has anyone ever
had an issue where a pokemon's moves stopped working on them as well?
or I guess
is anyone else having bad dreams again? Like
back in October?

I thought it was only soldiers |
[There's a name for it. He didn't think there ever would be. That other people know what it is. What it means...]

A traumatic situation is a traumatic situation. They don't all have to be the same to get similar reactions or behavior patterns. Nightmares, flashbacks, persistent memories, avoidance of things that trigger memories.
....I broke so many radios when I was younger. Couldn't stand the static.
no subject
Didn't even know there was a name for it. Or anything like that. I was all right for a long time here but
then that night at the prom
[Because if Harry's admitting to smashing radios, he may as well admit to something himself.]
no subject
That was....terrifying.
[Second worst vacation, ever.]

it was like
like being back home watching something happen all over again

I'm sorry to hear it hit so close to home for you. It's no wonder sleep is more difficult after that.
no subject
if I knew it wasn't going to happen again - that it couldn't happen again.
Now I'm just here. wondering when I'm going to look up and see it

But it's also not good to have stuck in your head. Sometimes there are things we just ....don't know. And unless they find out more about those things then yes there is a chance they might show up again.
But.....we're all spread out now. If they show up again it's also possible that you might not be there. Or maybe in the future they'll figure out what brought them here and they will be able to say that it won't happen again and be sure about it. It takes time. And I know that doesn't help you at the moment, or maybe it does just a little.
But you aren't alone here. If your anonymous post has shown anything it's that people want to help others. Even if they can't fully make the exact situation stop for them.
But you should try to avoid spending all your time thinking about it. If you have any hobbies or anything that you can do to take your mind off of things, I'd suggest that.
Oh, and don't isolate yourself. It only makes paranoia worse. I know that one from experience.
[True he'd sort of had to as he was in hiding but he's well aware now that it didn't help his mental state.]
no subject
Actually know if that will help or not. Not yet. It isn't that I don't appreciate it. I do. I
Don't really know what I'm saying. Aside from "thank you".
[He wishes he were better at this. But explaining your brain hangups wasn't something you learned how to do while trying to lead a team of space freedom fighters.]
no subject
And you're welcome. I hope things get easier for you. Feel free to text me if you need to talk sometime. I don't mind.
[He's more then familiar with not being able to explain brain hangups and to some extent he'd never really had to. It was more trying to explain them to himself. Which is why here, he always stresses talking to people. He'd never been able to do that back home with the cult after them and having to sound sane enough that they wouldn't take his kid away from him. But it's different here.]
no subject
When I think I can talk about this, more personally.
[And he hopes he will be able to. Because, truly, he's grateful for Harry -- that he's trying so hard. That he's making an effort. He does want it to work.]
[But only time will tell.]
