My traumatic story

I was 9 years old, I went with my father, sister, by the car outside to buy some things, when we were outside, we heard a very strong of a bomb, it was a car bomb, that destroyed our house completely, killed my mother and injured my sister, we heard the sound and saw the smoke of the explosion, it was traumatic, we had to move to relatives' house until we could find new shelter. So this is my traumatic story, it was a terrorist accident made by Al-Qaida.


I feel angry, revenge, rage, repressived, hatred, Contempt


This world is very terrible and horrible


I have severe depression now, my PTSD is a trigger


I wish if I haven't been


I wish if I decided to stay at home and die when I was a kid

Wow, Mhmd02, I was 9 when I got bombed, too. It wasn't a car bomb, it was a bomb that hit my car with me and my family inside of it. It was the beginning of the 6 year Uruguayan civil war, so it wasn't the last bombing. Two years later I was walking into my neighborhood Carrasco bowling alley with my friends one Saturday morning, and it blew up.

I published a book about that after tracking down the people responsible for those and other bombings I lived through in Uruguay's urban guerrilla warfare. Once the war ended, though, a dictatorship began, and I was tortured by a military patrol for more trauma.

Sorry for what you went through. I get it, rest assured. So glad you found us. Welcome to the group, it's a healing place.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
