Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Not exclusively but often related. Typically from childhood trauma. For the past month and change I've been living alone in a house by myself. There's a downstairs neighbor in the basement. Whenever I hear her car door close or the door open/close? I feel a jolt of anxiety. Small emotional flashbacks to when I was a kid and the only time I was happy and things were peaceful was when I was alone. Hearing the door was a signal things were about to get bad soon and your body just gets used to that. Extremely hard to break.
Like when my stomach sometimes gets cramps from hearing a car pull into the driveway.
Yeah this sounds like cPTSD.
