Ways to Escape Depression when Traumatic things happened

The longer we live, the more inevitable it is that we might experience trauma. Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences. Many people who haven't been though such experience may, lightly advice to just not think about the incident happened. However, this may not be a constructive feedback to people who are already in the state of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

There's no clear answer to how they feel or what they think, depending on what has happened. Some of the Signs and Symptoms that can be suffering are:

-Feeling upset by things that remind you of what happened
-Having nightmares, vivid memories, or flashbacks of the event that make you feel like it’s happening all over again
-Feeling emotionally cut off from others
-Feeling numb or losing interest in things you used to care about
-Becoming depressed
-Thinking that you are always in danger
-Feeling anxious, jittery, or irritated
-Experiencing a sense of panic that something bad is about to happen
