I lurked on this thread for a few months, and it was the whole "PTSD" narrative that finally boiled my piss enough to pluck up the courage to leave my first comment.
I said at the time that being ex-forces, I found it hurtful to read day-in, day-out, about poor Klattie's "battle with post traumatic stress" and how it "explained her outrageous behaviour" etc etc...
Without sounding all "woe, is me" I, like so many others, returned home with my mental wellbeing completely shattered.
I got zero help from the MOD following a medical discharge (lol not that type of "discharge"
![Nauseated face :nauseated_face: 🤢](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f922.png)
) and at the time, the NHS simply didn't have the resources in place to offer the intensive counselling I needed.
Luckily, I did get help via the RAF Benevolent Fund. I owe my life to two wonderful ladies who over almost two years patiently, and compassionately, put me back together, piece by piece. They're angels, and I still keep in touch with them to this very day.
So what does Krustie do to get "help"...?
She swans in and out of The Priory at will for a couple of weeks... Yeah, because it is just
that easy to cope with everyday life again. Although, I'm sure shoving half of Columbia's number one export up your sniffer helps immensely at times as well?!!
I have never in my life witnessed somebody play the "mental health card" so expertly, and so shamelessly.
That is why I find TL so cathartic, as you Krusties can see straight through the bullshit and, like me, know exactly the type of games she plays. Her only MH issue is complete and utter narcissism...
Edit:
Sorry for the long rant, but as you can tell, it's a topic I'm rather passionate about
