kaberettOKAY SO I have a 20-minute appointment on the 29th with my GP. To discuss whether a PTSD diagnosis might be relevant for me.
Consequently I have promptly forgotten all of the reasons I think it might be relevant! Erm. Do you feel like crowdsourcing concrete examples of Me Doing An PTSD so that I don't have to think 'em up myself? Much obliged.
(Here is absolutely not the place to get into debates about the validity of self-diagnosis. Like, if you want to have this fight, I will win, but right now is not the time. Okay? Okay. Find me after.)

They include raised male voices, any suggestion of non-consensual violence, discussion of weight loss as a goal in its own right, my inner forearms being touched, visuals of recent/fresh self-harm, and the written phrase "[redacted, involves cutlery]". I don’t think anyone’s likely to trip over that last one, but it has been known to happen, so :-)
