You Know You Have PTSD When...
- Thread starter ghost
- Start date
- your idea of going out for coffee is heading through the drive through.
-shopping trips are more like torture sessions where you plan ahead to try to survive.
-all freinds and family (which are so few) have a special language used only for you.
-anyone trying to wake you up does so with a big stick and runs like hell.
-you consider good human contact as having an object between you and them and they can't get near you.
- your house is locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

- it isn't a question of whether or not you have a weapon nearby, it's how many and what kind.

You have can opener in one hand and a can in the other. But have no idea how to connect the two together, or even what the connection between the two is sometimes.
I once watched my hubby struggle with this, but did not dare try to explain at the time.

Hee! Not long ago I had to get rid of a perfectly good can-opener because the daily struggle with it was just becoming ridiculous.
I have one.
You know you have PTSD when you buy 10 of everything so you can always find at least one.
That's true, too! The daily confusion/frustration/anxiety/self-loathing of missing items is too exhausting. I cope by buying ( seriously) like 10 hairbrushes, house keys, scissors, pens, rulers, hairspray- anything that is going to dissolve into thin air and ruin a good part of the day.
I hope someone puts all these posts together. It's a very cool thread to point new members too because it's completely serious with a lot of information but also lets us laugh a little.Nice in a day when the hair brush has dissolved again.
Thanks all who have added to this!

Apocalypse Now was my favourite feel good movie.
...when Radiohead cheers you up and you can't figure out why others say Thom Yorke is so sad.

:rofl:OMG! Keep'em coming! I'm splitting a gut laughing as I see myself in so many of these!
When you take the laundry out of the dryer, throw it in a basket, go to pee and when you come back you stick the same load back in the washer.
When you are trying to drive out of town and you keep getting confused and ending up back at home.
When you try to tune the radio you hear in your head,
