your trauma is valid, even if:

it seems "insignificant" to others

it seems "significant" to others

you dont remember most (or all) of it

you remember all of it

you dont have ptsd from it

you have ptsd from it

others have it "worse"

others dont have it "worse"

you dont get flashbacks

you get flashbacks

people dont believe it

people believe you

it happened ages ago

it happened recently

you felt fine directly after

it effected you straight away

it was one event

it was multiple

the main cause was physical

the main cause was emotional

it stems from childhood

it stems from adulthood or adolescence

you cope in "odd" ways

you cope with unhealthy methods (please try to find alternatives)

you cope in a healthy way

you dont have coping mechanisms yet

you dissasociate

you dont disassociate

and so much more. trauma is trauma. if it left a lasting negative effect, the cause and what people think about it doesnt change that.

Aphrodite wants you to know that you’re beautiful. She loves you and she’s proud of you.

My mri results came back clear, everyone is saying it's a good thing. And yeah, it kinda is. But I just want an explanation as to why I've been in so much pain, its frustrating.

I've had three infections in the past month, the only one I had ever had before that was that time I got an ear infection when I was seven. And now it's just boom, three in a month. I also caught a cold that left me bedridden for a good week, so that was horrible.

Reblog if going nonverbal is acceptable (temporarily or not).

I’m trying to prove a point.

How swell is it that everything people look for as signs of lying or a guilty conscience are mannerisms neurodivergence or just trauma will give you

“difficulty making eye contact” influences fucking police interrogation

[hanjnah]

hey op thank you so fucking much for this post

[teaboot]

IT’S CULTURAL TOO.

As a kid, receiving a lecture from my stepfather, (raised by his Victorian British grandparents), I was expected to make FULL, UNDIVIDED EYE CONTACT the ENTIRE TIME. If I looked down or away, he took it as a sign that I was purposefully ignoring him and being disrespectful, and I’d be in deep shit for it.

My stepmother, on the other hand, (Cree Canadian), took to the total opposite way- if I was in trouble with HER, it was proper form to keep my eyes downcast or pointed away from her face- she’d react to excessive eye contact like I was mentally flipping her off the whole time, and THAT made shit WORSE.

And geez, did that shit take a while to figure out.

He’d think I was telling him to fuck off when I was really feeling ashamed, and she thought I was telling her to eat shit when I was trying to show that I was attentive and sincere.

Body language isn’t 100% universal, and it’s a pain whenever someone gets to they’re Sherlock fucking Holmes

Okay, but as a former hamster parent, I want to tell you why this video clip is so adorable and sweet to me. He’s actually eating. Taking bites, chewing and swallowing. Hamsters only do that when they feel safe and comfortable and protected. Most of the time if they encounter food outside of their nest, they will just quickly shove it into their cheek pouches to eat later. But he’s so chill and so comfy that he’s just eating right there out in the open.

Do not just come up behind a wheelchair user and start pushing them. It. Is. Not. Ok. It's like someone coming up behind you, picking you up and carrying you away. If you think someone needs help. Ask. We are not toys.
