Today, I was mugged at gunpoint by a senior citizen. She now has a lousy $20, and I probably have PTSD. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Senior citizens...sometimes dangerous,remember to think twice when an old lady asks you to help her cross the street.

You should of pushed her and forced her to call the authorities.

Are you illiterate or just stupid? The old lady had a gun. Get it? Oh, and it's "should have".

I'm a 15 years serving member if the Armed Forces I sleep once a week. Stop bitching

You don't know a damn thing about PTSD!

Don't be such a pussy this is what is the matter with America you have a disorder it's called moron work on fixing that.

FYL... Even if you were brave / stupid enough to side step and fight her off, you'd end up being the guy who beat up an old lady. On a side note, I just read that they may have found a medication that cures PTSD (or you can self-medicate with some MDMA if you can stand listening to house music).

There are meds to help interrupt the development of PTSD, if taken soon after trauma. A lot cheaper than therapy later. If OP doesn't have health insurance, his state/locale may have victim assistance funds for this. Best of luck, OP.

Reminds me of a meme I once saw: "If the good die young, that's why old people are assholes." Haha it isn't true most of the time but it fits this FML I think.

Well you won't know you have PTSD until (and only if) at least 6 months after the incident, you randomly have flashbacks and whatnot. But you should've been able to handle granny.

Seriously? You got mugged by an old lady? Who next a little girl? Thanks for the laugh though.

You know, little girl with a gun can still put a bullet in your head, so yes, you can be mugged by a little girl too.

A bullet in your skull is still a bullet in your skull, no matter who put it there. Would you try mouthing off to someone with a lethal weapon?
