You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Friday]

When the place I want to be most, is also what hurts the most.

 

[Friday]

... & like pain is new? Pfft. Alright. Let's shoulder it.

 

[Friday]

When you hear drums in the distance, and need to verify that others hear them, too. :rolleyes:

 

[Friday]

When "I'm sorry. I can't even think about that right now." ... Is meant literally.

((Not I'm too busy to think about, or don't have the time, or too many things on my mind, or don't know enough, or any other kind of euphemism or polite brush off. Literally cannot think about it. And am apologizing. I could try. I might be trying. And failing.))

You know you have PTSD when. . .

1.You walk into a room, people look your way, and you're sure they were talking about you.
2.A guy looks your way and instead of feeling flattered you think, WTF are you liking at! ?
3.You are home and you have all windows and doors locked down like Fort Knox!
4. You go into your closet and it's organized, color coded, short sleeved long sleeved etc, Better than any high end department store. After all you must control what you can!

These are just a few of my many quirks I thought I'd share. Enjoy. :roflmao:

Can so relate

When people trying to help pisses you the hell off.

Twice.

Once because they don't f*cking get it and are making shit 10x 1000x just f*cking stop making shit harder, and twice because in theory I shouldn't be angry because I know they're trying to help. Like throwing gasoline on a fire, kind of "help" but meant well. No matter how. many. times. I. have. told. them. what. they. are. doing. is. not. helpful.

When if next you see me I'm wearing a patch, because my eyeball has exploded.

When someone being understanding when you are not yourself feels so damned dangerous you literally run away from them.

 

[Fadeaway]

When you are hurting and want someone to just hold you, but you don't want anyone near you at the same time.

You decide to work on a trigger only to see it is faster working on you.

(Insert contemplative grin. I'll wait this thing out. As every enemy of importance.)

You'd rather have everyone think you're stone cold (maybe even a bitch) than have them think of you as to emotional or weak for showing your feelings!
