Meme, because I didn't have a drunk Purim experience

Stealing from all kinds of people on the white_lotus members page.

Tell me about stories you think I should write. I mean, if you could sit me down for a day or whatever and say, "Ok, I want you to write this story for me," what would that story be?

I'm not actually promising to *write* any of these, mind you, but it's fun anyway. And who knows if I'll be inspired!

Looking up cPTSD on google, it looks pretty close to what I have. the trust issues, the issues I have with depression and suicidal ideation, that waiting for the other shoe to fall when someone is nice to me, my fear of becoming close to someone, the sense of hopelessness, of being trapped this way, my inability to express anger, and then when I do, it's fast, hot, and leaves me panicked afterwards, (my difficulty trusting my perfectly wonderful therapist) that, along with more typical PTSD symptoms is me, and closer to what I was getting at with Zuko, Mai, and Ty Lee. The person traumatizing you doesn't have to be a parent or caregiver. It can be a little sister or a "best friend."

Sorry you have to deal with that.

It's okay. I recently started working with a therapist who specializes in treating PTSD and childhood trauma, and I'm ten years and two thirds of a continent away from my first stalker, and my second stalker's in prison for a long, long time for reasons totally unrelated to me. So things are looking up.
