Struggling with trauma and PTSD? Contact a free helpline in China for support

Many people go through traumatic experiences in their lives. They are more common than you might realize. That’s why there are 16 helplines for people suffering from PTSD in China. It can be helpful to know some of the signs and symptoms of PTSD:

• Flashbacks of a traumatic event
• Experiencing emotions that you went through during the trauma
• A sensation of emotional numbness
• Self-harming or destructive behaviour
• Avoiding places that remind you of a traumatic event
• Intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event
• Distracting yourself from horrible memories with work or hobbies
• Experiencing 'hypervigilance' or extreme alertness

Experiencing these symptoms of trauma and PTSD can be extremely distressing. They can still impact your daily life even at a reasonably mild level. Seeking help can assist you with managing your symptoms.
