Those close toĀ Donald Trump fear the former president āmay have legit PTSDā from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month.
Thatās according to aĀ Vanity FairĀ report published Wednesday that claimed those in Trumpās inner circle have noticed that heās become fixated on a seven-second clip that shows the moment he nearly lost his life.
āHeās been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the headāover and over and over again,ā said a Republican close to the campaign, reportedĀ Vanity Fair.
Its funny right. If he could have just shut the fuck up and let the convention happen around him, and then not been a total fucking cunt, he probably could have coasted on that into November. He could have been a āchanged manā like they were trying to set him up as and just stepped a bit back, been a bit more reserved and honestly, he would be much harder to beat.
Idk man. I have PTSD from my time in military service where I get woken up at night and have to do something. And that shit was a long ass time ago. It doesnāt really get better. I mean you can do drugs about it. Finding the company of others with a shared experience helps. But it doesnāt go away.
Completely unqualified suggestion here but,
have you tried going for a run when you wake up at the middle of the night?
I was having the problem of waking up at 3am and unable to fall sleep, I started to embrace it, prepare some coffee, stretch a bit and then get out to run to a completely deserted city.
Running is very therapeutic, when you get intrusive thoughts, you just squeeze further running until your brain cannot focus on other thing than breathing.
I found a time-frame of therapy that only belongs to me and it has also helped me with the sleeping problems.
I am not qualified or anything and I donāt want to diminish your problem, but if it could help I just wanted to let it out.
Cheers.
Sorry to hear that. I have PTSD as well (but from other causes). For me EMDR, imagery rescripting and psychosomatic physiotherapy helped. It did not completely solve it, but it made it much better. Maybe some things to try if you have not done so, and you want to.
