Kate Gillie – The masks we wear; the need to be accepted in a world we do not, can not, understand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on with Kate? #PTSDChat<\/a><\/h5>\n

Please note this is not about any one person in my life or experience; what I give here in the 8 things that are going on could be any person with PTSD. \u00a0Pick a number. \u00a0Dr Jonathan Douglas has been super kind to add some words of wisdom on the first point: if you have PTSD or somebody you love with this brain injury, it\u2019s worth the time it takes to read and think about what he says.<\/p>\n

In the last few weeks I have been called a \u201cracist\u201d about 17 times on average before breakfast. \u00a0A few death threats before lunch and well, ain\u2019t life grand? \u00a0Worst of all, I find a delicious enjoyment from poking that dangerous viper\u2019s nest. \u00a0I was called a \u201cracist c*nt\u201d this morning for a post on Obama effectively painting a target on cops backs over the last 8 years, a normal person would have been a tad horrified. \u00a0Me? \u00a0I laughed out loud. \u00a0I did delete the post, mostly because nobody needs to be triggered by the comment or by a post from me. \u00a0Still. \u00a0Not a normal reaction.<\/p>\n

I have a recurring flashback from my childhood spent watching white people killing black people, black people killing black people and a lot of people trying to kill me. \u00a0I have had near death experiences with TIAs and a diagnosis of lupus: asymptomatic. \u00a0I have had a terrible PTSD episode.<\/p>\n\r\n\t
