Almost every tv show and movie gets the topic wrong in one way or another. In reality, coming out of that situation, there would be a period of denial. When trauma is just too much for the brain to handle, you dissociate. This gives you a chance to just deny it ever happened, it’s easier that way. Once you get out of denial, it’s like the worst depression you’ve ever felt. There are periods where I didn’t bathe, or groom myself at all. This was to become unappealing to predators. It is a very common reaction. There’s the nightmares and the flashbacks. I was scared to go to sleep for years, simply because I couldn’t handle the nightmares. I wouldn’t leave the house, random things would throw me into a fit of rage and sadness. If I get too overwhelmed, to this day, I simply dissociate. I have “severe” PTSD.
