Hey,
So I'm starting this thread as a sufferer.
I hate to see my loved ones struggle with how f'd up I get.
I hate it even more when there's something simple I could have just said, or done, or some way to phrase it that would help them understand that they aren't the bad guys, I love them, and PTSD has it's own logic.
To all you supporters, thank you.
The fact that you're even on here, caring enough to log in, is awesome.
Should I move this to the supporter's forum? Like, I don't want drama or anger or stuff. But, it would be good to help. I'll start, then.
People reckon when I flinch, I flinch away from them in particular.
I don't. It's not on purpose.
In fact, the more "safe" to me you are, the more likely I am to flinch.
I'm a "freeze" kinda person.
My parents thought I hated them, because I used to sleep in the garage, on purpose. They thought I was doing that to get away from them. The real thing is, I didn't think I deserved a bed. With sheets, even. I still struggle
