Explaining Complex PTSD While Planning to Give the Writing Away

January 28, 2021

The day begins as a plain account of phone bills, medical bills, exam collapse, and why complex PTSD wrecked A Levels despite strong school performance. From there it moves through regret about Trump and conspiracy culture, Annie Leibovitz, Singapore memories, and a new idea that the book should help readers and send any money to charity.

5:30 p.m.

I sent my home security officer Weerasena Weerasena to go pay my phone bill. In Singapore, I had a prestigious 8 digit phone number with many numbers repeated and many auspicious number 8s. However, I was often depressed, I would call Jagath Sumathipala mami, Ammi, Lal Loku Thathi and many friends in Sri Lanka. The phone bill was often $400 USD/ SGD per month! I learned to be more careful with money.

The medical bills in Singapore were about $500/ month as well, as I bought branded Remeron instead of the generic Mirtazapine which is cheaper. Sometimes the consultation fees would go above $1,000 dollars a month with Dr Joshua Kua! I have copies of the medical bills at Raffles Hospital, as it is very high at $1000+!

When I used to do tests, I would do well. I did fantastic in school tests. This is a bit strange, so i will write the next part clearly to avoid confusing you. So, in the British curriculum, there is a Edexcel program. This culminates in Ordinary Levels and Advanced Levels-- also known more popularly as O Levels and A Levels. When you do A Levels, there is a concept known as "predicted grades". This is calculated based on your school tests. This predicted grade is used when applying for universities or placements at universities. You might get a conditional offer for a university program or degree based on this. Some universities, offer conditional placement if As are predicted, but will still accept you if you get Bs or Cs.

Doctors in Sri Lanka are not as well trained as British or American doctors, just as our companies, healthcare, education, government and all facets are not as competitive as the developed world equivalent. The judicial system, the military, the police, these things are more advanced in the developed countries. America's military can destroy Sri Lanka within minutes. A Singapore court case takes hours to process what Sri Lanka courts will take many years, decades and may even never finish processing, or worse, never complete processing properly, impartially and fairly in SL at all for anyone. The police force in Singapore is more proficient in law enforcement than Sri Lanka's. This is a fact. These are facts.

The doctors did not know what PTSD is, so they could treat me in Sri Lanka. It could be that in a country that underwent a civil war of 25 years which cost 40,000 lives and a violent communist uprising that cost 60,000 lives and there is still a lot of persistent crime -- these things did not seem important to doctors.

My grades in school tests were splendid because although I did not attend school, with less than 10% attendance, my school teachers like Asita Amarasinghe and Sarah Nazeem lovingly taught me in their homes. They went out of their way, they went over and beyond, they came through. They were the angels G-d sent, they gave me the chance to learn. I did miraculously in O Levels with 10% attendance or less, I got A for Economics. I got A for Biology. As and Bs. It was a miracle.

In Singapore, same story. But I had recovered partially. My grades were terrible. I got Bs and Cs and Ds. I failed Financial Accounting. So, I took a step back, and realised I needed help. I spent $120 per hour learning from my friend Valerie Chai. She was super smart. I think maybe 5 hours per month, I got her to teach me the hard parts. This resulted in my grades improving to As and Bs. I got the highest scores for Business Law, with above 80% on first attempt, a notoriously difficult topic. I am proud I was able to make it work. I love my friends. I will survive and I will succeed.

6:15 p.m.

I watched Evita with Madonna. I did not particularly like it, it felt hatefully satirical of Evita Peron. I do not love musicals. I like to watch once, like a movie, then it is done. I like Hamilton, but I can only watch once. I like some of the songs, but not really, I get fed up, I grow sick and tired of these. I will not recommend Evita, it is like a 4 out of 10.

I had some Thai food for lunch. I had no breakfast. I ate some dehydrated, or dried apples which Anoja Chandratilleke sent me from Australia. It is nice, it is like jack fruit. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

6:30 p.m.

I just like to do what is "right". This way, you feel safe, there is no regret.

To regret is to be in hell.

Some choices, some decisions, it is harder, you must compromise, you must make tough choices.

With the civil war, it was an embarrassment. I feel ashamed that my Sinhalese acted wickedly, fighting over an official language is incredibly stupid.

It is a joke.

I saw this QAnon people, I regret laughing when they claimed, "the world is run by Satanic, child pedophilic cannibalistic elite cabal".

