Aly Raisman Gets Candid About Her Struggle With PTSD

Aly Raisman is opening up about dealing with PTSD.

The 25-year-old Olympic gold medalist took to Instagram to share her thoughts after a particularly difficult therapy session.

“I feel completely drained as if I just completed an intense training session. My body aches,” Aly wrote.

She continued, “Some days I feel like I am moving forward and then the next day it feels like 3 steps back. Sometimes when I feel like I am beginning to heal from one part of my trauma, another memory pops up. When this happens I feel so sick that it is hard to have an appetite and it is hard to sleep.”

Aly concluded with a note to anyone who is experiencing the same thing.

“I hope you know you’re not alone & no matter how hard the PTSD gets we won’t feel like this forever. Sending a hug and love to anyone who needs it…I stand with you,” Aly concluded.
