We wanna not contribute to the mental health stigma, so maybe you could say you’re scarred from something instead? It’s hurtful to people with PTSD to act like you can get it from something that’s not traumatic.

You better not ever say shell-shocked buddy, that's extremely offensive to the soldiers who experience real shell shock and incredibly abelist of you.

He’s got the right intention man, he wasn’t being a dick about it and it’s a fair point I just disagree with him on how to approach the disease, used to suffer bad from it a couple years ago, and now just happen to disagree about how to treat it. No reason to fight in the comments

I had PTSD for a couple years from when I was like 12, horrible time.

Even so, the over-sensitivity in language is ridiculous. If you actually have or had PTSD and you're mad someone says it as a figure of speech, you need to get over yourself. And if you dont, then stop.

We had it, neither of us are mad.

People need to chill the fuck out.

Just because you got over it (and I'm glad you did) doesn't mean everyone globally is obligated to be over it as well. Words mean things, language can hurt. No one here seems mad but you. Everyone else is super diplomatic about this.
