Some say we all have PTSD. Some say that not everyone has, I mean Ukrainians. I learn by listening to myself and through the advice of psychologists.
Communication actually helps a lot. But not any communication. I first went through this in the summer when I realized I am almost alone here, and I am ready to talk about it and started calling my friends. They were all safe abroad. Thus, we are in different contexts with them. I can't understand their problems and they don't understand mine. Thus, both sides need help and sympathy, but only devalue each other's experiences and get disappointed. It took me A LOT to come to this.
A "non-traumatized" listener is needed here. Or one who has knowledge and skills. I can admit Hive community is a good listener :)
American society has long known what PTSD is. And we are not. Although we also had the same phenomenon, especially after the "special operation of the USSR" in Afghanistan. But then it was not possible to talk about it. The problems of these people were ignored and silenced. Therefore, we are getting this experience and knowledge only now, on live.
