why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

do you actually have any idea what you're talking about in the slightest or understand that the idea of triggering has been central to understanding PTSD for decades, or do you just like going off on something because you didn't hear about it until tumblr gave you a reason to make fun of it

Re-experiencing Symptoms:
Trauma survivors commonly re-experience their traumas. This means that the survivor
experiences again the same mental, emotional, and physical experiences that occurred during or
just after the trauma. These include thinking about the trauma, seeing images of the event,
feeling agitated, and having physical sensations like those that occurred during the trauma.
Trauma survivors find themselves feeling as if they are in danger, experiencing panic sensations,
wanting to escape, getting angry, and thinking about attacking or harming someone else. Because
they are anxious and physically agitated, they may have trouble sleeping and concentrating. The
survivor usually can't control these symptoms or stop them from happening. Mentally reexperiencing the trauma can include:
• Upsetting memories such as images or thoughts about the trauma
• Feeling as if the trauma is happening again (flashbacks)
• Bad dreams and nightmares
• Getting upset when reminded about the trauma (by something the person sees, hears, feels,
smells, or tastes)
• Anxiety or fear, feeling in danger again
• Anger or aggressive feelings and feeling the need to defend oneself
• Trouble controlling emotions because reminders lead to sudden anxiety, anger, or upset
• Trouble concentrating or thinking clearly
People also can have physical reactions to trauma reminders such as:
• Trouble falling or staying asleep• Feeling agitated and constantly on the lookout for danger
• Getting very startled by loud noises or something or someone coming up on you from
behind when you don't expect it
• Feeling shaky and sweaty
• Having your heart pound or having trouble breathing

Yer dumb. I'm talking about people hollering "TRIGGER!!!!!" on Internet discussion groups, which is a new and fairly obnoxious phenomenon.

yes i know that

take it to another thread, guys

how the fuck is that any different, you realize that PTSD survivors are allowed to find each other online and make some protocol for themselves and openly talk about triggers like it's something people should respect and not poke fun at, you know you don't need a doctor's note for that right

i'm not going to take this to any thread because there's no point in it, i'm done

This isn't a PTSD board.

definitely a place to make fun of survivors though

Nope. I make fun of people who wear their problems like hats. You presume so much about my relationship to PTSD that you are starting to piss me off, and all of it is wrong. Leave it, jerk.

Trigger warnings are good. Ptsd trauma is a real thing. I dont understand what youre saying T.W.U... why wouldnt you just take someones word for it if they say something is triggering?

public disagreement on messageboards reminds me of a time I was in a public disagreement on a messageboard, I wish you guys would knock it off

Like who are you to say how real someones problem is or if theyre "wearing it like a hat"? Sorry to go back to this topic i just thought someone else should back up zachylons points bc he us right.

u see I was just an asshole who misused the concept for personal gain but I also respectfully want you to knock it off so qed

Sincerely sorry for arguing on this particular thread. Would be happy to discuss this on another thread if you fuckos would stop deliberately misrepresenting my point.

don't fence me in, bro

Friend's FB update today, made me shudder then made me irrationally crazy and annoyed, it's so fucking horrible.

m8 it speaks to me powerfully about how politicians literally talk shit, IMHO

also the baby is a pothead?

lol yeah what? it would make sense if he was a bedpan or something but i can't see the pot-toilet connection

A chamber pot (also a chamberpot, a jordan,[1] a jerry, a po (possibly from French: pot de chambre), a gazunder (likely a contraction of "goes under"), a piss pot, a potty, or a thunder pot) is a bowl-shaped container with a handle, and often a lid, kept in the bedroom under a bed or in the cabinet of a nightstand and generally used as a toilet at night.

oh. good look

I thought it was pretty obviously a potty

I have mixed feelings about circumcision fwiw, but jfc at anyone calling himself a "survivor" of it. No idea whether Carlin actually said this.

I think it was actually Bob Marley.

George Carlin is the Bob Marley of grumpiness.
