Some dude tried to merc me over my 7 year old android and that wasn't the worst part. The cops who responded literally searched me, made me explain my tattoos to prove they weren't gang related, told me to stop crying, and told me it was my fault I almost got offed for going to subway. I fucking hate America. The only reason I'll be able to sleep is because I have 120 pounds of "fuck you" guarding me. (I love my pitbull son)

    Honestly getting shot at wasn't nearly as traumatizing as spending 2 hours at a police department, fucking going over why I got shot at. I legitimately hope the person who held me up gets help apposed to the pigs who had me go over every tattoo and scar I had.

      i fucking hate cops. i dealt with them for really bad stuff that happened to me in the past, it almost felt more traumatizing than the actual event, they were acting like i was the suspect. pieces of shit

        He's ESA and seizure trained! During covid lock downs I decided to train him to an extreme point and he took to it like a magnet. My favorite command I can give him is show me the drugs which when said he'll give both of his front paws and sit up straight until you say ",the feds are gone"

                I trained him myself! Along with my ex spouse. It def is extremely difficult but since dogs can learn anything just starting to train them when showing seizure symptoms is easy! They can easily notice early symptoms like muscle twitching, it causes a ton of false positives since psychogenic seizures are different from normal seizures and present different each time, but my ex spouse trained dogs for a living it was extremely easy. If they have any books I'll dm you it.

    Oh god. Hope you're ok.

    The first time I got shot at (drive by; So Cal) I couldn't sleep for a week. Fuck the tough guy bullshit - that shit is traumatizing. Don't be surprised if you need to deflate or process it with a professional.

    Glad you have a fur friend to keep you safe.

      I'm glad the person who shot at me had fucking terrible aim. Like I own multiple guns, and would literally have to try to miss from 2 meters. This is just a continuation of terrible shit that is happening to me since I left rehab. I've been flash banged, stabbed 23 times, and shot at since I left rehab. Still somehow sober other than weed tho.

    I'm sorry Comrade. That kind of violence is never anything less than soulshaking terrifying. If you can be gentle with yourself for a few days. Our brains can be kind of weird, sometimes trauma can lie low for a few days then come on suddenly. Might be worth keeping some snacks and comfy stuff on hand, and asking a friend to keep their phone on in case you need to talk to someone.

    Give your pitty some scritches for me comrade-doggo
