
I got into a long chat with an army veteran. He was in that unit that got Saddam Hussein! He told me stories of his friends losing limbs and dying. I can see the sadness and emptiness in his eyes. He was saying things, like the woman said, siht other people didn't see. He was thankful I talked to him. The other men there were ignoring him, looking for a quick fuck. He appreciated someone taking the time to see the human inside and not dollar signs.
My uncle signed up for the army when he was in the US. He was supposed to go to Afghanistan. My grandma literally put her body between the army and my uncle. I could imaging what if he did go through with it.
That woman prayed with her 😢😢
I thought the whole premise was ‘What would you do?’-not ‘Ask strangers to engage in my business.’ 🙄
Agreed
The point of their show is to have people react. But when they don't get the response they want, obviously they're going to try to provoke a response. 😂
Exactly
It is what would you do
Its not uncommon for the actors to go up to the targets that did it in the older episodes too, that being said shits a hard topic to bring up and discuss. They all obviously cared but didnt know how to approach the situation, thats not abnormal either
I remember vividly seeing my aunts and uncles come home in 2005/2006 and them not being who they were before they went to Iraq. Its been almost ten years since and its still apparent that they’re suffering 😔
To all the veterans with PTSD: please seek help you truly deserve. You've help us tremendously, and now WE want to help YOU
The Last Lady Was Amazing She Talked To The Wide Immediately After Her Actor Husband Left ❤😂
So lovely that these people didn't look away
Bless our veterans
