This hardcore outburst on the police is a symptom of my mental health condition known as PTSD. When the officer snuck up behind me, I was experiencing a cluster of PTSD symptoms known as "Hyperarousal." Symptoms of hyperarousal include:
- Feeling keyed up or on edge
- Feeling more irritable or having outbursts of anger
- Feeling constantly on guard or like danger is lurking around every corner
- Being jumpy or easily startled
I lived with these torturous symptoms because of the roll I played in the drug war, my activism, and constant police retaliation. I recently suffered a raid, multiple arrests and losing my son at the time of this incident.
It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.
My struggle with PTSD continues but I have managed to turn most of my Post traumatic stress into Post Traumatic Growth.

Fell bad for you. My grandfather had similar symptoms since WW2. Combined with other neurological problems it got really bad in the end with him. I always have to tell myself not to remember him that way and remember the good times instead.

hopefully your feelings and your peace of mind will be restored and normal again. what you experience is almost the same as me who fought to save myself from the wave of sunami in 2004 in aceh-indonesia. I thought at that time I was going to die and there was no chance of survival. Until now I am still traumatized by the ocean waves

I was doing really good until recently. Unfortunately, I experienced a new string of traumatic events so my PTSD is flared back up. Fortunately, the drama and trauma are in my past and I'm turning the new Post Traumatic Stress into Post Traumatic Growth. Thanks for caring about me. I sincerely appreciate that.
