You Know You Have PTSD When...

when you see accidents in the rear view mirror, but way way way back because you know whats going on back there, you were trying to keep tabs on like 30 other drivers on the freeway
Also like primarily 'staying in the wing mirror' by the number of 'checks' whilst driving because somehow what's behind is that important and there hasn't been any accident at all!
 
When you go to put a laugh emoji on something and realize all the other emoji reactions are all hugs and sad faces..... and you can't figure out for the life of you why it's not funny to other people, or you can't wrap your head around why it's sad or hug-worthy...

When you realize this means your reactions to everything are probably off-normal 😬
 
you find yourself zoning out while doing a mundane task and when you realize you have been out to lunch for a while you try to retrace how you got yourself into the spiral and determine just how much time was wasted thinking about things you know just lead to worse thoughts and then another half hour later you realize you got started again and try to retrace your thoughts, you know what I am talking about, it's PTSD and it sucks to be a problem solver when you are the problem.
