Traumatic experiences happen more often than you might think. Because they are so common and frequently highly distressing, Bangladesh has 2 helplines to help people dealing with trauma and PTSD. Symptoms might involve:

• Being easily angered or upset
• Continued negative thoughts about a traumatic experience
• Overwhelming negative emotions such as guilt, shame, sadness and anxiety
• Intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event
• Feeling on edge and finding it difficult to relax
• Experiencing 'hypervigilance' or extreme alertness
• Physical sensations such as pain, trembling, sweating or nausea
• Flashbacks of a traumatic event

The thoughts and feelings linked to trauma and PTSD are all completely normal. It’s okay to feel whatever you feel – and you can do so without guilt or shame.

Dealing with experiences that have left us with wounds can feel daunting. It’s okay to be overwhelmed by what you are going through. But you don’t have to do it alone – there are people in Bangladesh who understand and are here to support you.
