When I think of my dad likely having ptsd, I certainly knew some of his behaviours, reactions, circumstances 10x over that could have warranted it, when it came to him and my mom, stuff still came down to the bottom line for him/ them (there was no understanding of ptsd then, but still): re: choice to/ not to, re: cheating, self-medicating, isolating, communicating, suicide, etc. There was (great) love and humility between them. Never a thought of such a thing as ptsd, or as such thereffore ptsd being either an explanation or justification. Despite the presence of all the 'usual suspects' (aka symptoms).
Sometimes I have to choose better, no matter what I feel, or live.
Yesterday I was invisible. Lol. Closed bus door on me lol. Most people didn't make eye-contact, except for angry ones, or creepy ones. It was- ok. Except for the bus lol. Ouch.
@Anrish hope you can sleep. :( :hug: Had nightmares myself, not even sure if for myself or others. :(
