You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Heather]

When you become so paranoid that every little thing you see out of the corner of your eye. You are convinced you are hallucinating again!:eek::wtf:

When the vibration from your Blackberry initiates your startle response.

You know you have PSTD when you go into the drug store and ask your pharmacist when did she move from another store over here and she said I have been here for 15 years I know you. :confused: Oh boy I went home and stuck my head under a pillow and did not want to come out.

You know you got PTSD/Disconnect going when you realize after hours of working on your stuff you got to pee then go pee and forget to pull your pants down.:banghead::oops:

... you think the session is going to go smoothly and then the rug is pulled out from under you:
... on the way to therapy you have an epiphony which you share with your T and he helps you realize the deeper meaning which terrifies and distresses you and you spend the time working through the real stuff (exhaustingly difficult 45 minutes). You thought the session was going to be easy. Ya right.

When most nights you feel too tired to go to bed.

When you are trying to explain dissociation is different from multiple personality disorder, and you think people with dissociation won't believe you. Yet, you have dissociation yourself from time to time. sigh

When words are not enough anymore. Rage is the only thing you feel. Anger is under control, just waiting to explode.

When you are trying new meds and you feel like a floating cloud of confusion( sleepiness induced).

When you are around people and your body reacts as if "danger" was present...

When you cant distinguish past from present...

When words are not enough anymore.

When you are around people and your body reacts as if "danger" was present...

YES!

When the doctors tell you 20 weeks before you will walk again but you give yourself a week.
