You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Loloma]

When you forget every appointment you have. Even though they are in your diary, you have them on a business card and on your mobile.

Finally the ones you do remember you either, turn up late or ring and make an excuse not to attend. Only to re-book and do it all again.

When PE in school freaks you out because you have to change around other people.

When you procrastinate doing the worst thing, by doing all the other scary things first, because this is your shot to get them done!

 

[Friday]

Shit. What month is it?

When you loved to write once, but are scared now - because you feel like you might loose control as soon as you get in the writing-flow.

When someone tells you, you should write a book about your life, but you don't want to do so. The book would make no sense without your traumas and to face them again to write about them, and have the whole mess exposed to the public, would be too much for you. Sure, it might be great reading for everyone who read it, but it could send you to an early grave to write it!

When your life's story is a cross between a horror movie and a soap opera....:eek:

When you feel so good one day that you make all these social plans for the next month and then cancel them all because you only felt like it that one day.

When your triggers have triggers...and think they are your personal roller-coaster entertainment center!

When you find out that your sister is taking a college course about PTSD so that she can understand herself, her daughter and you better. Is this thing hereditary? ;)

 

[Friday]

When happiness makes despair unbearable

 

[StarChild]

Shit. What month is it?

Um...1984?
