What Does Ptsd Mean To You?

[Shattered]

The idea behind this thread is to replace Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with your own words.

Kayak gave me the idea in chat.

I'll start: Pissy Tired Stuck Damaged

Passive, even apathetic.
Tears, mine- never his. He never cries. When the numbness finally breaks, its rage that rushes out.
Single. I sit alone most nights, while he over-works to ignore the fear, the pain. Sometimes we go for walks, we talk, we hold hands- but we never mention it, never.
Desperate. Sometimes I just want to shake him and make him be that man he used to be. But that won't touch his brain or take away the scars.

My husband has PTSD, but he's still in denial, still pushing it all down. I don't know what it's like, but I know from this side, how lonely, how hard, how painful it is to love someone with PTSD.

By the way- I love this idea of making it more personal, naming what it means to you. Great idea!

Feel free to be funny or ironic as well.

I have used this from almost day one, especially on days when I loose it too.

Pretending to live
Trying to forget
Struggling to survive
Dying to undo the past

Serious mental disorder :confused:

Do not want it :(

I thought pictures could also represent the P S T D too. Hence the smiley faces that i could get on this page to resemble the above words.

Paralyzed
Tired
Scared
