What To Never Say To A Ptsd Sufferer

[Ronin]

'Why are you not crying?'

... Because either that someone wasn't worth the tears, or they were all too worthy of them but would hate to put me to that spot, and if they were that close, there's so many more things I need done to honor them, than cry.

And in every case tears are effing personal. You're not seeing them.

"Forgive and forget"

lol.

Forgive & forget has only one response.

Shut up & Stay at it.

You beat me to a response, which is good, since mine was liberally peppered with nasty words.

Are you over it?
Over what?
Whatever was going on Tuesday when you were shaking and shit.
Uh, no. Check back with me in two or three years.

@CrowFeather, sounds you have a solid future plan and/or miracles indeed work! :D:tup:

 

[Crow]

I do indeed and they do indeed work @Cashew . T says trauma therapy is another two or three years - if that. Then I'm gonna move somewhere it rains a lot....or to the desert. :)

@CrowFeather - things never to say to a ptsd sufferer?
"2 or 3 more years..."

I heard that 7 years ago:confused:
Hope your T has a better crystal ball than the doc who told me that!!

We've been at this for 16 years together so yep, I think her crystal ball is pretty clear and accurate. :)

In that case, I'd like to exercise my right to stomp off in a jealousy-fuelled tantrum:)

 

[Ronin]

And I am throwing a party for Crow, all invited. :D

No idea why that posted anonymous! So much for shopping and texting.
