As an 18-year-old woman, I’ve been struggling with post-pandemic PTSD. The sudden changes and uncertainty during the pandemic have left a lasting impact on my mental health. I find myself feeling anxious and on edge, even in situations that used to bring me joy. It’s been tough to navigate these new feelings, but I’m trying to find healthy coping mechanisms. I’ve been seeking therapy and connecting with others who are going through similar experiences. It’s not easy, but I believe that with time and support, I can overcome this. If anyone else is dealing with post-pandemic PTSD, know that you’re not alone. We can get through this together.
