First world problems

Some people just have no clue how good they have it. They suffer the smallest adversity and complain and complain as if the world has come to an end. I ain't perfect that is for sure. But omg I have had lots happen to me over the years. Some my fault and some beyond my immediate control. But I know no matter how bad it is, it could be worse and I know "this two will pass". To me the real problems are health problems. Sometimes they can be fixed and other times sadly not. The rest of the problems are just challenges and I love a challenge.

And they either crash and burn or learn from it.

Mostly crash and burn though, don't know how many times i've seen people proudly say how they have PTSD. I just roll my eyes.

Yeah but then you can get a cool service dog and take it with you in every store.

Good Lord, I am a complainer, but when we grew up we had no such things....lol it was complain about splitting cords of wood or yard work and homework which my boys and step-daughters never had to do. I feel the internet and the free access to info is the bane of our youths existence. Too much info, way too soon.

In my field of work, its friggin staggering how many people tell me they have PSTD... due to my position I have to acknowlegde it and hear them out.. Many claim PSTD with zero actual diagnosis from a doctor. I shake my head.

Next is the documented cases.. yes there are some real PSTD people out there. But some I can see with my own two eyes how the person went to 25 different doctors until they found a doctor who would rubber stamp "PSTD"...

Again, there are some real PSTD people I've worked with, few and fair between.

In the end, the ones without a diagnosis or diagnosis which to me seems BS seem to be people looking for a excuse for what they do or what they want done.

I worked with a real "treat" of a person a year or so ago.. diagnosis with PSTD, and it took 6 years of them going to various doctors to finally get that diagnosis.. And the cause of PSTD?? It actually said on the report the PSTD was caused by a surgery the person got 6 years prior to the diagnosis.. so 12 before last year. The surgery?? wasn't; on the face, didn;t leave a scar etc.. It was a leg surgery that no one even found out about. So this person wants to get the government to buy them a service dog (5-25K) and they want to be able to bring it everywhere. I can go on and on about this person but its complete bs they have PSTD. They are a huge manipulator and liar in every aspect of their life. Every single time this person is caught screwing up, lying, not performing in their job they say "It's my PSTD"... I literally caught them in a GIANT massive liar that put many people in a very bad situation and when confronted "my PSTD makes me not remember things properly.. I sometimes remember things differently them they happened"..
 
I don't know what to say about this one. 50, 000 or so kids in foster care across the country with the majority of them being in care due to neglect, emotional maltreatment, exposure to domestic violence or physical or sexual abuse. Some of these kids are infants that have been sexually abused (I have worked with 2 or 3 year olds). Little rugrats with HIV that still have a difficult time being placed in care due to the stigma. This is just those that make it into care. One in three Canadians has experienced abuse before the age of 15, and suicide is the second leading cause of death for Canadians between 15 and 24. The stats are getting worse and it really does suck to hear about suicides with people you have worked with.
It is a first world problem. It saddens many that work with them. Hardens others. Burns everyone out.

It should be caught as malingering disorder. Nobody seems to look for that anymore.
 
I have a sister whose common law boy friend claims he has PSTD...

The guy was in the military for a few years.. he did go to the middle east as an electrician.. He never saw any fighting, he never left the security of the military base, he is was was about %40-%50 body fat and 300lbs etc...

just boggles my mind when he posts shit about struggling with PSTD.

ladies and gentlemen this is our future though.. "millennial adults" will ruin this country for the next 25 years..


my grandpa always says you need a good world war to straighten out society when it starts getting out of hand

i've worked with more suicidal kids, sexually abused kids and neglected kids than I want to think about.. your right the numbers are on the rise as well. I have seen the number of incidents rise infront of my face. I would confidently say abuse/neglect/foster kids/violent homes/suicidal kids has doubled infront of me in the last 10 years.

Please understand I do not lump these kids in to the same group I mentioned above...

Its actually interesting how the type of kid you just discussed goes about their day compared to the type of kid I was talking about (the manilpators and the ones who want a diagnosis for their own benefit)... The ones you talk about rarely if ever use their situation for an excuse. I have thought about it for a few mins and I can't actually tell you one time a kid with real trauma has ever used it as an excuse. Yes sometimes the trauma casues the kid to completely break down infront of me, but never has one used their history as an excuse or maniplute.. Yet the fakers out their, its usually the first thing out of their mouth.

just googled it... is this a real diagnosis? or is this just a label? By that I mean is their a real illness which causes this and its hard for the person to control? Or is it a label for someone who does this like I'd label them a "liar"

It has been around as long as the DSM and documented well before that. It's not a real illness but needs to be addressed by the DSM because many people do try to fake mental illness and other illness to get out of things or gain things.

We live in different time. We don’t need to sweat survival which is something our grandfathers and great grandfathers had to. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

A lot of things like this has shifted too far left. We allow too many people to find excuse to exist in life and not do the work.

The real suckers are the people who work and pay their taxes to support these POSs.
 
This is what the kids I work with tell me.
They are bored and a lot have mental illness because of the boredom, they have no freedom to really do anything anymore. Parents helicopter parent, all the stuff being taught in school about sexuality is confusing, internet gives them way too much access to everything.
Like one kid told me, a lot of kids experiment with drugs out of boredom, others overthink problems because they have nothing else.
Sitting on computers or phones and not going outside is wrecking these kids.
Plus as a society I think we have gone way overboard with the protect everyone to the point of removing their freedom thing.

I'm not educated like you guys, but I deal with teenagers and have been for 20 years and things have really changed and even the kids don't like it. They are not all accepting as everyone is led to believe. I cant tell you how many times they tell me they wish they grew up when I did so they could go out and have fun also because now you are charged for the same illegal harmless things I did as a child. So they sit in their basements playing video games and get high.
