You Know You Have PTSD When...

[kimbleina]

When the chest tremors start.

Does anyone else have that? I can't stand it, so embarrassing, and I have to pretend I have hiccups, and why do I even leave my home?

When you realize you only see in 3D when you’re drunk...

:hilarious:

When you have similar issues with migraine aura and assorted neuro nonsense and being doped.

As in f*ck me, did I again dissociate something, in which case does not rate stopping for it now as not safe, flashbacking to something, as in does not rate stopping for it is past bs, or it is yet to come, as in will not stop now while I still can move. :facepalm:

... and altogether: Dear, shouldn’t you be resting???, is met up with no. Totally fine. Because logic above.

You spend the whole damn day listening to thundering ocean waves through headphones and jump at the sound of anything else.

 

[Rani G2]

When you wipe off that eye crust to find that, linear time perception is real.

 

[ChildofGod]

There is still rage and anger to process, to digest.

 

[Hopefulphoenix]

You are exhausted from trying to regulate mood swings all day.. and instead of getting a glass of orange juice, you pour a cereal bowl full! ??

 

[ladee]

I do stuff like this all the time @Hopefulphoenix ,but would never tell anyone in real life. Will only share it here. You are not alone... :roflmao:

 

[BlueWeepingRose]

When you get suspicious of people. You have a hard time trusting people or letting anyone in because your afraid of getting abused again. But I know this can be worked out.

 

[Ronin]

When some are about dead to you, & not because you don’t care... But because you still care too much, & need to not bring that to their life.

& When C’mon, I get people are too difficult, don’t you wanna talk animal rescue in that area instead... is all the relief you need. Right. Tasks are animal names in local :happy:, not how to accidentally threaten someone with a wrong accent. :shifty:

not how to accidentally threaten someone with a wrong accent. :shifty:

I shouldn’t... I know... but I just about fell over laughing when I read this.

It’s funny... because it’s truuuuuuuue. :hilarious:

The tasks bit is smart as hell. Good on.

 

[Ronin]

but I just about fell over laughing

You shooould, I am trying so hard to find scraps & pieces of laughter and move the all too serious, so all well with that. :tup:

When you're probably one of the few people on the bus who knows where the emergency exit windows are.

When you have an escape route (or several depending on the space) and a hiding space (ditto) mapped out for every area you are in.

When your brain's default long form of the word "Vet" used to be veterinarian and now it's changed to veteran.

When "Doctor" used to mean GP, but now it's too ambiguous as it meaning pdoc is just as likely.

When people talk about the glass being half-empty as though it's a negative thing, when really you'd be glad to have a stress cup that mirrored.

When you find yourself swearing at the microwave because it beeped to let you know your food was ready, or in general hate on home appliances for doing their job if their job involves sudden beeps (washing machine.. dishwasher.. I'm looking at you too :cautious: )
