You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Gs172003]

& When you are happy feeling your muscles, no matter what they are doing or not doing what you want them...

Or when you realize your muscles.. All of them... STAY tense. Even your glutes haha. Until you realize you need to relax a little. That lasts about .0096 seconds.

About the catching lying thing. I'm not psychic and will never claim to be. However I have learned their habits. So I know what to watch out for. That is if I care enough to check.

When you finally get up the guts to do something you want to do, but makes you feel vulnerable, and you spend the next day angry at yourself for taking a risk and waiting for some for on consequence.

My muscles don't even relax in sleep. I wake up so sore and stiff in the morning and I don't know how to get myself to relax my muscles when I am sleeping. It's weird. When I am awake my default is freeze mode. When I am asleep, my default is fight mode. My husband is very brave for sleeping next to me (without touching me of course) if I feel even the slight change in my environment when I am asleep to quote my husband, I grow fangs claws and horns, and would make any intruder piss himself.

Why can't I do that during the day?

You're an empath and start to have psychic (not psycho) visions...(I'm serious. People who have had trauma are empaths which makes us sensitive to what and who is around us.

I actually just took a class recently called survival skills for sensitives (empaths)

Have you tried rotating day & night for a few days, Fade? (Say if you have weekends off, trying it then, or the less busy days.)

Discover just how exactly you react in the night, and then slowly replicate it in the day, keep it as you return to an usual schedule?

They have such a thing?

 

[Gs172003]

I looked it up. Interesting.

I wonder if that's why I wake up with a sore neck and back every danged day

Every doctor you see inpatient or out dx you with PTSD within a very short period of time after meeting with you, you have to request a female to do your intake (in my case),

@Cashew I don't have a sleep schedule. sometimes I am able to fall asleep as early as 1 am other times I don't fall asleep until 2 pm. I am all over the board, but it isn't from a lack of trying to have a decent sleep schedule

@Missy meierYou might be able to find one if you look into alternative health/lifestyle stuff like Reiki.
