You Know You Have PTSD When...

[HëllaBubz]

Oh Yeah, totally get you on that one ShellBell, mine has even started to mandate that every few months I take a full fortnight off work to rest and recuperate.

Damn bloke is too smart for his own good.

When your husband has to take a week off work to while you hopefully stabilize on stronger meds.

AWwww, ain't that nice though that he does....:inlove:

I know what you mean, no-one wants to go out with a thicky but then you pick one that can see you coming a mile off! GGgggrrrr, so infruriating. :watching: :mad::rolleyes:

When an actual life and death situation is dealt with calmly, matter of factly and quite effectively, but picking up the children from school, or going to the supermarket causes panic attacks

When socializing makes your hands shake.

When you just can't pee.

When people stop talking to you when they find out how many problems you have.

I thought this was just me!

And your head go fuzzy and your stomach clench...

When you realize that it is not generally considered socially acceptable to answer the door with a loaded .45 in your other hand...so sometimes you just don't answer it.

When you never answer your phone or you take forever to reply to a text if you reply at all. I personally get anxiety sometimes thinking about my damn cellphone ringing and I turn it off completely so that if anyone calls it goes immediately to voice-mail and I don't look like I was screening my calls.

Also It seems like my perception of time is completely screwed up, I can not talk to or not see someone for long periods of time and when I finally do I feel like I just spoke with them a few days ago. Anyone else have the time thing? Maybe I am just weird. :cautious:

You know you have PTSD when lawyer start using the fact you know medical terminologically against you..

Mine too. Time seems to get away from me sometimes. I can't believe it is almost December...

Flipping heck Ivories!!! I live on the first floor with a buzzer entrance, it wasn't a conscious choice when I moved but when I come to think of it....:) Take it easy on the postman!! :giggle::hug:
