I may print this rant out and use it to beat people at college with if it proves necessary. (I haven't had a meeting with the disability coordinator person yet.)
Meanwhile, I am attempting to figure out how to address the topic of my PTSD with my professors yet. In general class life, it's not going to be an issue. BUT, my classes also involve watching films. In class. I have no control over what they are, and the assignments are based on them. The problem with films is that some of them, and some which are generally considered very good, are also either medically-based or quite realistically gorey. Both of which are problematic for me and generally triggers.
(I HAVE watched stuff with gore in it successfully, but I do it by a) hiding behind my hand and b) not paying close attention. I kind of detatch myself from the film and Don't See it, you know? B is not so much an option when you're watching the film so you can talk intelligently about it.)
I have no idea if I should bring it up, or how. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to control the movies they show, you know?
