You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Ecdysis]

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

OMG yes... The alibi ailments...

I'm sorry... I have a "migraine", the "flu", a "slipped disc", a "tummy bug", my "period"... (Please leave me alone while I try to get my raging PTSD back under control with out you noticing...)

When you feel that once in a blue moon calm and relaxed feeling and wonder what’s wrong with you.

When all you see is the people you love best, dying, in the worst possible ways… over, and over, and over. Overlaid.

I know I have PTSD today because Easter is hard due to the trauma.

You spend the day after visiting family recovering - and not because you raided the liquor cabinet.

You say to yourself, don't wash the knife, your wife is in the shower - and grab the knife and start washing it.....

Even your therapist comments on how your life is just so f*ing weird.

You go spot check 1/2 the house and the weather radar to see if it's raining too and go outside and have several fears go through your mind before you realize the 'obviously loud' sounds are the carbonated bubbles coming from the open can of Mountain Dew on the other side of the room.
