You Know You Have PTSD When...

[goingonhope]

When you spend hours searching within the details of old family photos to find some means of validation through revisiting that one unique weapon once used upon you.

 

[Ronin]

When 'family' of any sort is a curseword, and you replace it with 'pack I can say f*ck all of that shit & f*ck off with'.

Ha. Teammates, I get. Families are a mess.

When being rejected turns immediately in being "worthless" - even if the other person has reasons and you also understand them. :banghead:

 

[Ronin]

When your next automatic thought is 'Ok, what does that rejection give me, as more space & time, and what am I doing with that'.

Then you try to not think of why you think that way. :banghead:

 

[Ronin]

When... Just someone shoot me.

... Don't even think of it I'd fight you.

when you have a no drinking contract with your therapist and your family is going away without you (staying home voluntarily) and you wonder what she will ask you to do or sign since they are leaving on day of second anniversary of your closest suicide attempt.

You know you have PTSD when you're posting on a thread "You Know You Have PTSD When..."

 

[Anrish]

When your T asks you about your social contacts in daily life and you cannot tell her any. And when she asks "Bakery?" and you answer "Do it all by myself"...and she looks really desperated...

I love desperated - I know exactly what my Ts desperated look is like.

 

[Ronin]

When you feel accomplished your social life with bakeries though is as usual good. As in: where else do I hide than in places opening in ungodly wee hours? :D

Yea like when you see a new p-doc. After reviewing case, asking if you have a father or brother to go stay with for awhile.

You reply - you mean the person who did this me? Then desperate look, or I call it very sad look.

 

[Anrish]

I meant desperated because she was asking for chances where I could get into social interactions.
