People need to understand that for those who have gone through trauma experience things differently.

If you went through an abandonment as a child, a breakup others would get over with in months can take years to overcome.

If you went through domestic abuse, even small changes in a loved one's tone can make you anxious.

If you were belittled your whole childhood, being professionally critized at work can feel like the end of the world.

Trauma effects us for a long time after it occurs.

it's the song on the radio. it buzzes through sam's bones, lethargy keeping him on the precipice of awareness--even the low, considerate lilt (compared to the impala-rattling decibels he could crank the radio up to) works right into his core. sam's low, fluttery lashes blearily crack open. panic weeps through his core.

and she's buying the stairway...

sam startles with a shivering inhale, clumsily pawing at the volume wheel to silence robert plant's crooning. still, the memory it provokes is thick and weighted, holding him into the upholstery like a sodden blanket. even as dean stares, he makes no effort to conceal his encroaching panic attack, palming absently at the valley of his breast bone. his long legs tremble where planted, knees bowing out.

"Being gentle doesn't come easy to you, does it?"

WEAPONS DONT WEEP. | @bobrvynolds

' all it does is get you killed. ' being gentle. in war, a man had to be indomitable. he had to spare no expense, and expect no mercy; a kindness afforded today was actionable retribution tomorrow. bucky wasn't so unaware as to pretend whatever delicate gossamer-thin parts of him had survived the utter decimation wrought unto him, that whatever new entity had spawned off the back of barnes' suffering had carried with it his tender regard for the world around him.

no, that was--long gone, as extinct as the child who'd briefly entertained the idea that pandemic conflict could be solved through pacifistic negotiations of peace, weapons cast aside, instead of bargained for at the end of a rifle muzzle and a trail of bloody corpses.

that kid would've balked to see who he'd become, what was left of him now. an empty shell, housing only ghosts and gore: the self-haunting monster. he would've clawed himself out of his own skin to truly understand the depravity of man as bucky did so intimately now. man was a practitioner, and war was his trade.

torsion in the prosthetic forearm results in a drinking glass simply erupting from bucky's hand, glass scattering across the carpet. he wants to apologize, sorry, i didn't mean to, i couldn't feel how hard i was pressing, the false arm has no nerves, but all of it gums up in his throat. he doesn't hear bob after that, lips parting around a ragged exhale. the amaro  liqueur looks like a blood stain. it looks like...

' i think i should leave. '

I got early leave from work today (happens when call volumes drop) and I spent my time driving to a tiny dive looking restaurant for authentic food because pregnancy is wild and my brain decided if I didn't eat this particular meal right now I'd actually crash out.

Considering I haven't eaten this since The Dark Days I'm hoping I don't have a PTSD spiral over it. Because I'm still reclaiming things, and still unsure what my triggers are because they're so ??? Obscure?? Half the time.

It's a little depressing though when you think about it, I've been safe for over three years now and I still get PTSD episodes and such; my therapist doesn't think it'll ever go away, unfortunately, I just have to learn to live with it and be grateful I survived it all.
