well, that was old old donny
before old donny took over
and that's before new donny - after he got shot in the ear and now has PTSD
and can only manage 2 rallies in 2 weeks - that's all he could be psyched up for
thankfully no cars backfired in the area - or else he would have been under the desk
indeed, I feel for Trump. I've always considered him as a sufferer of something - god knows I don't know how he loved the life he lived (except for golf, yes - people can love that kind of thing genuinely)
but, now - if he does have PTSD and he well may have - then, he really does deserve sympathy
but, I don't know -
he may well be doing himself greater harm if he's forcing himself at this stage to go out and rally at all.One should take this with a grain of salt - but, there is some interesting reading in the refs
When dealing with PTSD, it is generally not advisable to immediately re-engage in the activity that caused the trauma. Recovery from trauma is a gradual process that takes time, and it is important to allow oneself to heal and manage stress reactions effectively[1][5]. Jumping back into the traumatic activity too soon can exacerbate symptoms and hinder recovery.
Instead, individuals are encouraged to engage in active coping strategies, which involve acknowledging the impact of trauma and taking steps to improve well-being. This can include seeking support from family and friends, engaging in calming activities, and gradually confronting reminders of the trauma in a controlled and supportive environment[5].
Physical activity can play a beneficial role in recovery as it is positively correlated with mental resilience and well-being after traumatic events. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms, and improve overall mental health[2]. However, it is important to approach this gradually and in a way that feels safe and manageable for the individual.
Ultimately, recovery from PTSD is an individual process, and it is important to consult with healthcare professionals to develop a tailored approach to healing that may include therapy, physical activity, and other coping strategies[1][5].[1] https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/isitptsd/common_reactions.asp
