I will be okay. I had something pretty triggering happen this evening. I have PTSD; will not disclose anything more.

But even as I realized I was having a PTSD flashback and needed help grounding myself tonight, I was still met with doubt

I was met with my reality and experience back then and tonight as it wasn’t as “badl as it really was.

I’ll be okay, I have support. But I wanted to encourage everyone who is supporting someone with PTSD or mental illness, that it’s never okay to challenge someone’s reality

Reality and beliefs aren’t always the same when it comes to mental and chronic illnesses, and PTSD.

If you don’t have anything supportive or understanding to say: don’t say anything at all. You sitting and listening to me is enough to know you understand how I’m struggling.

That is all. I’ll be okay. Just felt as though this needed to be said for others to hear.

@insulinth0t this thread explains a little more about what happened. i’m too tired to talk about it anymore
