Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If you're genuinely interested, I would suggest finding better sources for more accurate information.

for example, this is from the American Psychological Association:

Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.

While these feelings are normal, some people have difficulty moving on with their lives. Psychologists can help them find constructive ways of managing their emotions.

You do yourself a disservice when you just arbitrarily decide that your perspective is "right." information isn't right or wrong, there are degrees of accuracy. It's important to just try to learn more accurate information.

Does this help you to understand the why? Trauma is such a loaded word that any official definition is strongly limited in its expressiveness. Where can I find the definitions that work?

I'm sorry I couldn't find a definition that works for you, since you're clearly not actually discussing in good faith. Goodbye, troll.

I didn't mean to offend you and I want you to know that I appreciated that you took the time to not only look up the link but also copy the explanation. Of course I have to object. I think I am in line with the comic when I ask why there is anxiety. The capital letter 'why' wouldn't be funny if 'trauma creates anxiety' would be a sufficient answer.
