A parent saying turn off the hose leads to you were asking for it. My piss boiled to temperatures I never thought possible when I read that.

Tumblr has apparently made a macro image meme out of trauma related disorders.

Wow guys, I didn't know someone could possibly ruin tigers, but they sure found a way.

Am I misreading this, or is this person seriously claiming that their Tourettes outbursts trigger their "PTSD"? That's like the making-yourself-poop-by-coughing of mental illness. I know it's probably just some Tumblrette lying or exaggerating for attention but that seriously dumbfounds me.

They're also claiming that the crippling effects of their 'PTSD' triggers can be eased by playing Tiny Tower. See, they're not just bored and lazy, they were totally triggered and only Tiny Tower could help. It's a therapeutic tool, really!

A lot of them are mistaking being upset for trauma. Teenagers are hormonal and mood swings can feel like the end of the world when you're 14, we all know tumblr culture doesn't help that by saying a crying fit because your mom cooked turkey instead of your favorite food is abuse. TW: Turkey Dinner, TW: Carrots.

And ugh. That woman. I've had clients be on FB and get that woman's picture as a reply when they talk about PTSD or dare mention if they have it.

I know right? I remember flipping out and thinking my mother was abusive for not allowing me to sleep over a friend's house. Teenagers think everything is a tragedy. (A year later I became friends with a guy who had been molested by his stepdad. Jesus)

It's a shame when they don't grow out of that yet.

Repressed memories do not exist. They're either false memories or memories that are forgotten and remembered later just like normal memories. The latter usually happens when someone is very young and thus is poor and remembering things, because the brain isn't developed enough yet to be good at keeping memories. It's not that the brain is trying to protect itself from trauma. The problem with traumatic memories is that you can't forget, no matter how much you try to. I won't get TL;DR here, though I was considering a post in Deep Thoughts about DID and repressed memory, which I will do if you want. If not, but you wanna know more, check out Elizabeth Loftus as a starting point.

The weirdest mention of PTSD I heard of was someone who was triggered by Taylor Swift because it reminded them of their abusive ex-partner when they see or hear her.

I've seen someone who was triggered by the sky.

 

[AnOminous]

I've seen someone who was triggered by the sky.

If that really exists, it's just agoraphobia.

The sky actually has its scary aspects. During the day it's blue and conceals what is actually behind it, but most of what is in the sky is utter nothingness. On a moonless night, it is a look out into infinite expanses of emptiness.

It is a concrete, physical reminder of how absolutely unimportant and meaningless you are in an uncaring universe where you have no privileged position.

Oh, yeah, that's probably why tumblr doesn't usually have that particular trigger.

I swear these tumblrites and their downplaying of mental disorders is just sickening.

I live in a state that once elected Jesse Ventura to be governor. He used to brag about "hunting man" when he was a navy seal. I recall thinking how real real soldiers who have seen actual combat don't tend to like talking about it.

Looking back, Jesse "The Mind" seemed ahead of his time.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I remember someone whose PTSD got triggered when she saw Vannelope from Wreck-It Ralph for some dumb fucking reason

Which is ironic given that movie actually has a decent portrayal of a character with PTSD in it; from that chick space marine (Calhoun I think her name was).

Spoiler: WIR sperging

Whenever she heard the words "dynamite gal" (such as when Fix-It-Felix called her it as a compliment), she'd lose her shit, as it was the nickname her fiancee gave her. In her game-programmed backstory, the cyborg bug aliens that she and her fiancee and fellow marines fight against in their game essentially crashed her wedding and assimilated said fiancee among them, forcing her to kill her own would-be-husband or risk getting killed by him and the other bugs.

I mean it's an over-the-top fictional portrayal, but it's still a way better depiction of PTSD than the pussy version little shits come up with.

 

[DumbDosh]

I saw a woman get triggered when she accidentally dropped a dope needle from her pocket.

I once saw a person trigger warn for money. I also saw another person trigger warn for the color orange and British guys.

Geez, I wonder if people can get triggered by Metric conversions?

Every time some little shit on tumblr mentions having ptsd or being triggered, a dead soldier roles in their grave. Disrespectful doesn't even come close to what they're being when they pretend to have crippling things like that.
