You Know You Have PTSD When...

I feel like the one thing we all share in common is our twisted sense of humor over how ridiculous things are these days.

For you Lolarama, my favourite quote:

You have to hit re-play in your head when you look at the serving spoon on the counter and the large pile of cottage cheese at the bottom of the sink. So- took cheese out, scooped it directly into sink, put SPOON on counter to eat and cheese in sink to wash up. Maybe if I'd gotten a dam bowl out also none of this would have happened.

... when you try to go to sleep at night and you attempt to recall the day, but you cannot remember anything because you have spent the day zoning in and out of flashbacks and dissociation. Then you realize you will face a night of nightmares. So you dissociate again...

An hour feels like a day, and a day feels like a week.

Or an hour feels like a minute, and a week feels like a day.

You look at the clock it says 7 and your not sure if its am or pm

So true. Also not sure if it's a weekday or the weekend, summer or winter, or what age you are.

Good for you for bravely telling him, (((((CraftyCath))))!!!

I thought he knew that when I chewed on my thumb nail it was a sure sign that little me had come out to play. He knows I go little so I assumed he'd know this too - I was so wrong, he didn't know at all!! I wasn't being brave BW I wouldn't have told him if I thought he didn't already know!:eek: Doh! :roflmao:

You know you have PTSD when you realize that in over 35yrs of therapy you failed to mention most of the time you really never quite showed up during the session mentally .....

."how are you today?" should have been "where are you today?"...

.answer: "Nowhere near here!"

Can you say..:"I'd like a refund?"

You know have PTSD when your fidgeting is just fine but when someone else does it ..it is just plain irritating :mad:!!!

You know have PTSD when wearing sunglasses while addressing the dr seems normal until your paranoia kicks in over the anxiety with thoughts he might think you are an addict so the 2 sides start fighting each other anxiety vs paranoia...paranoia wins so the glasses come off then Body Dysmophia Disorder kicks in on how BAD you look so maybe it's worth putting them back on so I can stop worrying about that and listen ...all the while trying to follow what the hell he is saying and why is that dam light so bright!! Put the glasses on and pay attention so the light doesn't blind me and try to 'act' like a human being. Wait where is he going???
Can we do this again??? :speechless: Crap....
