So I'm going to get philosophical or esoteric on this, but the way I see it is EVERYONE has post-traumatic stress. Life is hard for all of us, we all have battles we fight and outside of a very, very lucky 0.1% of the human race something is going to happen to you every few years that shakes you to your core. This is the nature of a life of anything but the absolute highest possible "privilege" for the lack of a better word. I've seen combat, lost loved ones, been in crashes and fires. I've had relationships fail and gotten my ass kicked physically, mentally and spiritually. I've failed in a plethora of ways, all of these are traumas, all are stressful, all still reverberate somewhere inside my being and all have changed me in different ways.So a little off topic, but I went and read Hot Allostatic Load.
What are these people talking about? What is this vague language of PTSD and trauma with no specifics?
Not to power-level, but I've had bad shit happen in my life, like I'm sure many here have, so I try to be sympathetic to people's pain. It's a fucked up world out there. But I read this stuff, and I want to know what could possibly have been so bad in terms of "intimidation" and "rumors" that it makes these people completely break down. I'm really trying to be empathetic, but I can't feel anything, because the vague half-truths this person is putting forth makes me feel like they are hiding some reason that the community hated them. And the specifics they get into is almost pathetic. Don't use emojis? That's your damage?
And it's the same thing with Lindsay. She talks vaguely about rumours, mobbing, and betrayal, but as far as I can tell she didn't lose anything material out of this. Like, she's not homeless, she still has income even. And it all seems so trivial? I don't understand how this can resonate with people.
It is with this that I say post traumatic stress DISORDER is bullshit. It is an active choice to bend the knee to weakness and a failure to adapt to change brought on by the resistance one meets in life. Now I'm not saying someone dealing with CTE or loss of limb is weak to feel like shit and lash out, those are physical ailments that can often be overwhelming to the psyche, choices are made because there becomes an inability to make others. But people who breakdown because of mean words and hard questions are just narcissists being forced to look in the mirror and realize they look like Janet Reno's love child with Dr. Zaius. This chick is by all means exactly that, a spoiled child being forced to deal with the results of their own actions and see their own image for what it really is. The entire resignation reads like the suicide note of someone too weak to pull a trigger and too stupid to tie a noose. Here's top hoping her to atleast find a little self improvement to fix one of the two
