About That Jack

I’m just a guy trying to make it in New York City while living with CPTSD.

Some days, I’m doing alright. Other days, it feels like the city’s trying to eat me alive. It’s all caffeine and chaos, no pause button, no volume control. The crowds, the noise, the pressure… it messes with my head more than I like to admit.

But I’m still here. Still showing up. Still figuring it out.

So, how did this site come about?

Well, I needed a space to be real.

More specifically, I needed a place to show what it‘s really like living with trauma, the highs and lows, and all the messy in-between. There are cringeworthy moments, small victories, and days that completely knock me for six. Still, I try to keep it honest. At times, that means getting a little messy, and when I can, I throw in a bit of humor too.

Because let’s face it: healing isn’t some straightforward path. It’s weird, it’s bumpy, and frankly, it’s way more confusing than most people let on. But in the end, that’s the ride, and I’m still on it.

And somehow, you‘re here. Hello.

Maybe you‘re on this journey as well. Or maybe you just want to get an idea of what it‘s like to live with something like CPTSD. Either way, I‘m happy you stopped by. Be sure to grab a drink, get comfortable, and hang around for a while. I‘ll be here.

Let’s connect, reflect, and keep it real together.

If you’re looking for:

• Emotional support and validation,
• A relatable narrative journey,
• Honesty with a dose of humor,

…this site delivers.
