due anni e sei mesi che cerco di sistemar cose dentro e fuori. non provo nemmeno a pensare a quanto ho perso perché conosco a memoria il dolore che ogni strappo mi ha dato. incapace di ricominciare, di rialzarmi, di tornare a vivere, provo a rendere confortevole questo eterno silenzio e vuoto in cui (non) vivo. un pezzo alla volta, cercando la sequenza giusta. girls just wanna have fun #houstonmiarrangio #40estati #salutementale #posttraumaticstressdisorder #lego #brick #backtothefuture #delorean #nipotime #blue #rouge #anni80 #girlsjustwannahavefun #cindylauper #nerdbutch #butchnerd #legomania #nerdlife #butch #akaorsodipanato https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQ9gGzN6qE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a great, yet simple explanation of how abuse impacts your brain & your life.
youtube
I have & still do experience all of these. Most notable takeaways for me was memory loss, emotional dysregulation, suicidal thoughts & struggling with PTSD.
The memory loss bit I want to mention because I want to explain how that works for me. I struggle to remember things, especially the memories of the abuse itself. My friends have had to help me remember things. They've mentioned significant moments to me & I'd question if what they were saying really happened or not. Usually after they bring up that moment, I will begin to slowly remember & then once I do fully remember, I tend to spiral a little because I am processing that memory.
Healing from abuse is a long & painful road. Even well after you've escaped the relationship, it will still feel like it's haunting you every single day for a long time. The best we can do is give ourselves grace in healing from something so terrifying & traumatic. & we can help educate others with our own experiences & use our voice

Kentucky Funding HBOT Treatments for TBI/PTSD
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8aaf87c307ea747ddbd201e15e08837d/04e63721dfde1d43-56/s540x810/9f37a223aad71c4cc5deccbf45861e906a07ceb2.jpg)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Kentucky Veterans, provides Oxygen Therapy for TBI and PTSD Veterans in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statue (KRS) 217.930-942 PRESS RELEASE December 2024 Arlington VA Thanks to the efforts of Eric Koleda and Eunice Ray, the widow of Marine Col. Ronald Ray, the Kentucky legislature has appropriated $1.5 Million to treat Kentucky Veterans suffering from TBI/PTSD. All of the treatment would be at no cost to veterans who qualify thanks to the approved state money. News and video of the accomplishment can be found here. Kentucky joins nine other states which have legislated the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to treat and help heal brain wounds. Collectively, the ten states with legislation have appropriated over $32 Million to do the job that should be the responsibility of the Veterans Administration. Five other states are preparing similar legislation. HBOT has been proven safe and effective for use with over 14 indications approved by the FDA. Brain wounding underlies TBI and most PTSD symptoms. HBOT works to heal the brain wound through a series of complex chemical, biologic, and physical actions. HBOT fights inflammation, restores wounded tissue, and magnifies healing through growth of new blood vessels, neurons, stem cells, and provides oxygen for thousands of brain and bodily functions. Dozens of peer-reviewed scientific studies attest to the healing powers of HBOT in TBI/PTSD/Burn Pits/Concussion/BLAST injuries. "For the veterans, they do 40 treatments for an hour," said Dr. Jack Arnold, who practices at the Clark Regional Medical Center in Winchester.... All the excess oxygen creates increased profusion to brain cells, helping the neurocognitive function and basically that higher level neurological communication, so to speak." HBOT therapy is now available to Kentucky veterans at hospitals in Louisville, Winchester and even in southern Indiana. The really good news for Veterans is that HBOT is proven to virtually eliminate suicidal ideation. Suicides among service members continue to climb. The latest data show over 17 per day in the U.S., now totaling over 151,000 since 9/11. Despite resistance from the VA and DoD, the TreatNOW Coalition, HBOT4KYVETS, and over 150 private HBOT clinics have successfully treated over 31,000 patients, among them over 12,000 Veterans. As Congressman Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) recently put it to CBS NEWS, ” I believe it is medical malpractice not to offer this to our Veterans.” Complete information about the program and applications is available at https://hbot4kyvets.com/ Heal Brains.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder...
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is a complex disorder that is caused by experiencing or witnessing trauma, such as an accident, combat, a natural disaster, or an assault, However, only a trained professional can properly diagnose PTSD, based on symptoms such as mood swings, flashbacks, and avoidance.
Because PTSD is significant, especially with our service members The National Center for PTSD has declared the month of June to be PTSD Awareness Month. To help combat PTSD, help educate yourself and others about the illness, be understanding, and help those who might need it.

