Pugfest, Day 1

Thursday, May 14, about 7:50 a.m. as we are rolling out of town:

Me: “Guys, I’m turning over a new leaf. I’m trying to be a better person.”

Someone in the van, yelling loudly: “It’s about time!”

😂

Well played. 😂😂

Top 5 horror stories

Here’s my Top 5 Horror Stories (PTSD edition)

- On telling a relative of my PTSD diagnosis: “You need to work on your hateful attitude.” Thanks for your love and support.

- “The things you say happened, did they actually happen or did they just happen in your head?” Thanks for the question. The events actually happened. 

- “You need to just get over it.” Thanks. I hadn’t thought of that. 

- Two weeks after my traumatic event: “You must feel better now, right?” No. No I don’t. Also this is kind of gaslighty and totally creepy.

- “Well that happened to me and I don’t have PTSD.” Cool. Congrats. 

Bonus one: “This is all just in your head.” Yeah, I’m aware of that. Thanks for the info. 👍

Another bonus: “Bitch. You need therapy.” Thanks. I’ve gone to therapy for years. Also this is abuse.
