I have a strong inner knowing that sugar isn't good for me. It increases my tension and tiredness when I am already tense and tired. It's an avoidance of the real need to connect and listen compassionately to myself.

That's how it affects my PTSD disorder. I don't mind other people enjoying sugar at all. I do get peeved at Xmas when people feel the need to force chocolates at me even when I've said that I don't like them, lol.

For me, it's like getting regular sleep. I have PTSD and the only way to cope with that is to observe what helps and what hinders my physiological stability.

I did have a small piece of cake today, but then I looked at all the sweets in the shop, took out a packet, and then decided that they wouldn't make me feel better.

I'm addicted to coffee but I'm not tempted to give that up because it's PTSD neutral.
