As the weeks have gone by, we have had the opportunity to observe the housemates.
Mandy has been very consistent with her reactions, making me wonder if there is more to it. Lately I have been wondering if she suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. It could be something she has not realized.
Looking at the symptoms of PTSD, I feel it fits.
- she takes everything as a personal attack
- she can't handle when she is being corrected and automatically attacks rather being defensive
- she feels victimized even when she is not
- her emotions and behavior are extreme and fluctuates a lot
- is lost in her own world at times
- she attacks without thinking or understanding, even attacking well wishers
- doesn't try to understand the other point
I am now wondering if it is related to PTSD... I ask this because this behavior of hers is constant.
