Analogy: My Ptsd Feels Like...

[Sazza]

Like an existence, that ocean that I'm swimming I'm getting nowhere the tides are holding me back, they are stopping me getting to the other side not sure il ever get to see what waiting on the other side that involves peace and happiness.

 

[Sethe]

Erosive. Though it's not as bad today. Some days, it feels as if I have no skin at all.

 

[KP the nut]

I'm numb, tired but continuing to put one foot in fromt of the other, I WILL NOT GIVE IN

 

[Emilie]

A child, locked in a room with a ravenous flesh eating monster. A group of people are observing and doing nothing, When I scream for help my voice is gibberish. I wonder why the people are not doing anything to help, and then I wonder if it's because I am not speaking in a language.

 

[Tinyflame]

Like a shaken champagne bottle with an unremovable cork.

My PTSD feels like I am losing control of my body including my bladder :eek::(

My PTSD seems like it should be called Post-traumatic Surprise Disorder. There's always a surprise around every corner.

 

[Tinyflame]

Yes seedling, but frequently not 'good' ones- :eek:!
;)

 

[Queen Boudica]

Alone so alone. Like I will always be alone. I try to be something, desperatly trying to be something, but really I'm just nothing, just alone in my head that does not make sense.

 

[KP the nut]

Alone so alone. .

((HUGS)), never alone with the forum here.

It used to feel as if I am walking on a very very thin layer of ice, anxious knowing that it would break with the slightest wrong foot put forward. Which often happened and made me rage. When raging, I felt like screaming for help while drowning in ice cold water yet there's nobody to listen.

Now it feels like I am just floating ,frozen, around in a deep navy icy ocean, so cold that all my senses are numb.

My PTSD feels like the lifelong school of hard knocks. I've lived with it for so long, for ever. It feels like a world class challenge. And some days I am more up for dealing with it, than others.
