What To Never Say To A Ptsd Sufferer

[Unknown Victim]

1) There is nothing wrong with you, it's the drugs you take.
2) You have no learning disability, it's shyness.
3) You have nothing to blame but yourself.
4) Old me never thought about those horrible things.
5) Quit using PTSD as an excuse.

'You know, don't you, that this is all in your mind?'

'Yes, but you know that won't happen again.'

Also, asking me how a famous paedophile got away with his actions, as if all abuse victims know everything about abusers :shifty:

'Oh you're just exaggerating'

... Oh you're just a complete idiot not only not worth confiding in, but also not worth communicating with at all. And by that I mean I'm not gonna nod you hello because nodding is an energy spent on those I have a semblance of respect & professionality of old professions for.

It's time to move on......

"I love you"

The stress cup doesn't overflow. It explodes.

 

[notsurewheretoturn]

Yes, but you don't feel like that now do you.

Sometimes it's not what's said but the friggin smile you want to slap right off their face.

'Years of that hurt only the weak ones'.

Yeah, sure, motherf*cker, as if your little civvie bullshit ass knew a thing about that.
Go back to being a couch potato, there's a new ad on your nonsense TV, and leave civilized discussions to civilized people, nobody requested your input.

 

[Ronin]

you want to slap right off their face.

That would dirty up my gloves.
Nobody does that. :smug::hug:
