"I am fighting PTSD" is merely currentyearese for how our mothers and grandmothers would have said "I'm upset and sad."
It's affect inflation: every feeling is stretched out of proportion to its actual significance through the use of ever more extreme descriptive terms in an "arms race" of escalating superlatives.
These snowflakes are in for a big shock when they eventually experience a real trauma. Having devalued the necessary language to feed their drama addiction, the lack of ability to express their feelings will leave them emotionally constipated.
