  • PTSD Is Only From War- Mocking & Education

    I have something that has been weighing so heavily on my mind since I heard it and I need your advice/ to get it off my chest. We recently hired an 18-year-old at my work that disclosed in his interview that he has overcome anxiety/depression and has a service dog due to PTSD.

    My district manager (who is male) and store manager (female) interviewed him, then consulted with me and we ended up hiring him. He is not allowed to bring his service dog to work, as it’s in the food industry, which he is ok with. Fast forward 2 weeks into his training, they ask me how his performance is, how it’s going, etc. After giving my feedback (mostly positive), they begin to discuss amongst themselves and I overhear them actually mocking him for saying he has PTSD and “needs a dog.”

    The male district manager goes on to say PTSD is something you only get from war. This infuriates me and I pipe up, doing something I have never done before, and say, “excuse me. I have never been to war and I have clinically diagnosed PTSD.” This is something I never disclose, because it’s my private business, but it’s obvious they are ignorant and could use some education. They both were utterly shocked and said, “you do?” Then the male has the audacity to ask “what I have PTSD from, ” to which I replied “none of your business, but people can get PTSD for a variety of reasons, such as being an emergency responder, being in a car crash, or a victim of violence, crime, or trauma.” This ended the conversation.

    Now, don’t get me wrong. Both bosses are actually nice people, but I have never experienced that level of ignorance in my life. There are people in the world that actually think ONLY military get PTSD??? How can you be so blind to the constant trauma people endure on the news headlines every night?

    How can I educate these people to actually understand what this boy, myself, and others are going through, while not stepping outside of my bounds of an employee? It’s really eating at me. I am well liked and respected there, as I have proven myself to them, but they do not give this boy much hope for a future with my company and I feel they have written him off simply because he was brave enough to disclose his battles.

  • I’m Asexual Please Understand This Isn’t A Statement

    My name is Daniel Perry and I live in Chester, I am 35 years old, single, never married, very few relationships in my entire lifetime-and to be honest, only had intimate relations once and was underwhelmed by it.

    For a long time I actually tortured myself over my lack of a relationships and all that goes with it in my life, I began self harming and isolated myself from people.

    But in the last couple years I’ve read up on asexuality and have started making peace with myself I am a person who has no sexual feelings or desires.

    It tormented me because I felt like a freak, like there was something wrong with me. But I’m coming to accept there is nothing wrong-this is just how I am.

    There are still some issues, I do feel as if I’ve let my family down by not being able to continue the bloodline and not give them the pleasure of seeing me married.

    But I can’t change this anymore than anyone else can. So I am hoping to find help and support to move on with my life in the new reality I have woken up to.

    Asexual is not weird or strange I am forever seeing people make snide comments or mocking those in the asexual world.

    I cannot change the way I am just as much as you cannot change who you are, please be kind to others who have no choice to how they are.

    I’m Asexual Please Understand This Isn’t A Statement it isn’t a fashion trend because you can’t get a partner etc, it’s a way of life something that means I have no sexual desires at all I can’t force myself to find people attractive or to get sexual desires, I see myself just as a person I can’t say I’m straight or gay or anything I am Asexual and that is okay.
