You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Deleted member 37085]

I keep forgetting how badly nonverbal younger me was & that speech was a skillset to learn.

So relate @Ronin...me too..was such a small very young little, little girl-child when the abuse started and I couldn't stop it from happening in my little girl body and mind; I too was only a little girl.:cry:

After visiting the fitness center yesterday and narcs attempted to infect me with their "narc virus" I feel like a reboot (reset) is in f*cking order.

When you see a previously thriving plant you had moved to protect it from the hot sun and realize you had forgotten you placed it there temporarily and had forgotten it was there. All I can say is that I am glad I live alone and do not have small children right now. This is so unlike me. But it is normal for the symptoms.:oops::confused::eek::rolleyes:

When my isolation is for my protection as well as...others.

When last weekend you did an amazing amount of housework and errands and this weekend you're terrified to walk out the door or to move much at all.

When you have a bad conscience about sleeping well and a bit longer than usual.

When you having a bad conscience about that is a sign of healing, a bit.

(TLDR responsibility. Checking on others, instead of feeling sorry for my ass.)

Second guessing yourself and doubting yourself, then you realize that you are being to hard on yourself, time for a step back to reframe things.

When you know you need headphones to contend with the noises and sounds of the house the family and the tv because, you're very sensitive to noises.

When the damn dog and her damn incessant barking not only irritates you it makes you angry enough that you almost become enraged.

When you are shocked about invitations to social interactions.

When you're so sleep deprived it takes you 4 hours to notice you're not wearing your glasses.
