How my Friend’s PTSD Affected me
Not in a bad way
I was going through the news and I came across very devastating news about how a guy targets women, he ràpes and kīlls them.
May their soup rest in peace🕯️
While confessing his crimes, he narrated how he always targets them by monitoring their movement for a while.
My friend had a similar experience but she wasn’t the target. She saw how they tracked someone down and killed the person in her presence. This traumatized her that she became very cautious of her environment.
The road she used in going out isn’t the road she will use to come back . And she doesn’t follow a particular direction all the time — I asked her one day. That’s when she narrated her ordeal to me. More like not letting people be able to predict your next move.
Remember when I wrote As you are book wise, be street wise too?
I picked up that trait from her unknowingly. There was a time I was working overtime, I had gone home late for two days at a particular time frame. On the third day, I told my Boss that I will be going home early that day.
What if these bad gangs have seen me pass these past two days and have a different plan set for me on the third day. I told him I have to go early and I did for my safety.
I know on a normal day, society is supposed to be safe for us, especially the women but it’s not. It even gets worse as the day goes by
So until we get a better world, let’s pray and protect ourselves in any way we can.
I’m not really hungry. But if you insist, you can buy me a coffee ☕🤗
