Q: Someone may feel a constant sense of danger or fear or be reminded of painful memories when experiencing PTSD. It's common to be going along with one's day then suddenly feel the sting of a painful memory or suddenly feel threatened out of the blue. A person may be grocery shopping, then suddenly have memories of gunshots or being hurt in war. Having unpleasant dreams can be a symptom of PTSD. A person with PTSD may wake up distressed from dreams that re-experience the trauma or evoke similar feelings of trauma. The dreams may be distressing both during and after waking. Some people feel as if they are experiencing the trauma just as it happened before. It can feel like the trauma is being relived or as if the trauma is happening once again. When experiencing a flashback, a person may be out of touch with the current reality and get lost in the memory, believing it to be occurring right now. Some people may be extra sensitive to events or things that remind them of the event. This may include anniversaries, places, or people that trigger difficult memories. The triggers can be physical or psychological. A psychological trigger may be experiencing a similar emotions state as right before or during the trauma, but interpreting it as the same event. A physical trigger could be the location or things associated with the trauma. Reminders of the event may cause severe distress and upset. It may be easier to avoid thoughts and feelings connected to the traumatic event. To someone with PTSD, engaging in thoughts or feelings from the traumatic event may feel too overwhelming, so avoidance is used instead. A person may detach or avoid interacting with people that serve as reminders of the event, or avoid places that were associated with the trauma. Engaging in activities, people, places, or thoughts related to the trauma may feel too heavy and it may feel easier to avoid these thoughts altogether.
A: Notice intrusive thoughts or memories. Observe nightmares. Monitor flashbacks. Note reminders of the event. Observe avoiding thoughts or behaviors.

Q: Whether you've just downloaded Snapchat or you're a longtime user who's looking to expand your reach, the first step is to start accumulating followers who will see your stories. Send a follow request to your friends, family members and everyone you're connected with on other social media platforms. These people will provide your core audience. You can discover who among your acquaintances is on Snapchat by using the "Add From Contacts" option. Have your close friends spread your info around to everyone they know as a favor to you. After adding friends and family, you can concentrate on convincing other users to follow you. Begin following friends of friends, local celebrities and entertainers and any other accounts that you like. Chances are, they'll give you a follow in return. Post your snapcode publicly. A snapcode is a one-of-a-kind series of symbols that other users can simply scan with their phones to begin following you. Network on social media message boards. You and other members will be able to exchange info, follow one another and help your respective stats up to become more visible. In some cases, you may be able to appeal to influential users to share your username or give you a verbal shout-out in one of their snaps. This message will be delivered to a much wider audience, and their devoted followers will be encouraged to check out your account. Cross-promotion is a great opportunity for everyone to secure new followers. You may be expected to pay for shout-outs from private companies and high-profile individuals. Message another user directly or mention them in a snap to bring your account to their attention. Since the user discovery feature isn't very sophisticated, it can be difficult to get your name out there. This is where platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram will come in handy. Take advantage of your contact base on these sites by sharing your Snapchat info and teasing the kinds of exclusive content they'll be able to find there. Display your Snapcode as a temporary profile picture to let the people on your friends list know how they can follow you. It will help to reserve your Snapchat for specialized posts that your followers won't be able to see anywhere else.
A:
Add your friends and personal contacts. Make as many connections as you can. Get shout-outs from users with lots of followers. Use your other social media accounts to advertise.
