Casual Use of PTSD

I do hate when people say they have ADD but weren’t diagnosed lolll

So ironically i used to use that as a joke in normal conversation, and recently i got diagnosed with PTSD and was told i have had it for years. I always knew i used humor as a coping mechanism in some way, esp dark humor but i never thought twice about how it would affect others. I’d kinda just say it in conversation and hope no one would overthink it and suspect i had it but now i’m like … wow i shouldn’t say it because its insensitive. So its tricky. I’ve stopped saying it, but i definitely didn’t used to out of rudeness, just coping mechanism i guess

100%

Agreed
