CAN A BREAK-UP CAUSE PTSD??

A break-up is when someone you are romantically involved with decides end the relationship.Mostly its usually agreed upon that you guys are to part ways.Sometimes one party wants to move on and the other wants to make the latter happy so they all agree to part ways.

Mostly, the emotional stress alone that comes with break-ups is sometimes painfully painful.I don't know the word to use to describe losing someone who means so much to you. when you break up,technically you are losing your best friend,confidant and emotional vault, the person you have built your life around and your sex partner.

PTSD is the abbreviated form of Post Traumatic stress Disorder. This usually when one goes through a traumatic experience, we try to get over the incident. We are likely to do things that will make us forget it ever happened. When we see stuff that reminds us of the incident we shut our brains to it. PTSD starts usually within 3 months after the incident, in very rare cases symptoms may not appear until years after the incident Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms are generally grouped into three types: intrusive memories, avoidance and numbing, and increased anxiety or emotional arousal (hyper-arousal).

Symptoms of intrusive memories may include:
  * Flashbacks, or reliving the traumatic event for minutes or even days at a time
  * Upsetting dreams about the traumatic event

Symptoms of avoidance and emotional numbing may include:
  * Trying to avoid thinking or talking about the traumatic event
  * Feeling emotionally numb
  * Avoiding activities you once enjoyed
  * Hopelessness about the future
  * Memory problems
  * Trouble concentrating
  * Difficulty maintaining close relationships

Symptoms of anxiety and increased emotional arousal may include:
  * Irritability or anger
  * Overwhelming guilt or shame
  * Self-destructive behavior, such as drinking too much
  * Trouble sleeping
  * Being easily startled or frightened
  * Hearing or seeing things that aren't there
Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms can come and go. You may have more post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms when things are stressful in general, or when you run into reminders of what you went through. You may hear a car backfire and relive combat experiences, for instance. Or you may see a report on the news about a rape and feel overcome by memories of your own assault.mostly when one goes through a break up the type of PTSD is avoidance and emotional numbness.
