After 7 months of serious emotional disturbances and “flashbacks” I had after reading Cupcakes, some things happened that began to affect my IRL life and my actions toward other people. At this point I realized I needed to seek professional help. I was referred to a psychologist, whom i warned “this will probably be the weirdest thing you have ever heard.” I described my symptoms of anxiety attacks when reading quotes or seeing art based on the story that lead to nausea, dizziness, followed by extreme anger and hate, then finished off by leaving me in severe depression for the rest of the day. It was the anger that got me, i legitimately wanted to kill everyone who glorified that fic in any way (at least at a certain point in time). He told me that I was, in fact, suffering from PTSD. I had no idea what the story was about when i read it, and i was severely crushing on RD at the time, so it “hit me like a sledgehammer to the head” and “the memory was saved into the deep part of the brain that regards trauma and extreme emotions” because “it was no different then me being right there.” He helped me realize something; that it’s just a slasher.. that’s all. Before, i felt that everyone saw it like I did and as if they took pleasure in watching the one i loved die a horrible gruesome death (no i didn’t ever finish the whole thing, I almost passed out a quarter of the way in, but i know that she didn’t live). It wasn’t the gore, it was watching the pain. At that moment, all this hate lifted from me. I still get flashbacks occasionally, but they aren’t as bad, and much more rare. I still have a tough time talking about it in detail, but the worst part is telling others who think that I am just some sort of pity-party or oversensitive (I was a hardened /b/tard.. no gore can get to me), so i don’t say anything, i just beg them not to talk about it around me. Still, it’s hard to believe that a story could do that to me. Sprinkles needs to pay for my medical bills. |

@146
I'm not sure whats worse, the fact that you fell in love with a cartoon horse or got PTSD from a lame fanfiction. |

Cupcakes brought me into this fandom.
When will Sarge pay me for all the productivity I've lost looking at ponies? (joking) |

OP, you would be a great catch for a rapist, except I think that you're so easily traumatized that a rapist would actually get annoyed by your loud crying breakdown the moment they look at you weird. |

Hmm...that DOES seem a bit weaksauce.
(As someone who really does have a pony-related trigger for what might be some mild PTSD, but the pony was not the cause, just coincidental.) |

lol OP needs to grow a spine. i look at human entrails for a living. i ate 2 bowls of soup as i read sweet apple massacre and then a kid complains about PTSD from the most mild of grimdark? i have lost faith in OP. all of it. |

God damn some people fucked up their character reaction. Seriously, willpower > intellect > everything else. Always. |

you've got bigger problems than ptsd if you got it from a my little pony fan fiction. |

solution: drink lots of milk, because you'll need all that calcium to grow a spine. |

Mmmhhh...
On one hand, Getting a mental disorder from a fiction about ponies is pretty lame. On the other, It is STILL a disorder, And I try to take those very seriously. |
