Trauma

Trauma: a deeply distressing or disturbing experience

Trauma could be anything and it could really damage a person. I myself have some trauma: when I witnessed an ex-friend try to commit suicide and when my dad had his work accident. Two unrelated things, but terrible at the same time. I still get flashbacks from when my friend tried to hang herself, its been like 5-6 years now since it happened, and I'm reminded of my dad's accident every time I see him. There are worse things that what I went through and people tend to handle it in different ways. If you have ever experienced trauma of any kind then you should try to get some help because when you talk about it....it will allow some of that weight that you have been holding onto to lift a little. It could take a long time before it feels like things are back to "normal," but it will get there. You can get through this.
