You Know You Have PTSD When...

[ruffdeal]

you know you have ptsd when your back and legs are sore,fatigue has set in and your really tired and all you've done so far is make coffee..

When you feel totally validated in unashamedly going outside with a visible and drawn weapon while you walk your dog after midnight in a sketchy apartment complex.

Yes, I just did this. At least I decided to switch from gigantic knife that may seriously scare someone unprepared to see a girl with a giant knife in her hand to a nightstick-looking bat that is pretty clearly for defensive purposes and... not as sharp and slice-y. >.< If anybody ever sees me they're going to think I'm a total nutcase. When I have a German shepherd I'll leave the bat at home. Till then... :cautious:

I spent the last year living in the hood part of the city, i would go for a walk at 2 am and go tot 7-11 and harass drug dealers. With my dog and walk right through them doing a deal.

I was the only one in the neighborhood with a golden retriever and not a pit bull, plus i look like a cop to boot. Lots of fun, God what the hell was i thinking LOL not sure why I didn't get killed

You know you have Ptsd when symptoms which have appeared to have gone away are just busily mutating.

You know you have Ptsd when you're quite capable of finding your ass with two hands, only you think your head is your ass and your ass is your head. :laugh:

When you completely freak out, insult everyone and then go around apologizing in the hopes they don't hate you forever.

You know you have PTSD when you can stare endlessly at pictures of yourself, not out of narcicism, but because you are so split body from mind that you cannot for the life of you believe that the confusing clump of carbon in the picture is really you!

 

[Nighthawk]

You know you have PTD+SD when the arm of you console is uo and you are ready to hit the person you think just touched you.

You realize that the line "rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air" in the USA National Anthem was referring to 225 years ago, not NOW.

*When you have moved 4 times in 2 years because all the apartments where unexceptable

*When you send an e-mail to ask any question because then you don't have to talk to anyone

I completely relate!

 

[Sazza]

Wow the sending email so dont have talk, that is exactly me talking scares me i talk about minor things but nothing more.

You know you have PTSD when your life is like a jigsaw all over the place and the pieces just don't fit anymore.

You know you have PTSD when...
-You think just because every single person is out to get you is no reason to be paranoid.

You know you have PTSD when...(For veterans)
-You have flashbacks of eating MRE's whenever your wife is cooking dinner.

... when you wear a T-shirt that reads: "Drugs, not hugs."

... when you get mad at your own hair because it keeps $%$^# touching you!
