You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Sethe]

You can't leave the house out of fear.

 

[Nighthawk]

When your zipper is down for hours and only realize it when you get ready for bed. Thankfully my top was long and all my clothes were plack. Now I wonder did the others see and not say anything glad I don't have to show face for months.

When you do your resume and get triggered because the amnesia walls all slam against one another...

When you spend an entire day looking out your second floor window at the people walking on the street and consider it a good day of interaction.

:laugh::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: And then you hear some man with a VERY creepy voice whispering in your ear "ollie, ollie oxen free" only to realise there's NO man, it's coming from inside your head:eek:

I know you didn't mean it but that a bit triggering for me

Sorry shadowchaser - I was talking from my own experience of what happened to me......I hope you can forgive me!

I edited the post....I would never try to deliberately trigger anyone. Really sorry

 

[shadowchaser]

I'm not upset at you. as I already said I know you didn't mean to.

You know you have Ptsd when you think you see your name mentioned and your first thought is " Oh no what have I done now"

You know you have PTSD...

• When you say to yourself, "I slept last night, I don't need to sleep tonight."
• After hours of obsessively thinking and biting your nails down to the quick, you say to yourself, "You know, maybe my obsessive thinking is actually an asset to me. I wonder if my therapist is awake yet so that I can tell her/him that"
• When you frequently say things like "you know" when addressing yourself and when talking to inanimate objects, you say "we".
• When you see a little spider on the wall and decide to let it live because it's nice to have someone in the house to talk to.

All your "new friends" keep unnecessarily apologizing to you the next day for nodding off at 3:00 am because "They" can't fall asleep unless they take there meds and still need someone to chat with till exhaustion sets in........ And then you realize you never say "good night" to anyone as there is no reason to when you see the sunrise every morning alone.......

When you are convinced you are depressed and you think it is a PTSD symptom, but this time it is a normal response to leaving friends.

I think I'm becoming normal :roflmao:
