You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Warrior Chicken]

When you have to ‘get right’ to drive your car home and you haven’t even had a drink. You just finished a therapy session.

Lemme tell you how much I looooooved 5 hour train rides home. OMFG. But time the train pulled into my stop? I actually felt normal. <sneaky> Especially if I got my cab ride TO the train to detour by way of a VooDoo Donuts. Whoomph! Sugar for the shock, and then adrenaline crash on a gently rocking Amtrak may be some of my fave almost-sleep. By the end of the ride I felt like I was coming home from a massage instead of local appts where I feel like I’m coming home from being electrocuted and drowned.

You are simultaneously making plans for the future and your death.

You avoid something hard by choosing something just as hard.

You pay to go to a place and talk about things (therapy) only you spend more of your time silent.

You always answer your T's "So how are you doing?" with "It's been weird......"

Fine = FUBAR
Alright = Not thinkin about it
Great = No one’s dead, yet.

Your anxiety of leaving home balances with your excitement of taking a vacation........

When the phrase “grandiose plans” gets attached to things like ‘touching up my roots’ or ‘making soup’… because, quite frankly, drying my hair, or microwaving soup are both beyond me.

When you text a friend “I feel like talking” then she calls you to talk, and you say, well my text was talking so I’m all talked out now.
