    1. Indeed, they were hugging one officer so hard with a door, that he had blood coming out of his mouth. That’s REAL love.

  1. As someone who suffers from mild anxiety issues, I agree. Trauma is not always one big blow, it can be multiple small things that chip away at you. And these things can be absolutely random. A noise, a word, seeing something they reminds you of your trauma and you’re triggered again and again.

    You stay strong to not worry the people around you, and you can stay strong for a very long time. But everyone has their limits, even the toughest and strongest of us has their moments of weakness, and it takes an even greater strength to seek help so you can let go of some of your burdens.

    1. It’s a good sign that you are aware of your anxiety and recognize the triggers. Hope you have a good support network for you, and know that it’s ok to feel the way you do.
      Be safe, be well. 🙏🏼

    1. @Joe Dementia Fingers you know he got impeached twice literally no president had ever been as corrupt and blatant about it as he hade been. tRump deserves to have the book of the law to be thrown at him and have him made an example of. He sent a mob of rabid supporters to the capital to try to over throw a free and fair election simple as that. If you still don’t think so think about if it was Obama that did that would you think that it was ok if it had ruffle the same out come? What do you think the republicans would do if that was the case? Simply put if you think the actions of the terrorist on the 6th were ok then you clearly do not want to be part of America or understand what America stands for.

    4. @Life is better when I do something. AHH WHOSE THE CUTE BABY GIRL YOU ARE YOU ARE! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😄🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

  2. John Earle Sullivan insurgence usa.abtifa/blm activist filmed alot of the footage Shooting at the Capitol great documentary,,he was right next to unarmed female ashli babbet that was shoot by a cop..she was white

  3. Sure I would love to get some psychological treatment for pandemic I’ve been through but should I spent my money for rent or paying expenses medical bill mmm Na I’m just thug it out !! Sure wish we had free healthcare….🤫

  4. When are they going to pick up Mitch, Lindsay, Cruz, Hawley, Jordan, Trump & the rest?
    Charge them all …or charge no-one.
    “EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW”

  5. …I have PTSD every day from rush-hour traffic…but one of my sons is a “Night Stalker”…a loud bang…I get it…I really do

  6. I got PTSD after surviving multiple shootings in my neighborhood and one thing that bothers me the most about this topic is the cost of mental health. For example my works insurance only covered 5 appointments with a psychologist. Long story short I have to try to live with it because I can’t afford help.

  7. Whoever thinks people who are “Anti-T****” or whatever who wore crap with his name and did those horrible things just to make him look bad, you could not be more wrong. Nobody who is so “Anti-T****” would degrade themselves with anything that has his name on it. And the victims of this horrible day deserve better. And btw, T**** makes himself look bad all on his own, no outside efforts needed. When I see these images of January 6th, it breaks my heart and I want to do something to help, somehow. But I can’t. What I won’t do is go out of my way to disrespect these people. May God bless these survivors and all of America.

  8. Maga cult: “What’s PTSD?”
    Expert: “Well, it’s post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition where you are having difficulties recovering after experiencing tragic events.”
    Maga cult: **stare back blankly** “What does ‘post’ mean?”
    Expert: 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    1. Elected representatives in most democracies wear pins to distinguish themselves as such. Anyone with a pin would be seen as a potential target, staffers etc don’t wear them
