PTSD/CPTSD non military - Lemmy.World

Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war. recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider. I know cptsd is somewhat common and I’m wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

Got a "smart" monitor, my first - Lemmy.World

Samsung g8 monitor, ive been pining to upgrade my 1080p monitor and thought id go full hug with oled, 4k and higher frame rate (170hz apposed to my previous 144hz), first cardinal sin: polystyrene packaging. Second: its apparently smart which I’m taking to mean they added pointless software to it so to extract long term profit from users, have brand deals with streaming company’s and to artificially age a product. I can see a smart TVs making sense, its essentially the evolution of the TV, in general, they started with big antennas and now they have smaller internal antennas, changes to broadcasting has allowed for this. But a monitor something that has always relied on a secondary system to function now has smart features, why the fuck call it a monitor? Its surely a tv at that point. Although my disappointment goes further than just the smart aspect, I’d be okay if there was a non intrusive app store, but no the controls have 4 dedicated buttons I will never use, prime video, netflix, Disney plus and Samsung TV plus. If I were to ever use these services I would do so through my PC, or if I had a games console (media centre) I would use that, which then posses the question of what’s the point? Did they have old android PCBs laying about the factory and thought fuck it,… Next issue is how Samsung want me to connect to the internet, its easy to press no to connecting, the issue come from hardware maintenance which is especially important with oled. Oleds degrade quite fast, if I left the monitor on for a day with windows desktop white theme constantly displaying I may run into burn in, so most oled monitors/TVs have corrective software that’ll run on command or scheduled, most of these monitors also report its history of corrective operations but Samsung demands I download an app on my phone to view this information. Why can’t tech just be one thing, now everything has to be some kind of Swiss army knife. Edit: thought I’d look at this app (SmartThings) to see how good/bad it is, download the app and permissions aren’t too bad although I dont like that Samsung wants my location, anyway ive two option: top right sign in, centre get started, I click get started and get pulled from the app to my browser met with a message > “Browser not supported > Samsung account can only be used with the following browsers: > - Samsung Internet > - Chrome > - Firefox > - QQ Browser > - UC Browser > - Sogou Browser > - 360 Browser > - Safari > - Chromium > - Brave > - Microsoft Edge” I am using chromium on android… This is just ridiculous. Plus a redflag to Samsung needing me to be connected to the internet whilst using the application which uses Bluetooth to connect to the monitor.

Am I being stalked - Lemmy.World

From the begging. 7 years ago I’d moved to a new town and started swiping through tinder, matched with someone (Claire) and I at that time was shallow, hooked up that same evening and walked her home after. We continued this a few times. Months go by and I’m working a bar job, at a small nightclub in this small town it was pretty grim but being early 20s I didn’t mind too much, it was one of the quietist nights I had worked as festival season had started and the young night clubbers we’re in tents but Claire who I’d been hooking up with and was far from personal who I had never seen in the nightclub before had come in crying her eyes out asking why I didn’t love her, she was drunk and I took leave spoke with her, and following the encounter spoke a lot less after if at all. I move away, after 2 year I move to a city 3 hours across from the small town. I meat some one and we are dating and I put a picture up on Instagram of me and her, soon after Claire who I dont follow and she doesn’t follow me message me asking how ive been, I said I live somewhere else now and wish them best. Already found this strange. Anyway my new relationship goes on for 3 and a half years but then we break up. Deleting my old pictures of my now ex I get another message from Claire who isn’t following me nor am I felling her. Asking how I am and what I was upto but I think I either ignored it or kept it short. Current day, Claire pops up on tinder distance 3 miles, I swipe and match, let it cook and she soon after messages me, supper friendly like always and we idlely chat get her number and she wants to know why I matched, “I wanted to apologise for being shallow, narcissistic and not treating people with more respect” (upsets me the way I was) She’s gone on to say she thinks of me a lot, this makes me feel uncomfortable like she’s got an attachment issue… What’s everyone’s take. How should I processed I feel its unfair on her talking to her but I dont want her to waste her time thinking unhealthfuly about me. I have trauma so things like this can send me in a mental spiral but anyway thanks
