PTSD isn’t just an illness, it’s a memory that won’t fade away. Think of your mind as a library. Every day, new experiences are sorted into shelves by your brain. Joy gets placed with calm recollections, sadness tucked quietly into pages that rarely open. But trauma? Trauma kicks down the library door, rips its own chapter out of a horror novel, and keeps rereading it out loud, without your permission.

Post traumatic stress disorder is what happens when your mind loses the ability to tell the past from the present. A sound becomes a siren. A smell becomes a war zone. A peek transforms into risk. You sit on the couch, feeling safe. But your brain is ready to flee. It’s not because it wants to; it thinks it must.
