Has anyone ever said something this bloody ignorant and plain dumb to you?
I've been told a few times, what you went through made you. Made me what? Hyper alert all the time? And I do mean hypervigilance with a capital H!
Dysregulated so badly a lot of the time, I'm just a little better at hiding it than I was. Insomnia to the point it's improved and now I get around 2 hours sleep a day. Fatigue, Autoimmune issues. The fear I developed of being in groups of people, eventually, socialising period. It made me isolate when I have needed human connection. The nightmares are a real treat , as are the flashbacks, sometimes full emersion. C-PTSD broke me, I was strong anyway!You're a soldier, you've been through worse.
We still have a long road to travel to attempt to educate people, with the hope that eventually, nobody will have to hear this type of s**t anymore.
If you've experienced this, how did it make you feel? And I'll ask, what did you wanna do?
Thank you to for this one.
