PTSD(Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder)
The intensity of experiencing a life-threatening trauma can take time to subside. For some, it simply never does. If vivid "flashback" experiences or nightmares haunt you, if you're feeling emotionally numb or you feel plagued by worry and are losing sleep over concern for your safety, it is possible that you may be suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. Seeking treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can help restore balance, control, and enjoyment to your life.
In highschool, I was sexually molested. This has been impacting my life a lot. I was going to school by train, and then by bus. One day, I took the train as usual, and then waiting at the bus stop, for the bus to come. Well, here comes this drunk guy, who sat next to me. I could smell the alcohol, but I didn't think that he was drunk.
Soon after that, I realize him starting to pull his hand underneith the skirt that I was wearing. He pulled his hand underneith my skirt, and the next time I knew, he was bringing it up to my underpants. I wanted to scream. I really wanted to just scream and run away. But I didn't. I didn't wanted other people to look at me when I screamed and ran away. So I just remained there. People walked by us, but no one tried to help me, nor called the police, or anything.
Keeping the hand underneith my skirt, next he pulled his other hand and brought it underneith my skirt. He touched my brerast, and kept it there. Again, people would walk by us, but no one did anything.
When the bus came, I ran to get on the bus. I thought now everything was over. But it wasn't. He ran and also got on the bus. He sat next to me. You know what happened after that. He just kept putting his hand underneith my underpants and my bra. He started rubbing my breasts in the bus!
When it came to my stop, I ran and payed my money, got off the bus and ran to the school. He came running after me, and I was so scared. After that, I couldn't explain what king of person he was because I was so scared. Whenever I was told to describe what happened, at the police station, I would freeze and start having trouble breathing. Ever since that, I have this extreme fear toward guys.
PTSD（心的外傷後ストレス障害）
と診断されて・・・
私は２００４年にPTSD（心的外傷後ストレス障害）と診断されました。私は高校生のときに、痴漢にあう被害を受けました。知らない男性にスカートのしたから手を入れられ、パンツの中にまで手を入れられたり、下着の中に手を入れられて胸を何度も触られ、今思い出してもからだが凍りつきます。
それ以来、夢で知らないおじさんから性的暴力を受ける悪夢を見たり、人に体を触られると、すごい恐怖にかられます。一番だめなのが病院です。医者や看護師さんに体を触られると、フラッシュバックみたいなのが起きて、「もうだめ」モードになり、発作みたいのが起きるんです。
PTSD（心的外傷後ストレス障害）
とは
命を脅かされるほどの苦痛な経験をし、そのときに無力感や絶望感を感じた人が、後になってその心の傷（心的外傷）を外傷的記憶の侵入などといった形で再体験したとき、
１．もととなる心の傷に関連する刺激から回避しようとする。
２．全般的に反応が麻痺する。
３．生理的に覚醒する症状が１ヶ月以上続いて、通常の社会生活が送れないとき。
にPTSDと診断される。
PTSDを引き起こすものは、戦争や災害、強盗、誘拐、レイプ、交通事故などの被害にあうなどの強い苦痛に満ちた体験である。また一時的な体験だけでなく、児童虐待やいじめなどのように長く続く経験でも、その人がその場で恐怖感や無力感を感じている場合は、PTSDを発症することもある。
人はさまざまな心的外傷を経験するが、それがPTSDになるかどうかは、その場の状況の微妙な違いや本人の自我の強さも関係してくる。
