6. All the initials and catch phrases are for their system of short hand.

A few years ago PTSD was the new phrase for war veterans and it caught on because we have all gone thru some traumatic experience
that could trigger stuff to get hung up about. The term Hung UP was used during the 50s and 60s then stopped because it sounded corny
but it's meaning is valid =we get hung up on memories and it can stop us from being in the " now" which is another over used bull shit term. So the solution to all our troubles is to not be hung up and to be here now which sounds like a bad script .

It's hard being around the lingo when it's there not for us but for the convenience of others to diagnose sometimes with no intention of treatment but just to make them feel superior .We aren't stats ,sometimes we are test subjects but we aren't stats.

What do we know about ourselves ? what if we make ourselves up and don't really exist ? Why do we have to pay someone to listen to us ? I think it's because we are complex , sensitive and " hung up " but fuck em if they can't take a joke .
