Traumatic experiences happen more often than you might think. Because they are so common and frequently highly distressing, New Zealand has 8 helplines to help people dealing with trauma and PTSD. Symptoms might involve:

• Thoughts of suicide and a sensation of hopelessness
• Experiencing depression as a result of your traumatic experience
• Repetitive thoughts about how you could have changed or avoided the traumatic event
• Frequent nightmares and disturbed sleep patterns
• Continued negative thoughts about a traumatic experience
• Distracting yourself from horrible memories with work or hobbies
• Blaming yourself for what happened to you
• Feelings of guilt or shame about a traumatic event

These symptoms are very typical for people who are suffering from trauma-related issues. The pain felt from traumatic events is very real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed.
