Would There Be Any Harm In Sharing?

You seem to forget that many people have specific triggers but don't have ptsd.


Just because we are the only disorder that MUST have a past event ie trauma associated with it doesn't mean that no other mental disorder is associated with trauma. Almost any other mental disorder can be a result of trauma.

I am perplexed as to why you would want to tell a complete stranger that you will only have 5 minutes of interaction with??? Why at Disney? You could go to a mall and do the same thing. If you want to have another opinion I would suggest you seek out someone that is safe and educated on your specific need. I think you could spend some time on figuring this out in therapy.

Would there be any harm in sharing that I am a "-blank- survivor"?

I think I'd just like someone else's reaction to it that's not my T.

Yes, if the reason is to get a reaction from a total stranger then I would seriously want to look at that in therapy and why I felt the need for that. Needing to explain disability requirements is one thing, needing to blurt out your trauma history to complete strangers is another.

What are you hoping to get out of it?

Never mind guys. I already concluded that it was a bad idea.
