crystal : pearl ; a mental health headcanon
➤
david has posttraumatic stress disorder , it began as
a child after jasper’s death . hearing that his friend had
passed away caused him to wonder if it was his fault
that he was no longer breathing . if he had been able
to grab jasper’s hand and preventing him from falling ;
they would never have been faced with the bear .
he is older but the stress of losing someone close to him
has never went away ; he fears that he will not be able to
save a camper from death . with chucky , his stress only
became worse , though relieved that he was still alive but
severely disabled ; it struck fear in him . he may seem like
happy and problem-free counselor , but if he shares anything
with gwen , it’s the stress of the job . he doesn’t want anyone
else to die , especially under his care . he still has nightmares
about jasper and sometimes at night , you can see him sitting
at the lake ; looking out at spooky island and whispering apologies .
crystal : moss agate ; if my muse has a high or low opinion of themself
➤ david has a medium opinion on himself . he believes he is a good
person and a well counselor , however , without an award for best
counselor of the year , he still sees room for improvement . other
than that , he is trying to prove himself to the campers that there is
more to him than camping and smiles . he is a human being . he
cries and gets angry like everyone else but it’s hard for him to show
any of those emotions to them , which he doesn’t like about himself .
he could go on about everything bad about himself but why do that ?
overall , he thinks high and low of himself but he has a lot of work to do .
