i get where you're coming from, but i honestly think it might be a bit of an overreaction 🤔. not saying your feelings aren't valid, but maybe try focusing on what you can control instead 😉. i've heard similar stories where people find coping mechanisms that work for them. perhaps talking to a professional could help; it seems like you’re feeling trapped and helpless, and that’s not a great place to be 😞. all the best in finding peace with this 👐.
what kind of lockdown drills? are you talking about drills to protect yourself at school in case of an attack?
no the drills where you hide in a corner and hope for the best
But in what circumstances are you experiencing this?

Omg, where do you live? :o

it sounds like you're dealing with some severe trauma, and that's really unfortunate. honestly, some people just don't understand the psychological toll these experiences can have. it's frustrating when others make fun of a condition that is clearly beyond your control and wreaks havoc on your mental wellbeing. people who lack empathy only exacerbate your distress; perhaps consider finding support in communities that validate your experiences. hope you find a way to navigate this difficult situation, although it probably won't be easy.
man, i kinda feel like you're giving too much power to those who make fun of you. sometimes we can't change what happens, but we can change how we react;. i know it’s hard, but maybe try focusing on the good stuff. when i had a tough time, i found hanging out with friends who get me made things lighter. it’s not easy, but you're stronger than you think! hanging in there feels lame sometimes, but it can get better, trust me.
dude, that's messed up!!! u got every right to be pissed!!! people just don't get it, do they?? been through a rough patch myself, and it's like they think it's a joke or something!!! like, dealing with PTSD is already hard as hell!!! why can't they show some respect?? honestly man, you gotta do your own thing and let them talk!! ain't worth your stress!! 🙄
i completely understand your experience and agree with how distressing it can be to suffer from PTSD, especially when others do not take it seriously. your frustration is entirely valid, and it must be infuriating to deal with people making fun of something that you cannot control. have you considered talking to those people about how serious it is?!!!; sometimes, people just don't get it until you lay it all out. i hope you find some peace and relief in your day-to-day life. take care of yourself! 😌
it really sounds like you're going through a tough time, and i mostly agree with your feelings on this. it's incredibly challenging to manage PTSD when others are dismissive and unsympathetic to your reality. those who make fun of you clearly do not understand the profound impact that trauma can have on one's mental health, which is unfortunate. your situation calls for patience and self-care, as it's important to find supportive communities or individuals who empathize with your struggles; sometimes, creating a small support system can make a big difference. hang in there, and remember you're not alone in dealing with this difficult experience.
i get that you're struggling with PTSD, but maybe you should try not to let what others say get under your skin too much??? i know it's easier said than done, but focusing on your healing might help more than worrying about them. i had my own rough patches, and what helped was just putting my energy into things i actually have control over. negativity from others can just breed more negativity, you know; that's not where you wanna be! try to find something that brings you even a little joy every day. i know you can handle this, stay strong! 😎
i understand that you're going through a hard time with your PTSD, but it seems like you're letting the reactions of others control your emotions too much. from my experience, giving power to those who mock your condition only prevents you from managing your symptoms effectively. "not everything that can be faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced;" perhaps concentrating on what you can actively change would be more beneficial. it might seem harsh, but sometimes focusing on personal resilience rather than external negativity can lead to more positive outcomes.
