As someone with PTSD, it is a chronic condition. Symptoms can go into remission and we can feel “normal” for extended periods of time, but there are always new situations that may trigger our memories and cause flashbacks as well as physical symptoms (racing heart, trembling, etc.). Very disheartening to hear some fans think the show’s depiction of Penny is simply “woke” lip service.
