Post-triggered stress disorder (P{T}SD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying post -- either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Many people who go through triggered events have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while, but they don't have P{T}SD -- with time and good self-care, they usually get better. But if the symptoms get worse or last for months or even years and interfere with your functioning, you may have P{T}SD.
Getting effective treatment after P{T}SD symptoms develop can be critical to reduce symptoms and improve function.

An individual suffering from CHD will respond to a wrong, or a perceived wrong, as a lethal threat to their personal well being and will begin a process of incrementally exaggerating the magnitude of the personal affront, or perceived personal affront, until they can justify to themselves the death of the object of their hatred. While it is true that people suffering from CHD rarely go through with the killing, they are prone to repeatedly try to encourage others to hate the individual in question to the same degree as them, and hopefully respond with a physical manifestation of that hatred.
Individual X's CHD (Compulsive Hatred Disorder) prevented her from holding down a regular job. Once she achieved employment she would make efforts to socialize. Invariably as a result of that socializing, something would be said that would rub her the wrong way. The emotional injury would then be left to fester until the only solution was to exaggerate its severity and come to the conclusion that the affront-causing speaker needed to be eradicated from the workplace or indeed from the world itself. She would then proceed to poison the work environment by trying to get other employees to agree with her.

Generally this presents as reloading before and after every encounter in a game even if only 1 or 2 shots were fired and the clip has 60 rounds. A gamer with the disorder will experience the distracting need to reload if they know their clip isn't full, similar to an itch or a nervous tic of other OCDs.
In its worse presentations, OCRD will leave a player absent-mindedly reloading before the action has finished, perhaps after killing one or a few enemies while more are still shooting at the player. This leaves the player useless and vulnerable for upwards of 5 to 10 seconds.

Gamer: "Ah man. I have OCRD (Obsessive Compulsive Reloading Disorder) bad! I keep having to reload needlessly in the middle of action and getting raped because of it. It's ruining everything and I just can't stop myself."
Gamer's friend: "Oh yea man, we've all had that. Sucks to be you, I guess."
