    I’m watching the first episode of the David Beckham documentary - the scenes when he’s being sent off during the Argentina match is giving me PTSD from when I saw the moment live with my brother. We were such big fans and to see it play out was devastating - we were just yelling at the TV

      I really enjoyed that doco as well. I don’t follow the football so actually learned quite a bit about Becks career. That red card moment was obviously a huge fuck up but had no idea of the ramifications.

      hugs, ptsd is awful, 😢. The night terrors, flash backs, panic attacks, amnesia, etc etc are crippling. are you seeing a psych?

      I know when I suffer a relapse nearly anything can make me overly emotional

      Or are you just saying stupid shit that insults people who have real illness?

        It was actually a very stressful moment - maybe used in a bit of an exaggerated post but there’s no need to lash out. For the record, yes I am seeing a psych so I maybe don’t judge people too quickly?

          If you are seeing a psych then you would know that these illnesses are really serious. Talk to your psych about it.

          Just be more mindful regarding the language you use.

            I will keep that in mind but please don’t tell me what issues I need to discuss with my psych as that makes it sound like you are undermining my own struggles. That’s none of your concern. Have a great week!
