||"When a life altering event occurs, people remember"||
......however, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is real...it just comes to different people in different ways... Some live in denial, while others in fear of that moment for the rest of their lives.
Certain moments in life are so damn shocking and disgusting that you "secretly wish to go back and fix it" and "do not wish to go back and face it again", at the same.
It doesn't matter now, I guess.
Reading all those crime fighting novels and watching "mugging gone wrong" series, seem unreal to some extent.
Behaviorally speaking, after a distressing event occurs, you tend to play every possible scenario leading to that event, in your mind, which could have saved you from the trouble in the first place.
You start to obsess over the event so much so, that a part of you blames yourself for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The first few seconds of the incident, leave you stupefy, no matter how brave heart-ed you are, followed by hours of emotional turmoil. It is never about the things or possession you lost in the process, but the emotional attachment you have with them... It is not the physical pain but the unpredictability of the moment and the nerve-wrecking, that affect the most!!
Moreover, the tendency of self-doubt and procrastination becomes regular.
The worst part about being a victim is remembering each second of the incident vividly.
...and I am still trying to find the best part about it as they say that everything in life happens for a reason...
May be, one fine day I will wake up and won't mind remembering it, won't mind bearing it with me...
...... till that day.........
......
StayBlessed!
...and StaySafe!
