When you're smilimg and in a pretty good mood and somene comes to talk to you and for some reason you're not happy about it. You let it go but, you can tell your mood isn't as good anymore. And then the person comes back with paperwork you never asked about. And they say they'll keep it for you since "You lose things. Right?". And you just don't respond. But, you notice your mood has definitely changed. You're wanting to isolate and you can't figure out why. And after a few minutes of reflecting you realize you weren't crazy about the person interrupting you at first and you really didn't like their comment about you losing stuff. Even if it's true it felt like they were taking a shot at you.

When you go to your trauma diary write a few things feel guilty about what you've written and then delete the whole thing and don't post anything.

When you meet with people from MyPtsd and it doesn't stress you like meeting "normal" people. :p

You know you have PTSD when:

People tell you to relax and you thought you were.

You constantly tell yourself I will not start my sentence with an apology, immediately walk up to someone and say, "I'm sorry to bother you but..."

You think the reason someone closed their office door is because of something you've done or they are going to talk about you.

You apologize/take responsibility for something that had nothing to do with you.

The more you are told not to worry about something, the more it makes you worry.

When you had an emotionally exhausting day because of tons of memories and emotions coming up. Your boyfriend comes home finding you in tears. To comfort you he says that he loves you and that you are the most beautiful creation that ever existed on the face of the earth. And all you feel as a response to the comfort and showed affection is: they never looooooooooooooved me!!!! Having to isolate i verwhelmed by the pain.

& When one of your problems is taking responsibility for everything, & the slightest thing wrong turns into Disaster. Kaboom. Everything On Fire. in your head.

As in FFS give me the actual issues. Or not. Freeze response rediscovered, as of past December. Not that I ever wanted to be back to that one.

& When: I'm not posting it / DeleteDelete, Too much talking. :banghead:

You know you have PTSD when you read other members posts and simultaneously understand and don't understand every word.

You know you have PTSD if you think I mean your posts.

if you think I mean your posts.

That may be just personalization & we're back to the cognitive dist---

... You have PTSD when you're happy you remember what you learned about cognitive distortions off a PTSD site. :facepalm:

When you have a dream that you are pregnant... and it f*cks up your whole day... 66 yrs old, abstinent......

Don't freak out!!
Dreaming about being pregnant is actually a good thing. It can mean you are growing in your personal life. A new beginning or idea.
