I have basic PTSD, yet everyone expects that as soon as I get in a car I’ll have a meltdown.

Yes, I get nervous while in a car, nor will I probably be able to drive one, and depending on who’s driving, I’ll have a minor panic attack, but I’m not gonna break down and have war-flashbacks.

It’s frustrating. Like, I know I’m fucked up in the head now due to a lot of things, but I don’t need to be coddled. I can handle myself just fine in those moments, and I actually do a lot better when I’m alone with my laptop or some music for a bit.
