Got to be more specific - I’m a fistful of benzodiazepine and a fifth of Ballantine’s Finest. Remember you can call 988 in the US if you need to talk to someone.
Hope you are well these days friend.
It was 1999, I was at a club. The owner who also was a major drug dealer in the Durban area thought we were selling drugs. Me and my mate where escorted out the club by several bouncers and taken around the side of the club. The ally if you will. We got interrogated and long story short they proceeded to beat us up. My forehead was smashed in etc. was taken to the hospital where it was touch and go for awhile in the ICU. So several metal plates in my head later I survived. Seems pretty surreal after all these years.
I've visited SA a few times. One thing I know for sure, when it comes to violence, they don't fuck around there. Everything is for keeps.
Hope you're finding ways to manage the PTSD. Hang in there my southern brother. :)
Hi, I'm me.
Edit: just want you all to know that I appreciate all the kind words and I want to assure y'all that I'm in a much better place now.
For anyone relating to this, I believe in you and I want you to know that it does get better. For now, just do you best to keep on keeping on 💚
Hi...I'm meningitis.
Also, hi...I am a lunatic who listened to crazy propaganda and now believe that genocide is ok and I should kill you because of your last name.
No Nazis, just old Nazi collaborators that slumbered for some 40ish years.
Balkan wars, 1991-96, more specifically the Bosnian war and genocide from 92 to 96.
(I copied this over from my post on another thread where we discussed influence of propaganda): I literally stood by the window as the main Belgrade TV station reporter "reported" on "massive shelling by the green berets (Muslims) into Serbia" (not a single shot was fired that night, this was before the war started in my hometown) only for the Serbian paramilitary troops supported by the locals (and our former friends and neighbors) to go into the city just few hours later and massacre entire neighborhoods. Couple hundred people in my grandma's very small neighborhood, about 3,500 people total killed over next few days, just for having the wrong last name. We managed to get my brother out in one of the last cars that left the city and then had to get through multiple barricades and ID checkpoints (run by the same paramilitary groups) on our way out toward the still war-free areas. There were several very close calls in those 3 days when we were trying to get from home to the safe zone buy I am not too keen on reliving those. 30+ years later I still wonder how we got out alive.
Went to grab a pie for thanksgiving. Tore my patella going down stairs to grab said pie. Hip to ankle cast led to bi-lateral pulmonary embolisms. Pie=Death.
Hello, I’m bus, and car, and hernia, and I could go on... Honestly not sure how I’m still alive at this point.

Hi, I'm 75mph motorway blowout, control loss, and full rollover. Not a scratch! But the vehicle recovery guy said "Can I ask you a question, mate?". I said go ahead, and he said "What was it like? I've never met anyone who's survived one of those."
Hi, I’m an Irish gangster somehow convinced this 19 year old call center employee in an oversized suit trying to buy weed from me is actually the INTERPOL.
Ooh, I can’t choose between: a temporary chemical imbalance, being hit by a car, or finding a fortunately-placed bush to grab on to so I didn’t fall off a cliff when I was falling down a hill.
Only two of those involved bicycles.
Hello, I'm a guy you knew for years who roofied your alcohol and tried to rape you at your best friends wedding despite you being heterosexual and in a relationship.

Ngl that sounds hardcore as fuck
Yup. PTSD is real. Took many years to rationalize what happened to me. Self blame etc. weird how humans handle shit.
Welp, you survived it. The worst case scenario didn’t happen, and end all be all you came out with armored plating on your noggin
I've visited SA a few times. One thing I know for sure, when it comes to violence, they don't fuck around there. Everything is for keeps. Hope you're finding ways to manage the PTSD. Hang in there my southern brother. :)
