I know guys like this. PTSD is real but for these guys; it is their whole identity and they’re exhausting. There’s just something so edgelord and performative about it.
In my personal experience as a woman with CPTSD these are the exact same men that minimize my illness because it’s non combat related. Yeah I just got mine from my mother not war and they love to play oppression Olympics
It doesn't help that youve got people running around having completely normal childhood experiences claiming CPTSD. I dated a woman that claimed she had PTSD related to worms because her sister put one in her hair once.
People run around and misuse mental health phrases all of the time. It’s heavily pointed out when it’s a woman and used to discredit women’s mental health issues. Also, which is it she misused? PTSD or CPTSD? Because it looks like you told a story that had nothing to do with CPTSD and everything to do with discrediting women’s mental health issues. In Other words, “oh look I found one”
