PTSD

What are you accomplishing when you make people discuss their ptsd to the point of triggering them and then tell them to seek therapy? It fucks up their therapy, it fucks up their ability to make a living, and so on. You aren’t being cute or empathetic by trying to make it about yourself someone or make yourself look tougher as you pretend you’re on their level after watering shit down to the point it’s no longer the same problem anymore.

And when those people quit and go on SSI? It’s absolutely your fault. It’d be like tricking someone into going onto an acid trip and leaving them to their devices, or giving someone who’s suicidal a gun or knife and some privacy. Shit you don’t do.

Maybe instead of giving people SSI when this shit happens we should just take money directly from the people who can’t respect boundaries. Garnish their wares and make it a civil problem. I bet PTSD in all its forms and colors would be taken a lot more seriously overnight.
