Ruined my sentimental coat.

[Kitsune]

My first ever post and probably the most pettiest situation. Days ago my zipper got stuck on a Lolita coat that I spent nearly $500 on thanks to the orange man tax.

Stupid me thought it would be a good idea to add graphite powder to the zipper to ease it and it got all over my light colored coat. It got worse when I set the stain by rubbing wet paper towel on it. As you guys can tell I am unfamiliar with graphite powder.

I'm very depressed that I ruined my all-time favorite coat but at least I learned a lesson. I can buy a new one if a re-release ever happens and my previous one can be a copy. I'm just devastated especially since it's my birthday week.

Hi Kitsune.

Do you have PTSD?

Hi Kitsune.

Do you have PTSD?

To tell the truth, I was never diagnosed. I saw a video in regard to "trauma freeze" or something like that. It was made by "Psych2Go." The examples they used resonated with me. I also resonate with the posts from r/CPTSD.

Ever since I became an adult, my painful memories of family abuse tends to pop in mind. Especially the time when my dad kicked down my door a few years ago. Back in December I got written up and to this day I still fear of going to HR and seeing the same lady. I get very nauseous whenever my least favorite boss is around. Hoping he doesn't have fake small talk with me or criticizes me. I haven't seen him in a while but I assure he will come back and I am dying to quit my toxic job.

I apologize if my response was suddenly long winded and this is probably considered trauma dumping. Looking back at this thread I think I was overreacting and others have it worse than me. I will say there are worse moments in my life than a silly coat.

I forgot to mention I feel estranged from my family. I still love them but at the same time I am longing to live independently. I loathe going to the store. I try to avoid socializing especially at work. I'm mostly a shut-in these days.
