You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Justmehere]

When you start shivering with fever just by walking into a building. Because trigger.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

When you had plans that you knew for sure you were really going to enjoy, but you still feel an overwhelming sense of relief when they get cancelled and rescheduled. lol Now, to redirect the flow and figure out which way to go.

When your actual crisis is the people sharing your understanding of crisis have been so often evil pricks

OMFG. Right? :banghead:

I have to remind myself that used to be, everyone understood. Normalizing as hell. But I sure as hell didn’t like everyone, in that everyone, and only loved the snot out of a few. So, now? The everyone is scattered, and the evils pricks? Just happen to be the easiest to find. :shifty:

You know you have PTSD when...

1. ...you have more emergency helpline numbers in your phonebook than f...

#6 !!!!! Makes me feel juevenile...”...’s looking at me!” Really, is it too much to ask for people to just not notice I’m there and pretend not to see me in the corner trying to blend in with the wall?

Your friend asks you when you last went in a supermarket and it’s so difficult to remember when that felt safe you start giggling instead .

She said ‘ so do they deliver to you? ‘

My partner does it at weekends and we have a lot fewer weird things lurking at the back of the cupboards waiting for ‘one day’

Being given heartfelt compliments, and you start backing up... saying UH NO, I'm JUST LADEE !! Think I'm gonna have to change my username to that JustLadee !!!! :bag::laugh:

I like the Justs & Simplys & such named people round the most, Just @ladee :)

... When speaking is an effort, because thinking words and emotions is. (Not a weakness, an alert system), and other bright things you learned about emotions are a slide by this glass between you and the world thing.

You know you have PTSD... when a pair of socks lasts you about 5 minutes before they get sweaty enough you take them off.

I wish sweating wasn't a f*cking anxiety reaction >.<

I found a Yonanas machine at a thrift shop

I have a Ninja blender and last night I made smoothies that were just like soft serve strawberry frozen yogurt. OMG! They were so good! I think the secret is to blend the frozen berries up first, then add yogurt.

You know you have PTSD when you are excited for a trip to visit relatives, and every time, without fail, you accidentally hurt yourself. Every time. This time it's a severely sprained ankle. Last time I dropped a 40 lb filing cabinet on my foot. I could go on and on.
