You Know You Have PTSD When...

[ladee]

When physical pain and emotional upset collide and Ice Cream and Chocolate are the solutions!!

 

[ChildofGod]

When your hygiene becomes affected, at least for me.

 

[Keming]

when a 20 minute routine walk becomes an hour of motionless blind panic.

Short lining things for a friend asking about the last few weeks leaves them saying, I'm sick just hearing of it

:rolleyes: Right. Still not managing with normalizing enough, for others.

On another hand, your take on the situation is I'm finally doing better :smug:
Weirdness, I got. It's normal that's f*cking up.

When you find yourself reading the info on a mouthwash bottle that says:
"bad breath control"
and your genuine first thought is huh, they should probably just see a respiratory physio.

When, despite seeing your T in her office four something like 4 years, you have no idea there is a box of tissues right by your chair until she points it out to you- because looking at it would mean looking in her direction.

 

[ChildofGod]

When you have the world's worst Groundhog day on repeat. For a year.

 

[Teasel]

For a year.

Or 20 ;)

 

[Keming]

When crying alone in the rain is a pretty good start for what might be a pretty good day.

 

[ChildofGod]

Speaking for myself, when you start to feel peace instead of fear when you remember or realize something new. You feel comfort in the knowledge instead, at least for me.

 

[ChildofGod]

Or 20 ;)

I'm sorry, Belinda. The year felt like an eternity for me. That's so long, I can't even fathom. I hope that things are going in a positive direction now.

 

[Teasel]

They are, thanks @Zencat :)
