Not flashbacks

or intense fear

Flashbacks are good for dealing with your shit

You realize why emmersion is the most effective against ptsd? It dulls the triggers of the flashbacks. Flashbacks may hell deal with shit but as someone who gets them, they arnt always the best to have. Nor is there a guarantee after you faced the flashback event it will go away

You mean incels* @M4Gunner

The key to treating PTSD is facing the trauma and dulling the triggers to the PTSD. Having more flashbacks because of the drug that is supposed to help yoi. Great plan lol

Ayahuasca binges are best for PTSD, change me mind, @M4Gunner

Close and supportive family and friends is best for PTSD.

That helps, as they aid in the "Exposure" Therapy

My wife helped a lot, by forcing me out of the house and to places. Helping me take the steps to 'desensitize' the triggers.

My brother in law still can't go out on any day where fireworks are a thing but he's getting better.

Same here.

I used to not go to the mall in the city I last lived in because there was a 'hippy shop' and the incense triggered flashbacks.\

My wife helped me narrow down that trigger, because yea anxiety was super high in the Mall, but the moment I caught a wiff of the incense near that shop, the trip was over.

That old man needs to take a chill pill.

*29% of Americans are Nazis!!*

Cancel Rick and Morty

I'm assuming 29% is the number of Americans are republican party memberss right?

No, much more

Would be the greatest POL feat of our time

Interestingly this article I just looked up put republicans at 26% and dems at 29%. That makes me chuckle a little bit. https://news.gallup.com/poll/188096/democratic-republican-identification-near-historical-lows.aspx

oh, huh. Well, a lot of states don't have official "parties" you register to

It's self identified in the article so I wouldn't know about official party statistics without looking further.

That's probably where they got the numbers

I'd say it's 45% R, 45% D, and 10% self-claimed 'Independent' or 'other'

"Last year, in addition to the 29% of Americans who identified as Democrats, another 16% said they were independents but leaned toward the Democratic Party, for a combined total of 45% Democrats and Democratic leaners among the U.S. population. Likewise, 26% of Americans identified as Republicans and an additional 16% identified as independents but leaned toward the Republican Party, for a combined total of 42% Republicans and Republican leaners."

So not far off.

Yep, sounds about right

It's two years old though so I bet a lot has changed since the article was written.

Even before the election.

A lot more Rs now lol

I don't think so.

I actually changed parties just to vote for Trump.

I think a lot more people will vote republican because of how left the Democratic party is.

In the primaries.

@Shurik That's what I said

Like I'm definitely not a republican but I'm going to vote republican
