Despite, or thanks to, cruel and inhumane treatment during a long period of time (many, many years), you might develop a good and healthy sense of sarcastic humor.

Serious Note
I'm forever grateful to the people behind CAPS. Mine isn't Combat PTSD and it took me 27 years to discover the CAPS (onset: January, 1993). All struggle aside, now I know.
Words from one of the recent (2019) doctors I've met along the way: "Diagnosis for PTSD, here in Sweden is supposed to be accessed by refugees only."
This is one of the many reasons it took 27 years for me to discover the CAPS.
The reason for me to say it's not Combat PTSD is out of respect for how this 'word' originated.
About the CAPS: Maxed out in all categories except for suicide; ZERO. In loving memory of my father; our father, and our mother's life partner (1934 – 1987).
Recently, I've also found out about what matters the most during the times of uncertainty: Health, Relationships and Finances.
There's a place between Fight and Flight where uncertainty rules. Keep the time you spend here to a minimum!
Today, I learned about something called Post Traumatic Growth. Thank you!

Pain is a very strange thing indeed—both physical and mental—and also very different from person to person.
Since long ago, I refuse taking any kind of synthetic medication for my injuries. I've had enough of that crap!
I also do stretching excercises and I'm also trying to get the hang of a yoga swing a very special person gave to me some time ago, my sister, who has been with me throughout this ordeal from the beginning, a True Guardian Angel — so, it's an upside down world, sometimes.
Again, an excellent opportunity to practice patience, focus and reflection.
