I can't tell if that elephant is the best or worst meme ever.

Both. Both is good.

Good find, @cat. While I understand combat PTSD (powerlevel warning: friend was only survivor when his group was taken out by an IED so now anything vaguely explosive makes him flip shit), the whole "I witnessed this event so I'm just as traumatized as the people who lived it!" shtick is amazing.

I'm genuinely curious what the percentage of self-diagnosed PTSD is on Tumblr when they really just have anxiety/panic attacks. The two can feel very similar, and can definitely be diagnosed together, but they are, again, two separate diagnoses. A lot of Tumblrites seem to jump onto the PTSD bandwagon because it gets more asspats than "I can't leave the house because my anxiety is so bad I'm agoraphobic and don't want to do anything to help myself." If I recall correctly, PTSD is more likely to develop from physical trauma than witnessing a traumatic event (still possible, but fairly uncommon).

This reminds me of the posts a friend received to tag Father's Day, Mother's Day, and cars because they were apparently too triggering. I'll see if I can gank the screenshots from her when she's on next.

Also, how many otherkin experiencing kin-trauma start claiming PTSD; that's the real question.

 

[Motherboard]

I've only known one person with PTSD, and it was surrounding brutal physical and mental bullying in his school district. He still sees therapy for it today and has gotten far better, but with tumblr users, they don't go to therapy because they know damn well they're just pretending and will be called on their shit no matter how many times they switch from their "terrible therapists" to other ones.

They claim PTSD to justify "dissociating" which more often than not is simply roleplaying a cartoon or anime character as one of their "alters in a multiple system". They want as many oppression cards as possible (being trans, having PTSD, autism, being gay, not white, etc) so no one can call them out on being complete and utter assholes because it would be ___-phobic or ___-ist.

Disassociating to tumblrinas is most of the time actually just spacing out a lot, which happens with clumsy people or people who do nothing other than be on the computer 24/7

 

[The Joker]

Remember when some girls on tumblr claimed that cyber bullying gave them PTSD?
Now they found "real" reasons...

 

[Beaniebon]

That elephant blog is fucking amazing.

Spoiler: Bigish images

Holy fuck poor guy

 

[OldInternetMeme]

Wasn't there some SJW who claimed she had PTSD from Twitter yet still used Twitter?

 

[Some JERK]

That "perfectly painful poetry" is hilarious.

why am i always the first one people blame,
its never me but i get accused all the same.
it hurts that they always assume it must be me,
eventhough if it was i’d admit it freely.
i would never leave shard of glass on the stairs,
never leave something dangerous with people unaware.

I think I have a theory of when that shit might have happened:

Feeling lost.
I know where in the world this is.
But I don’t know where I am.
I don’t know who I am.
Where am I going.
Where have I been up until now.
Nothing feels real.
Nothing makes sense.
Lost time.

I'm no doctor but if you can't account for large swaths of time, then you can't tell people that they're falsely accusing you of doing shit.

 

[AnOminous]

That elephant blog is fucking amazing.

So like every other "mental illness," imaginary tumblr PTSD is just an excuse to act like an utter shit 24/7.

My dad was a Vietnam combat-veteran with legit PTSD, and I've had a couple of full-blown panic attacks in my life. In my opinion, there's no comparison. In every panic attack I've ever seen (including my own) the person experiencing the attack knew exactly where they were and who everyone else around them was. My dad would not be present when he was having an episode. It only happened two or three times when I was growing up, but it was scary. The worst time was when I made friends with a Hmong kid at school and brought him home to ride bikes. Needless to say, he wasn't allowed over anymore.

Combat PTSD isn't real either it's just an excuse for ex-soldiers to mooch off welfare because they don't want to find real jobs back in the world.

My dad would have agreed with that 100%

Panic attacks can't hold a candle to PTSD episodes. Also find it hilarious almost all suffers of tumblr PTSD claim to have DID or disassociate when that's not a symptom that all people with legit PTSD have. It just happens to be the one that's the most 'popular' and that fits their need to roleplay.

Like any terrifying mental illness, tumblr latches onto it and makes it trendy and cute while pretending to suffer.The guy I mentioned has DID; it's no fucking joke and certainly not a game. Even to a bystander, it can be the a horrific thing to witness. The person you see is no longer the one you know, and could damn well hurt you badly.

Tumblr translated this to "My alters are Sapphire from SU and Haruhi Suzumiya, don't make me mad or else they'll come out!!"

Every time it's just a goddamn game to them to take something awful and torturous, and turning into an accessory for people to pander to them and walk on eggshells to treat them like pretty little oppressed princesses. The worst part is that it spreads like wildfire.

Thinking you might not have it is one of the symptoms, you see.

 

[Fiddleford]

This is the best one

 

[TiredConlanger]

I'm also digging the elephant meme, because a shitload of this is clearly done by people who have never been tortured and who think that being told "no" is the same as being abused or something. My favorites that haven't been posted yet:

Spoiler: Because heaven forbid someone rat you out

Spoiler: Because clearly an abusers' friends could never be ignorant or the abuser hiding it

Spoiler: Self-defense after an assault = blaming oneself for rape
