You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Friday]

Your first thought when you step outside and your fingers and toes start freezing, and you start shivering …ISNT that we’re having a cold snap… but that your anxiety is up. <facepalm>

…when you realize that “not throttling people” (who don’t deserve it) appears to be the theme, this month.

Peculiar kneejerk responses to minor irritations, are on special, aisle 3!

Just this month? I’m jealous.

When you’re in the milk aisle and two other shoppers join you and like a flash I’m out of there and getting milk tomorrow too many ppl I still have some milk

I can so relate to this one

LMAO… Oh next month it will be something like “I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.” Or “Bite Me.” Or something equally impolite society. Won’t really know until it keeps cropping up in casual conversation, or impulses avoided. This month, however, appears to be the month we don’t choke people.

we don’t choke people

Sounds like how I speak to my students. You sure you don’t have an inner child ? “Friday’s child is loving and giving…”.

That can change - we are only a couple days into the month......

You know you have PTSD when you just want to shove all your income tax stuff in a box with a note that says - you want it, you figure it out.....and send it in.

When you argue that it’s perfectly fine for you to go home without pay even though you worked just because someone else showed up that also wanted to work.

When someone does not put more butter in the butter dish and you throw a temper tantrum.

Today this is me.

When you fluctuate back and forth between hiding and curling in a cocoon and actively looking for the most solid object you can find and just going out there blaze of glory.

And of course that those parts keep each other from actually accomplishing anything, cause one part's too busy holding one back, while the other part is too busy trying to the drag the other one to it's feet.

This made me feel better actually. Just picturing that in my head. We need a cartoonist to make these into a comic strip.

You find old to do list-
And the second bullet says
Cry for like 5 mins tops *

You have a mental list of acceptable reasons to give people for why you're upset for the days you can't hide it.
