I know someone needs this

i’ll still try to say it because maybe it will be validating to some:

the concept of trauma is very much gate-kept by many people. Theres not such thing as “not traumatic enough”. Trauma reaction ranges from feeling slightly uncomfortable to things like memory loss, flashbacks, etc. Everyone has different reactions to trauma and all sorts of things can be traumatizing to individuals. You’re not a faker or over-sensitive for finding different things traumatizing or having a different reaction.

If you are a mentally ill person who struggles with violent urges, impulse control, disassociation, anger control, psychosis, or other stigmatized and demonized conditions you are so fucking important and you matter and your needs matter and you deserve better

FYI to go on to develop trauma related disorders (i.e PTSD,dissociative disorders, certain personality disorders) you don’t have to experience a huge traumatic experience event like assault or extreme abuse or whatever yall think it can be brought on by traumatic grief, loss, or just a predisposed hypersensitivity to adverse experiences or mistreatment . Stop acting like you have to go through Extreme Trauma Being Killed And Dying Being Blown Up and Exploded by Bombs Everyday Thirteen Times A day Forever for your trauma to be valid lmao

(Tl;dr this is true and you don’t even have to have The One Big Trauma (or be in the military jfc) to be affected.) Additionally, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) is a specific variant concerning experiences of no single/major/identifiable trauma event. The symptoms are very similar but vary in a handful of ways. A long period of poverty, a tumultuous childhood, an onslaught of microaggressions – all manner of things like this can lead to stress/trauma/personality disorders over time. Gaslighting and emotional abuse in general are good examples of how this works because we all agree that these are traumatic things, but they aren’t composed of significant traumatic events, they’re a collection of little instances of minor violence that the victim may not have even recognized at the time.

heres to the misophonics who are told they are overreacting

heres to the misophonics who are told to suck it up, or to ignore the trigger sound

heres to the misophonics who are reprimanded for the reactions they cant help

your reactions are valid, and youre not overreacting

I just started listening to Walk the Moon and I’m thoroughly addicted. I’ve only bought the “Talking is Hard” album, but my current faves are: “Shut Up and Dance”, “We are the Kids”, “Aquaman”, and “Work This Body”.
