You Are Not Ptsd

[The Albatross]

I am not PTSD... it is though an aspect of who I am. I am also brown eyed, female, my ethnicity, my heritage, my spiritual belief... yatta yatta yatta. A gem has many facets. Not all gems are flawless, but it is none the less a gem. Like an emerald. I don't mind being an emerald. Emeralds are easy to break/crack (beryl's) and often flawed. They are precious none the less.

I consider my PTSD, and also my chronic illnesses as "adversity"... nothing more.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. respect where you're all coming from but my brain is soaked in it. i got a lot of shit up with my head, and most of it is developmental structural shit. separating myself from it just doesn't work. i'm not ashamed of it. it's part of me, hell, it's part of my personality. it influences me in every aspect of my life, it's not just something i "have" like a red bull or a container of toothpaste.

Revisit this in a couple of years... perspectives change... a precious few are truly rigid.

no kiddin'. mine are wobbly like exercise balls. ya know, i'm only young, but everyone's got a perspective that helps them. in some way. i've been through distancing it from myself. not letting it define me. but at this point, i am me. ptsd included. i'm not gonna let it break me, but it's my history. maybe i'll change my mind again. always seem to, these days.

I disagree with this. I understand why you believe it, but I still disagree. And the following quotes...

In my case PSTD cane after five years of follow and listen to Mooji blindly and inocently.

I've been dealing with this for one and half years. Livin in hell and trying everything I can to fit in the world.

Nothing works, just I don't lose hope.
