Analogy: My Ptsd Feels Like...

[Abrasky]

I feel like I am at the bottom of a well trying to find different ways up on precaurius grips of freedom and just before I reach the top I feel like lose my grip and fall to the bottom again.

I also have that feeling Shelley feel like I am dead, but my body doesn't know it yet. I also feel like my spirit has jumped out of my body in my trauma and my spirit is somewhere else.

I found one of my parts of my spirit, she was in a hammock swinging on a beach on an island somewhere just waiting. And I had been worried about her for no reason because she was in this hammock in the sunshine:p

Like my imaginary enemy.

Sometimes I feel like a mad cat tied in a bag and thrown in the river!

My PTSD feels like I am a cute soft toy and someone has ripped all the stuffing out of me

Simultaneously having a fire alarm going off inside of my body and being punched in the face, while trapped inside a metal box.

Wow. There are a few comments here that mention feeling like you're dead- and I thought it was just me.

 

[Teddy]

I feel numb, like nothing matters any more. Like I just don't have to worry as I don't care. Every thing is buggared up and I just can't feel it at all. Well only when I am so dizzy I am about to faint, throw up or colapse. Anyway I still don't care. Not even if I died tomorrow.
They tell me this is what total disconnection does to you but it is a bit more peaceful than complete connection.

Sometimes it's like my emotions are being controlled by aliens.

My PTSD feels like I'm the biggest waste of space on this planet.

...a Theatre of the Damned, with me casting different twisted people to endlessly re-enact the same absurd scenes in my life....with the most bizarre kind of cruel laugh track overlaid upon the most hurtful parts....

My wife took me to see a new Puppy today. Why is it the only time I can have genuine emotion is when I am with my K-9 companions?

My ptsd feels like I am going crazy
