Jennifer Sky, whom I had never heard of before, has written an article chronicling her struggles with PTSD. She traces the source of her torment not to experiences in battle or some violent experience, but to modeling as a teen.

In January 2010, I moved back to New York to finish college in my mid-thirties, a thing I had been too busy to do as a kid. It was a hard winter. The panic attacks came more frequently. I began taking anti-anxiety medication, along with migraine medication every day, but sometimes this was not enough. Everything was a possible trigger[...]

Soon after, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD. Everything led back to my time as a teen model.

This bitch turned into a 30-year-old college student after doing bit parts on Xena and the like. She started out as a model in Japan at 15. She feels deep trauma since the agency she worked for "did not show [her] the grocery store or the nearest laundromat, the bank or police station... [or] how to dial an international line home." The same process repeated over again when she moved to New York City at 16. Here's part of how she describes her living conditions:

Quote:

Bob De Niro was our neighbor. The Bowery Bar gave us free drinks all night.

Sounds horrifying. But seriously, according to her, being a model is hard work and full of 'abuse.'

Quote:

Countless questionable things happened to me during my time as a model. From neglect to molestation to topless photo shoots to men exposing themselves to being made to stand in a freezing pool until I turned blue, I would be abused for the entirety of my career.

You mean, there's a potential downside to chasing fame in an unfamiliar city. Zero sympathy.

The culture of victimhood continues. PTSD from modeling? How can she even say this shit with a straight face? This is what a feminized society looks like: everyone is a victim, and someone else is responsible for their problems.

I always thought it would be funny if someone from the past visited people like this.

"Oh, Facebbok is down? I don't have electricity and draw my water from a well"

"Free birth control? Birth control doesn't even exist"

"You were traumatized looking for a grocery store in New York City? I have fucking polio"

Even accounting for embellishment and exaggeration ('deep trauma'), getting sent to another country that has a totally different culture and a language you don't speak would be quite difficult as a 15 year old.

Sorry but no. She would have been staying at hotels where the staff speaks english. If she had no car(15), the agency likely would have arranged someone to give her a ride.

as for not being able to find things like a grocery store, i thought she was saying that she wasn't allowed to eat because she was expected to be thin as a rail. That is one thing about being a model that I am genuinely sympathetic for(the girls typically aren't allowed to eat if they want to work, they need to be super thin)

Is this her?

Our society desperately needs to start teeing off on these losers.

No sympathy from me. My Uncle was sent to Vietnam at 16.

I guess they'd better stop high school foreign exchange programmes before more precious snowflakes get traumatised.

Gonna need those topless photo shoot pics....how can we make an informed decision otherwise?
