(CBrief) – Former President Donald Trump actually did break comedian Kathy Griffin.
The comedian took to TikTok to announce that she is suffering from a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder that started, coincidentally, around the time she posed for a photo with a mock severed head of the former president.
“This is going to sound, whatever, you can laugh or whatever, but I’ve been diagnosed with complex PTSD,” the comedian said.
“They call it an extreme case,” she said. “Never talked about this publicly. I have lots of tools.
“But it is extremely intense. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life.
“If you’re someone who also deals with this, I am sending you lots and lots of love,” the comedian said.
“If any of you know my story, you’ll understand that this really started for me about five and a half years ago. Wink,” she said, an apparent reference to the Trump photo incident.
“You know, the cancer didn’t help,” she said, referring to her lung cancer diagnosis from which she has recovered. “Today, I felt like one might be coming on.
“So, I’m on my walk now, and I’m outside and looking at the ocean, which is helpful,” the comedian said.
“And I’m sort of almost like mid-anxiety attack right now,” she said. “It feels good to be walking my way through it. I just keep telling myself it won’t last forever.”

EOnline reported:
Moving forward, she’s planning to get professional help by trying eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, she said in the comments.
Per the Cleveland Clinic, “This method involves moving your eyes a specific way while you process traumatic memories. EMDR’s goal is to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.”
But in the meantime, Griffin said one big remedy is her four dogs, telling one user, “They are my healers.”
PTSD, depression and anxiety are serious conditions and we pray for healing for Griffin.
The comedian is no stranger to controversy as she had a run-in with Twitter CEO Elon Musk in November.
After suspending her the CEO gave Griffin a way to get her account back if she wants it after being banned for impersonating him, in violation of the platform’s rules.
Initially, in response to Griffin’s ban, Musk jokingly referred to her ‘offense’ being that she actually was “impersonating a comedian,” but then he added she could have her account back — if she paid the new $8 Twitter Blue monthly fee to be verified.