I regret more, that I will even pretend it is true because I think the stupidity is funny.

I will be serious next time.

There are people who genuinely believe conspiracy theories.

Some guy packed a van with explosives in the US, then set it off.

I look at Trump, knowing how clever he is, I actually believe he is just playing a big joke on people. I believe Trump is an actor.

He is just enjoying himself.

I do not believe they are serious.

I look at the KKK, I do not believe they are serious, I believe they are just pretending, they think it is cool.

But they are not. Despite my hopeful beliefs, I know they are serious. Trump is seriously that way.

███████

I regret nothing.

I had Kalu Dodol. My mum says, "Ramani Loku Ammi has sent these for me" as tribute to the young Bodhisattva Maitreya Buddha: Lehan -- in exchange for vastly disproportionate lifetimes of good, merit karma over eons and eternities of improved rebirths.

Kalu Dodol, I can give some to my type 2 diabetic friend Jonathan Hirshon when he comes here. I am sure he will love it. I am not very sure what he can eat and what he cannot eat as a type 2 diabetic, I think he can eat a bit, but not too much sugar. I dunno anything at all about health stuff. He could teach me later.

It is a sweet dish, it is made from kittul or kithul jaggery, rice flour and coconut milk--it is delicious. It is apparently, according to Wikipedia a difficult and time consuming dish to make. It is one of my favourite.

Cousin Puthula Sumathipala Mayakaduwa's husband Janaka aiya's dad Chandrasiri uncle, took me to Mannar, Chillaw and Jaffna, he speaks fluent Tamil, we had great fresh seafood. I ate the lagoon prawns, I ate the shells too. He gave me some great fresh milk in Jaffna. He owns 500+ hectares of prawn ponds.

He got me some great Kalu Dodol and I gifted some to my mum. Chandrasiri uncle was like my dad, he taught me to run a business for 6 months. I am most grateful to Janaka aiya and Jagath mami for giving me this, something that nobody can ask for.

FORREST (V.O.)

Nighttime in the Army is a lovely

time.

Forrest lies in his bunk and looks up.

FORREST (V.O.)

We'd lay there in our bunks, and I'd

miss my momma. And I'd miss Jenny.

A young private tosses a Playboy magazine onto Forrest.

YOUNG PRIVATE

her!

Forrest pick up the magazine and turns the page, revealing

Jenny as she poses with a school sweater on, and that's all.

The pictorial is titled: "Girls of the South." Forrest looks

up with shock. He cranes his head up for a closer look.

FORREST (V.O.)

Turns out, Jenny had gotten into

some trouble over... some photos of

her in her college sweater. And she

was thrown out of school.

SONG

"My baby does the hanky-panky..."

9:45 p.m.

"The Lehan" is getting hungry now. It is time for "The Lehan's" Dinner.

Voice Over or V.O.

I wonder what is there for me to eat today. I think my mum has stolen my Nai Miris Pizza..

* The following is for humour and entertainment *

* Just as The Lehan was typing away, a wicked, malevolent thought suddenly occurred to The Lehan.

12:30 a.m.

I am feeling sleepy. I took 45 mg of Mirtazapine.

I did 5 minutes on the elliptical machine.

I am watching a conspiracy documentary on Adolf Hitler, regarding his possible escape.

I also find it hard to accept he died as Josef Mengele escaped too-I stopped watching documentary halfway, I do not care.

I have eaten Thai food. I love the chilli paste. I do not remember which restaurant it is from. It is delicious.

I enjoyed some dehydrated or dried apples which Anoja Chandratilleke aunty sent me from Australia.

I finished watching a MasterClass by Annie Lebovitz on photography. She has taken many wonderful photographs: Arnold, DiCaprio and many celebs.

Annie had a man painted nude pose in New York City's famous Times Square -- which she photographed. She loves her conceptual work for Life Magazine more than Rolling Stones--she teaches photography well.

I love her work on Playboy with "Jerry Hall in 1985", I am not interested in Suzanne Somers though.

I do not really care about her MasterClass, it is a 3 out of 10.

I remember there was a Playboy Mansion video game on Xbox magazine which I was excited by as an under 13 child, the nude bunnies had body paint too.

My dad saw this, so he confiscated my Xbox Magazine and teared off all the good stuff before returning it.

I will watch a MasterClass on writing next.
