You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Ronin]

When people look at you like you just said you're a sandwich when you casually mention a very normal detail of your life of several years. :bored:

When you decide you really should move back to a war zone, because no weird looks, plenty of coffee & tea & undrinkable water & telling stories :inlove: attached.

(And when you have difficulty explaining to your therapist 'normal life' coming with truly horrific years on end messed you up worse than capital-bad-lands 'trauma' you saw so much shining humanity in. Give me back my darlings and stop the fricking time.)

Ronin, I empathise with that.

My pathetic you know you have ptsd moment is that.... The spamming here unsettled me A LOT. I don’t know or want to know what it's about but I get that some people are in pain and its making me feel unreasonably uncomfortable. I recognise it's none of my business and my guilt/ discomfort/ worry is related to my issues but... I’m putting it out there. Sorry if it makes any one else uncomfortable :(

It's okay, I'm feeling the same way. :hug: But it's nice to see how empathetic you are :)

When you get frightened, way too easily. And instead of just comforting yourself (Like, “Yo, Sideways, it’s ok to get scared, but you’re safe, so bring it in for a hug”), you find a hundred different ways to beat yourself up about it.

I am sad you feel it too, and anyone else.

I hate spam. The internet kind AND the canned "ham" lol

 

[littleoc]

You know you have PTSD if you've ever tried to compare yours with other's -- so that you can say yours wasn't so bad :)

 

[Ronin]

I hate spam.

:hilarious: I was so comforting myself earlier the day over a terrible meat overleft 'at least it isn't spam' and who all would tell me not to whine as happy memories, so this is cracking me up so hard.
