So, creating another fun thread for jokes! This one's for all those random times our ptsd blows something out of proportion over everyday things. Try to make it funny, joke time!
Ptsd logic says...
Sudden loud noise... Quick, jump ten feet in the air! Take a defensive posture! Life threatening situation, ATTACK THE LOUD NOISE! Then stop and wonder wtf you're doing...
Person suddenly enters your line of sight while you're in a bad mood... Quick, rip their head off (figuratively) to prevent them from mentally or physically harming you! Then stop and wonder wtf you're doing, and apologize...
Someone is shaking you to wake you up... You're being attacked, QUICK PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE, SWING AT THEM, BACKHAND THEM, OR THROW SOMETHING AT THEM! And then stop, wonder wtf you're doing, and possibly yell at them because they woke you up... then stop again and apologize.
Someone lights off a firework because the fourth of July is near... GUNSHOT, QUICK LOCK THE DOORS AND SHUT ALL THE BLINDS SO THAT THE IMAGINARY MAN OUTSIDE CAN'T SEE YOU! And then try to calm yourself down and remind yourself that you're safe and people are just celebrating a holiday...
Someone raises their voice at you... Don't take that kind of abuse, yell back at them and be more intimidating!
Someone corners you while yelling... YOU'RE UNDER ATTACK, GRAB ANYTHING NEARBY AND THROW IT AT THEM! And then when they run away, storm off in anger and go calm down.
So many more, but can't remember them off the top of my head, lol. Add more jokes to the list!
