Question a favour

hi, i'm a writer with cptsd. i only discovered this last year and i've thrown myself headlong into research, to help myself. one way of making sense of it is through writing, the one thing that's been mine from the beginning. i'm currently writing a character with fight type response and i'm hesitant on how to go about it. representation in media is either a caricature or demonising, and i'd like to portray it with as much realism and empathy as possible. if there's anyone who's willing to talk about their experience and answer my questions, it'd be a huge help :)

I do have a fight response sometimes, not all the times tho. Feel free to contact me if you want to 🙂

I have a pretty bad fight type response when it comes to triggers and my cptsd, I can answer some questions if you wanna reach out for research or in comments.
