You Know You Have PTSD When...

[oasis2003]

When you stop dissociating and sleeping in one of your good phases and wonder how the day could be so long, then wish you could start dissociating again so you do not have to deal with difficult emotions.

When you forget your plans to die and to live alike because all the attention span you had & focus are distracted by music.

When 'You look terrible, what happened?' is something people regularly greet you with. 'Life and it's nothing' is yours.

 

[LuckyDuck]

You've not been able to hear your partner say "You've said nothing in your sleep last night." since forever.
You wake up in the middle of the night and feel good that it was just hooligans outside that were being noisy harmless drunks.
You can't wait for winter to come so it cane be focken OVER. Damn S.A.D.
Your CD's have been gathering dust but your youtube account has so many new songs OMG THERE'S SO MUCH COOL OUT THERE.
You catch yourself in mid-conversation not knowing what the heck you were talking about but cover for it spectacularly.
Camomile is your new coffee.

When you share something happy about your life, and it makes people depressed & confused. Well, crap. Try again. Nope. That's worse. Okay. Giving up before I get depressed :facepalm:

 

[Friday]

On a related note... When the happy gets met with a :
"Well why can't you ______?"
Um. Not sharing a problem, but I'll bite.
"Because XYZ. So it's really exciting that..."
"Well why can't you ______?"
Blink. Blink.
"ABC, which means XYZ."
"Oh. Right. Well why can't you ______?"
:O_o:
"123, ABC, XYZ??? Right? So anyway it's really exciting that.."
"Well why can't you-"
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Talking. I'm doing it wrong.

:roflmao: My life. (Ok my first reaction was something like Ayyyy, corazon, <hugfeel>)

When not feeling is when you feel the best.

Then you figure it's because nothing is your problem, everything is only a problem of how to remove others from your way, and you're back to trained in fearlessness.

[Ronin]

When... f*cking fireworks. You know it's fireworks. And you know you're not supposed to be out there, doing stuff. And you know you're busy avoiding another pneumonia episode. Nothing of that clicks.

So you wriite. Hey, I have time to write, it means nobody's injured while I'm having my ass covered. ;):banghead:

When your nephew comes to visit with his father his cousin and his girlfriend and you feel like you're weird totally self conscious awkward and out of place in your own home.