The Role of Endocannabinoids in Regulating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD Awareness Day 27th June
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after an individual experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. PTSD can cause intrusive memories, avoidance behaviours, negative changes in mood and cognition, and increased arousal or reactivity. While various treatment options are available for PTSD, understanding the underlying mechanisms can pave the way for more effective therapeutic interventions. One such mechanism involves the endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating emotional responses and memory processes. This article will explore how endocannabinoids can regulate PTSD without diving into medical use of CBD.
The Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signalling system that plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis within the body. It is composed of three primary components: endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes. Endocannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds that are similar in structure to the active compounds found in cannabis. The two main endocannabinoids are anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG).
These endocannabinoids interact with specific receptors, primarily CB1 and CB2, which are located throughout the body, including the brain and immune system. Enzymes, such as fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), are responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids once they have fulfilled their function.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/95a273ed8c9b3a0617d306d146afd332/b4e23aa3a183a802-b6/s540x810/c56b7b542a2ea1a35c06571ebad66a17cca6826e.jpg)
Endocannabinoids and PTSD
Research has shown that the ECS plays a significant role in the regulation of emotional responses, stress resilience, and the consolidation and extinction of fear memories. These processes are highly relevant to the development and persistence of PTSD symptoms.
1. Emotional Regulation
Endocannabinoids, particularly anandamide, have been found to modulate emotional responses and stress resilience. Anandamide can reduce anxiety-like behaviours and promote positive emotional states by binding to CB1 receptors in the brain. This interaction can help regulate the release of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are crucial for maintaining emotional balance.
2. Fear Memory Consolidation and Extinction
The ECS is involved in the consolidation and extinction of fear memories, both of which are essential processes in the development and maintenance of PTSD. Consolidation refers to the stabilisation of a memory after its initial acquisition, while extinction is the process through which a conditioned response is weakened or eliminated.
Endocannabinoids can modulate these processes by influencing the activity of key brain regions, such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. For instance, increased levels of anandamide have been shown to facilitate fear extinction, suggesting that enhancing endocannabinoid signalling could potentially alleviate PTSD symptoms.
3. Stress Response
The ECS plays a critical role in regulating the body's response to stress. Under normal circumstances, endocannabinoids act as a buffer against the harmful effects of stress by dampening the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the primary stress response system. However, in individuals with PTSD, this buffering capacity may be compromised, leading to heightened stress reactivity and vulnerability to developing PTSD symptoms.
Conclusion
Understanding the role of endocannabinoids in regulating PTSD offers valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of this complex disorder. While more research is needed, targeting the endocannabinoid system could potentially lead to innovative therapeutic approaches that address the emotional, cognitive, and physiological aspects of PTSD.If you wish to help support and raise awareness about PTSD, you can donate here to PTSD UK on JustGiving.

Causes of Feeling Disconnected in Relationships
Feeling disconnected in relationships can be distressing and impact one's overall well-being. Here are some common causes of feeling disconnected in relationships:

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Individuals with PTSD may experience intrusive memories, flashbacks, and hyperarousal symptoms related to past traumatic events, which can impact their ability to connect with others on an emotional level. This can lead to difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy relationships, resulting in feelings of disconnection.
Communication Issues: Poor communication skills or lack of assertiveness can also contribute to feeling disconnected in relationships. Difficulty expressing thoughts, feelings, and needs can lead to misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and unresolved conflicts, resulting in feelings of disconnection and emotional distance.
Trust Issues: Trust is a fundamental aspect of any healthy relationship. Trust issues resulting from past experiences of betrayal, abandonment, or trauma can impact one's ability to trust and connect with others, leading to feelings of disconnection and emotional guardedness.
Lifestyle and Priorities: Divergent lifestyles, values, and priorities between individuals in a relationship can also contribute to feeling disconnected. Differences in interests, goals, and lifestyle choices can create emotional distance and impact the level of connection and intimacy in relationships.
In conclusion, social anxiety and PTSD can significantly impact one's ability to connect and maintain healthy relationships in Dubai.

