Poll Do You Swear More After Your Ptsd?

[Mammasalt]

I can make a soilder blush with my swearing, the more triggers and anxiety the worse it gets.

Since I've basically always had PTSD, I guess it's as good excuse as any for my language that some might find inappropriate. In my effort to accept me and love me for who I am, I've decided I'm creativity crude. In fact when I start with my new T next week and the inevitable question comes up, "What do you like about yourself?" The fact that I'm creatively crude will be the first thing I say. Humph...

I am asking this because I am sad to say that I swear a lot more than I did before . I did not do this b...

Yes. Not proud of this either. I am a Christian and after a ptsd episode, I tend to have the mouth of a sailor or worse. Constant anger and horrible words.

This makes me wonder, those who curse and associate with a PTSD episode. How often were you cursed at?

I was cursed at a lot and people cursed around me a lot. The word f*ck was not heard as much but hearing you little bastard or that son of a bitch. Cursing could be a said with affection just as much as anger. George Carlin covered the word shit pretty well.
SOB could be said , well I'll be a SOB... That SOB changed when it became , that no good or lying or thieving the list is endless ... Of course if there is physical violence or threatened physical violence then it went to a whole new level. Bastard changes depending on the inflection of the a's .
Knowing they can be a real sob or bastard can be such a source of pride for some and it comes with bragging rights. So does being an asshole.
I think one might be a bit of a narcissist when they hone being a bitch or bastard to such a fine skill it's an enjoyable pastime.
Brat can be a curse word thrown at a child. I have a part named Brat, I guess I was called it so much, I began to think it was my name. It was not said with affection.
I think I was more affected by the hateful ways the adults talked to each other. Words flew like expert dagger throwers. That was the real education.

My Ptsd hasn't resulted in me swearing any more or any less. However, there are re-occurring and overwhelming stressors for which I do not yet know how to manage perfectly, nor have I an escape plan, and these can and do occasionally, very personally and deeply affect me so negatively that I'll surprisingly start swearing in sheer frustration due to unsuccessful two-way communications.

I mean, I was a kid when I was abused so I don't think cursing increased because of the abuse. Just from me growing up ;)

Moral defect? More like a sign of moral proficience. Studies have shown that people that can't watch their fking language tend to be more honest. Also it helps boost your pain tolerance.

I don't rightly remember as ptsd has effected my entire life.

But I find it depends on the company I keep, usually with my own company and generally it's gee.. or jeepers... oh my goodness.. etc yep I'm one of those...

But if I am in the company of people who swear alot I find myself following them and I swear, not like a sailor but still. And there are some swear words I don't use at all the bug one I find hard to use is mother f@$ker, it just doesn't come out right.. :cautious:

It might be the sweetness of my voice... lmao :clown::hilarious::joyful:

It's weird b/c I was a potty mouth to begin with growing up in NYC - I actually really like the sound of swearing, it's comforting and makes me feel good, maybe b/c my father said it was so classless and I went Ivy League so I'm supposed to be all refined. But I don't feel normal if I don't hear it.

Then I became a Christian over a year ago and I had to divide my life into swearing and non-swearing segments (some later in life Christians like me will let me drop F bombs without batting an eye).

But since the PTSD I've noticed I'm at tourettes level with electronics and things in my house. If a pan falls to the floor, I get triggered as if it purposefully tried to hurt me. It's uncontrollable. I also like giving the middle finger to every inanimate object in the house that misbehaves or causes my neurological tremor to rise up. I have ZERO capacity to handle my anger and I seem to be angry ALL the time now. Not even mildly angry, but rage like I want to curse out and kill the compute or iphoen or whateer is making life hard for me (like the keyboard now for alll the typos I can't contorl lol)

I think a swear about the same amount... but it's hard to remember who I was before, so I'm not exactly sure
