You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Stacie]

I woke up feeling pretty tired and bummed today and reluctantly decided to go online, but I am glad this was the first thing I clicked on.

Hysterical, just really, really funny, and now I feel good enough to go out and do my errands.

Thanks you guys!

..when you always feel like an outsider, but someone tells you that you are the one who makes people around you feel like outsiders:unsure:

When anytime you are going to or from your car, anywhere, you hold your keys as a weapon until you get inside the car or building. The pointy end of the big car key sticking out, firmly wedged between middle and ring finger. And this has become second nature.

When you go out in public you are watching everyone around you so intently for signs of a threat that they start acting suspicious of you.

You feel certain that every man who walks by or looks at you is thinking about hurting you.

When anyone walks by, or you have to walk by someone else you have to go out of your way to walk well out of their reach, and you quicken your pace as you go, the whole time bracing for the attack.

I so could have written every word of this post!!! Hee

*When all day all you could think about was relaxing in the bathtub and enjoying a glass of wine, then you start reading this and consider bringing the computer with you so you can keep reading.

*When you just keep reading and agree with every single thing you have read.

*When the maitnence man comes to fix the broken item you asked to be fixed and you get home and there is a note that he has fixed and it you get mad that he is intruding in your personal space because he didn't call first.

*when you are the only one in the history of your huge apartment complex to get locked out on your balcony (not to mention you where wearing your bathrobe!)

*When you send the link to this to your boyfriend even though you are pissed at him and swore you would never send him another link just to prove it is not just you.

*when that $80 Amazon prime membership was worth every dime because you never have to go to a store for anything!

* when you wake up and relize you only woke up once during the night and are so proud of yourself

*when eating pez in the middle of the night when you wake up makes you proud because you ate something

*When you have moved 4 times in 2 years because all the apartments where unexceptable

*When you send an e-mail to ask any question because then you don't have to talk to anyone

*When you flip out because some one tried to close to closet door, because you know that if the door is closed the next day when you get home from work someone or something will be hiding in there!

* when you almosty never talk to anyone if it is not via text or e-mail and still feel like they are belittiling(sp?) you

You are scared to come out of the closet, and you are not even gay!

What a great source of laughter. Now let me start counting how many relate to me.

You know you have PTSD when.
If someone wakes you, you wake up smacking them.

this posting is so funny to the point i all most peed my paints.

I was sleeping on a bench at the hospital 1 1/2 hour early for my doctors appointment. 3 security guards woke me up, lets say it was not a good moment for any one involved LOL

I got arrested oops, it took all 3 to get me to the ground and hand cuffed. Funny thing i was not resiting them. Thank God im this far into my recovery that i didn't kill one of them with my bare hands.

Glad i can laugh now

You know you have PTSD when....

You don't even want to have sex with your self.

When a pretty lady ask you for your phone number, and replie with may be, but first i need 3 refernces, and you will need to fill out a questioner.

You know you have PTSD when you repress memories all day... but they pop up at night and you're doing all the work you avoided that day subconsciouslly in your sleep.