SERVICE MEMBER SUICIDES KEEP RISING

"Pentagon officials downplayed the significance of the 6% rise in suicides from 2022 to 2023....calling the rise not statistically significant." Military Times
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/efcd0f78ddabb71bfcd1060988f8832c/838d6c4d735782d1-d8/s540x810/d316cf94fd07b0025b05da5e8acf17e1dff7a43e.jpg)
The Military Times released a Report on 2023 suicide statistics released by the Pentagon. It states: "Military researchers recorded 523 suicides in 2023, the highest total since 2020. The number of active-duty troops was 363, up from 331 a year earlier. . . .The Marine Corps had the highest rate of suicide, with about 35 cases per 100,000 people in 2023. The Army was just under 33 cases per 100,000. . . . The Air Force (about 21 per 100,000) and Navy (about 19 per 100,000) saw lower rates. But all four services have seen a steady increase since 2011, when the Department began formally tracking the issue. " According to Air & Space Forces Magazine, "the Active-duty component saw a 12 percent increase from 331 deaths by suicide in 2022 to 363 in 2023." The Grey Team draws a stark comparison: "As suicide rates among returning US military veterans continue to rise, the statistics now show that it is now six times more dangerous for an American soldier to return home from war than it is for him/her to actively be engaged in combat with the enemies of our country." This is not for lack of throwing money at the problem. After the VA was negligent in using allocated funds for Suicide Prevention some years ago, they've made up for it. VA's Veteran suicide prevention initiatives include $52.5 million in grants, and a lovely "Don't Wait, Reach Out" PSA campaign by Katherine Bigelow, an award-winning director. The Budget invests $139 million within VA research programs, together with $16.6 billion within the VA Medical Care program, to increase access to quality mental healthcare and lower the cost of mental health services for veterans. SAMHSA recently awarded $232.2 million in grants for suicide prevention and behavioral health care for at-risk communities. The Pentagon hopes an “unprecedented investment” of about $261 million in the 2025 budget will help boost suicide prevention efforts. And yet: officials also could not point to evidence that past suicide prevention efforts have helped improve the situation. Part of the issue is that DoD does not always know which efforts are effective, said Dr. Timothy Hoyt, Deputy Director of the Office of Force Resiliency for the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. By their own admission, the government can account for spending and tracking deaths, but not for indicators that what they're doing is having the desired result: ending suicides by ending suicidal ideation and giving service members their normal lives back. Here's a stark reality: look at any of the government-sponsored programs for Suicide Prevention and you will not find any discussion about treating and healing brain wounds. The talk is almost exclusivley about "mental health and psychiatric and psychological problems, not physiological damage to the brain that is not being treated. Nor in any of the DoD or VA facilities, protocols, programs, Directorates, or standards of care will you find a discussion about how alternative therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). HBOT is scientifically proven safe and effective and used around the world to heal brain wounds, reduce/eliminate need for drugs that WARN OF SUCIDAL IDEATION, and radically diminish or eliminate PTSD-type symptoms. One troubling sign from the data is how many suicide victims sought mental health help: 67 percent had a primary care encounter in the 90 days prior to their death, 34 percent had an outpatient mental health encounter, 8 percent were discharged from an inpatient mental health facility, and 18 percent were on psychotropic medication at the time of death. Let's put this a different way: more and more money for psychological and cognitive and behavioral mental health interventions, and the suicides keep going up. And yet, little recognition that the "mental health" issues and symptoms mask underlying brain wounds that cannot be healed without increasing the amount of oxygen available to an oxygen-starved brain suffering from inflammation, reduced blood flow, and slowed functional and mental capabilities. In purely financial terms, if the government spent just half of Suicide Prevention funds on treating and healing brain wounds, they could use the other half to fully treat over 35,000 victims, actually end suicidal ideation and suicides, and give service members their lives back. The TreatNOW Report Brain Drain estimates there are 877,450 brain wounded/TBI/PTSD veterans since 9/11. The annual cost to the nation is $118.1 Billion. Continuing with the "standard of care" failed pharmacology and talk therapy treatment protocols results in an estimated Veteran re-occurring annual lifetime economic impact of $4.7 Trillion. Over the 40-year lifetime of a TBI Veteran, treating versus not treating brain wounds is less than 0.42 percent of the total impact cost to not treat all TBI Veterans. DoD and the VA need to be held accountable at least for their testimonies to Congress that they are doing everything humanly possible to end suicides. The Israeli Defense Force began years ago using HBOT to treat their brain wounded forces, as well as their citizens. Two dozen clinical trials -- including the governments own studies -- are conclusive: HBOT is safe and effective. As Congressman Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) recently put it to CBS NEWS, ” I believe it is medical malpractice not to offer this to our Veterans.” Heal Brains. Stop Suicides. Restore Lives. TreatNOW ****************************** The TreatNOW Mission is ending service member suicides. Along the way, we have learned that we can end suicidal ideation, help end symptoms of PTSD, get patients off most of their drugs, and heal brain wounds to end the effects of BLAST injury, mild TBI Persistent Post Concussive Syndrome, and polytrauma from AHI and Burn Pits.
