Hello everyone, itâs Yasmin!
To say Iâm overwhelmed from everyoneâs response would be an understatement. Before making this video, I felt like I was the only one who felt the way I did. For a long time, it was just me, in my head. Even after I filmed the interview, I was so nervous about what I said. âWhat if Iâm exaggerating?â âWhat if Iâm taking up space?â âMaybe this isnât as serious as I thought it wasâ.
But from all the amazing people who have commented and messaged me, I see thatâs far from the case. Thank you to each and every one of you. I donât think you understand just how much your words mean to me. I will carry with me all the support and use it to fuel my journey. I wonât disappoint you guys đ¤
Chris, I donât know how you fit all that babbling into a 20 minute video. Iâve watched your videos for years and Iâm still amazed at your abilities. Youâre such an amazing host and what you do is incredible. I have you to thank for all of this â¤ď¸
Aaah I have so much to say!! But for now all I have to say is thank you!! I hope you all have an amazing day and know that no matter what, you and your struggles, whatever they may be, are valid. Alone we persevere, but together, we overcome (that sounded a lot cooler in my head). Love you all â¤ď¸â¤ď¸

i have the privilege of knowing yasmin in person and being blessed for this woman to be my best friend. she is truly one of the most genuine, funniest, smartest, wonderful, and beautiful people iâve ever known. i saw a comment where someone said that her attractiveness affects her trauma, but i disagree with that. all types of people in all shapes, sizes, color, and appearances go through trauma. the only difference is how we experienced it and how we all try to grow and heal from it. please donât diminish her experiences just because she is pretty.

You arenât wallowing in self-pity. The memories coming back and overtaking your brain. Your brain and body are trying to re-process it. youâre processing grief. I hate it when people call it self-pity and try to guilt trip you for experiencing it and taking care of yourself.

âi feel like iâm not deserving of my own storyâ⌠those words resonate with me so deeply. Every time I begin to validate my own feelings about my trauma I invalidate it immediately. It took so long for me to allow myself to accept and claim that I had a traumatic childhood and that it has negatively impacted my life. Thank you for speaking on this important issue Yasmin, you are never alone â¤ď¸

I have complex ptsd as well. My field of expertise is neuroscience, and what makes complex ptsd so interesting is that it exposes children to obstacles which facilitate the development of mesocortical connections while neglecting mesolimbic connections. This basically means that children with CPTSD donât have the chance to be children, and often have to compensate for unsafe adults such as parents or caregivers. While individuals with CPTSD find it hard to regulate high salience emotions because that part of them wasnât really allowed to exist early in life, the adaptations and extensive pathways theyâve developed as a consequence of survival enables them to be some of the wisest and considerate people youâll ever meet.

dissociation, depersonalization, derealization, or any type of phenomena that makes you feel disconnected from your own body and your own consciousness is super annoying to deal with. Yasmin, you're so strong and you're an inspiration to those who also struggle with feeling this way. we're all in this together

I suffered cptsd years back. Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

As another traumatised person I know what it's like to be this cheerful person and not confront your trauma. It's a way to survive but you have to accept that all those negative feelings you hold inside you are just as important as your positive side.

I was diagnosed with CPTSD, OCD, ADHD, autism and various anxiety disorders. Currently battling stage four breast cancer. I endured a myriad of traumatic experiences starting at 3 years old and continuing into my early 30s. I finally learned to avoid abusive situations. Therapy helped immensely and I feel like a warrior & a survivor. We are not our trauma and deserve peace, comfort and safety. â¤

Being in a relationship with someone like her can be a very intense experience. One of the most important things can be to realize that they often need reassurance that they are still loved if there is a disagreement or argument, even if you've said it a thousand times before, say it again! Looks like she's in good hands.

So many of us with cPTSD compare ourselves to others, thinking "oh, someone else has it worse so it's no big deal". We invalidate and downplay our experiences in order to just survive and keep going.
You're a beautiful person Yasmin, and worthy of healing and happiness! đ

I've been so moved by many SBSK videos over the years. I have learned so much about different experiences and backgrounds.
I never thought I'd see myself reflected so earnestly and compassionately in one of your videos. This same struggle has been my struggle.
And my joy.
Because I experinced such a dark violation, the liberation I have worked so incredibly hard for shines more brilliantly than I could ever imagine. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring, Yasmin.
Joy itself is an act of resistance. May we all fight on.

i really appreciated carlos mentioning how no one would guess yasmin is dealing with cptsd. so often pplâs struggles go unnoticed bc theyâre harder to see! you never know what the people around you are going through â¤

I just fired my therapist after almost four years after discovering all of this information about CPTSD. I grew up with an emotionally abusive narcissistic alcoholic mother and it has affected me all of my life. I am 68. I never knew what was wrong with me until two days ago when I watched my first video on this disorder. Four years and my therapist never once suggested anything like it. She said I just needed to get out of the house more. Now if I could replace my narcissitic husband with someone who understands and cares I would be in perfect shape. Thanks for sharing your experiences â¤

Cptsd makes you feel like you have lived 2 different lives, itâs very hard to manage and work a job let alone live with yourself and your thoughts. Iâm thankful to have my mother who is very supportive and keeps me head straight

Yasmin and her partner have such a beautiful connection! The way they look at each other... it's so good that they found each other

I have CPTSD and I related to EVERY single thing she said. Yasmin thank you, for making me feel less alone. Iâve always been seen as a ball of optimistic energy, âthe happy friendâ, but inside my trauma has crippled me my whole life. Im turning 26 soon as well so weâre even the same age. There was not a single thing you said that I couldnât relate to. Iâm glad you are here and fighting, Iâm glad you also have someone who loves you. My relationships anniversary is coming up to its 3 year mark next week (even have that in common). Heâs helped me so much. I found myself shutting down in dark rooms wallowing as well but itâs nice to know someoneâs there to listen to me and love me for all of me as well. WE DESERVE IT! YOU deserve it Yasmin. Sending you so much love.

Yasmin, as soon as I saw you I thought "wow she looks familiar". I went to an international school in Lagos myself and I'm so grateful for you doing this video. I also have C-PTSD but no one but my doctor truly knows how I am affected. The fact that you've gone through something similar and been able to share gives me hope that maybe one day I will have the strength to share with my loved ones, my boyfriend is so so caring but I don't even feel comfortable sharing with him. It is the shame, the hurt my parents will feel for me that is really holding me back from telling them, I don't want to break their hearts. I'm a really cheerful person but the anxiety can be so overwhelming, the thoughts, it's a lot. Also, to add in Nigeria, it's very common to have nannies in that society - it's not seen the same as in the western world. For me, it was my cousin that took away my own innocence when I was between the ages of 9-11, I can't remember exactly what age. I completely blocked out my pain, my trauma but I started getting flashbacks at 16. The same way you started feeling different at 16. I am on the verge of tears typing this but my God, I feel so seen. Someone like me, from Lagos as well. Ah Yasmin, thank you thank you thank you

I have PTSD. The hardest part is when your family either can't know what happened (because they would judge and blame you) or they don't respect your boundaries. For example, talking about weight can affect me negatively for weeks. They still do it, and call me "overly sensitive".

Yasmin told me it is her goal to meet other people who understand what she is experiencing. She hopes to create a community of people who are empathetic so she doesn't feel alone in her struggles. I left her social media account in the description of this video for anyone who would like to connect with Yasmin.
