I've had PTSD. Honorable Mention in I Wrote This Challenge. Top Story - June 2025. Content Warning.
PTSD is flooring me at the moment, making me feel a bit insane, whilst detached AND over-emotional. It's the first time I've experienced it fully as an 'entity' in probably twenty years. I feel separated from myself, whilst also fully logical. It's a strange sensation. It's frightening. I'm frightening myself.

Love you both (very differently)
I love him, and I love you too. Why is that so wrong? He makes me spark, every interaction exciting to the point of magic. The chemistry is off the page. He makes me feel like a woman to be cherished, wanted, respected. He woos me, cooks for me, makes me special cocktails, takes me out, holds me, does things with me that make my body light up. He tries new things with me. He is lace on sweat, removed slowly.

Nightdreaming
He sat at night, and he couldn't stop thinking about her. His fingers traced the rim of a whiskey glass. He had necked that whiskey, trying to bury the feelings that threatened to devour him. Now, he once again filled his glass. Once again he downed the brown nectar.
