This is a counter narrative of self proclaimed PTSD
کہا تھا تجھ سے کر جہت مسلسل
یہ وعدہ وفا کہاں حق ٹھرا تھا
تو کیا تیرے دکھ کا بیان کیا
تیرا کم علم ہی فرق ٹھرا تھا
تو ابھی طفل مکتب بھی نہیں
حیراں ہوں یہ کیا عشق ٹھرا تھا
شاید طبیب کا روزگار اور بڑھے
کہ مریض کا رنگ فق ٹھرا تھا
شاہد لب کشائی کی اوقات کیلئے
غیرت و خود داری سبق ٹھرا تھا
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury.
People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event has ended. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people. People with PTSD may avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event, and they may have strong negative reactions to something as ordinary as a loud noise or an accidental touch.
