it is a non newtonian fluid. i wouldn't fancy it as a smoothie. maybe an unsophisticated dip on a lazy weekend.

I'm glad there is a public QnA section here. Very interesting! Have a great day folks!!

Did any of you struggle with PTSD throughout your life? How well did you cope with it? Did it impede any of your big tasks in life? Were you able to overcome?

@spaceboy I understand. I just think we categorize things for convenience of addressing them as such. Everyone DOES NOT (edit idk why i left that out lmao) reacts to the same situation the same way. There is complex genetic component involved in triggering of PTSD symptoms, but of course, it can also be purely environmental. That being said, it is important to medically classify symptoms in order to introduce preferred treatment. Yes, some people will come out of a hard situation minimally harmed and for them the past will just have been an experience, but not addressing a set of very crippling symptoms as what it is would kind of be a denial. PTSD can make a person very, very weak (for many years) before it makes them stronger. If left untreated, it can be permanently crippling. Some PTSD's (like complexed type) can plague a person for life because proper therapies have yet to be modeled for them, research continues. And in such a case it's not just an experience, it's a full living nightmare. :( Acknowledgement is the first step to seeking solution. Of course when it comes to how they prefer to address their situation, it's to each their own, and I can see why some people might not want to hear the word, as it could serve as an unsolicited reminder. x

me. I just joined today. I honestly enjoy being part of a public community, especially QnA platforms. I just come online to forget about real life issues.

yes it does feel like a burden at this point in life especially because I'm in my late twenties and don't feel like I've accomplished enough. But I'm working on it.

@RubyRose11655 omg yes. but then you ended with that tease hahaha.

:( as a side hustle. What about you?

@Ryiya I can understand how taking one's time to process the wound and recover is important. That break is necessary. Thank you for sharing your experience. As for our subconscious, it is a mysterious place. I hope time can be your healer, as I hope for myself. x

@Ryiya yes, for me personally, PTSD ruined my professional and educational life. I'm on a break from work now, it has been a two years hiatus now, as being around people makes me completely nonfunctional. Unemployment isn't exactly the dream life now lol. xD
