I have recently been "diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder." I'm trying to figure out what that means, or if I have a choice in how I perceive that now that someone has tried to mark me with a named idea. I feel like it's all really a load of shit you know? Because at least as far as I can tell, reacting to traumatic events and developing awareness of danger as a result seems like a healthy, reasonable failsafe mechanism for a creature trying to survive. If someone goes through trauma and doesn't change, I ought to think there's something terribly wrong with them. It's gotten me thinking about the power of naming things, or taking names away from our ideas, and how our perceptions are influenced by that.

I don't want to be marked by someone else's idea, at least not one that will influence my perception of myself.
