Sufferer Trouble understanding people

[Rani G2]

It takes away the validity of actual genuine victims who can come from ANY class, any race or gender ANY age or social group. It also excuses perps who come from the "victim" collective because, according to the narrative of those collectivist ideologies "it's white men who are the problem or cis heterosexual white people or Trump supporters" Bah Humbug. Collectivist politics grinds my gears. It's simplistic, niave and, I believe, downright harmful and dangerous, IMO.

Yes Yes Yes...

Depending where I am mentally at the time, the small complains make me happy or crack me up.

Because if people are complaining about that nonsense? They ain't in serious pain. They ain't scared to talk. They sure as hell ain't dying. So back with the complain line... it means *that* is the biggest issue, which is awesome. (& Countering it is just rhetorical nonsense, or in every case, again nothing depending on it, just talks.)

I can totally relate, you sound just like me six years ago. A word of advice if you, like most of us are, or were are self medicating with alcohol and, or drugs stop. You’re not going to make any progress until you do. I learned that the hard way and wasted five years of my life and hurt a lot of people that genuinely cared about me. It is hard to accept that most people will never be able to comprehend the complexities PTSD. However, you owe it to yourself to accept that this is another layer of who you are and you will never be the same again. What’s important now is working towards regaining the ability to feel a sense of happiness again. It is a long uphill battle, it wasn’t until a month ago that was able to take my medal out of the shoebox I kept it hidden in and display on a shelf. It’s funny how something you should be proud of can elicit so many negative emotions and painful memories.

Here’s the thing, from my experience, as time goes on what you are feeling now will slowly become relegated to momentary episodes that come less and less frequently. They may or may not go away completely but take comfort in knowing that when they do hit that it’s just a passing phase, you’ll be fine in the morning.

I wish I could offer more advice but I’m figuring it out as I go.

Good luck, and anything is possible.
