You Know You Have PTSD When...

--(for ladies only) you spend half an hour convincing yourself that you really can't just sit in the bathroom for the duration, you really do need to go to the store for those "feminine hygiene products".

I LOVE that you just wrote this. I'm experiencing this debate in my head right now. I do need to get to the store.

You know you have PTSD when..........

You are more knowledgeable about they types and side effects of anti-d's than the pharmacy tech is.

You have been threatened to have your butt kicked for staring at someone for who knows how long. You weren't really staring at them, but just in "another place".

I'm glad you figured out how to quote. When I first joined I was quoting entire posts every time. It must have been so annoying. Took me awhile to put 2 and 2 together. Link Removed

Was threatened for that more than once... Then they figured it out I was ASLEEP when I didnt flinch or speak back. Freaked them completely out!

Ditto, but when they get your attention they suddenly realise they don't want it. Lol

You know you have PTSD when you leave your home without running a brush/comb through your hair, only to see everyones eyes that you meet go to the top of your head!

You know you have PTSD when your self care takes 3 hours, but you only give yourself 30 minutes to get showered, changed, hair and make up done to go out and "greet the day".

 

[deer_in_headlights]

You know you have PTSD when you can't do any of the above and hope tomorrow will be a better day to greet.

Hey it took me a long time before I could do that.
