You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Marie E.]

You sit around and mope all day till somebody tells you to do something. Than you gradually get off of your butt after awhile of thinking.

You hire a new housekeeper and forgot the time she is coming tomarrow. :rolleyes:

You know you have ptsd when your friends have to remind you to eat the food you made 3 hours ago 10 times before you actually get it out just to have to heat it up again.

when your son, and all the neighbor kids are trained to help you stay on task

What the hell was I looking for on this site? :rolleyes:

You know you have PTSD when....

- Your wife tells you that "company" is coming over and you think of all the locations of your firearms and ammo.
- A ride to the grocery store is an enemy infiltration mission.
- An extended trip to family's house is considered a "convoy".
-Coffee has become your IV therapy.
- You go to buy a car and your main interest is how much armor can be mounted on it and if it comes with an optional "turret" package.

Here is a couple more...

You know you have PTSD when.....

- You have triple strand razor wire around the "perimeter" of your home.
- Your neighbors are considered enemy scouts.
- You have enough provisions, weapons, ammo and medical supplies to hold off an entire platoon of troops.

I'm going to repost mine b/c it's fitting for today: And it's true as I just finished all my shopping with about 20 clicks! :ninja:

When you do all your Christmas shopping from the computer on "Cyber Monday"

You know you have PTSD when:
The first time in years you haven't felt broken and shattered was reading this thread.
When your mother calls and says,"Promise me you won't have a come apart." You know it's really bad news and shut down.

Thank you for this thread. I scared myself with the sound of my own laughter and then reveled in the lightness of soul that I had forgotten even existed.

When you frighten yourself with the sound of your own laughter! lmao...

(So funny and familiar, lol... welcome to the forum Windwoman.)

I know this has been said before but...
When you nearly jump through the ceiling when a store clerk comes up behind you and asks if you need help. Did that today and the clerk said he even tried to say something from a distance so he wouldn't scare me and I scared him by my reaction. We both had a good laugh and I ended up apologizing for scaring him. Ugh.

When you have a dream about performing a heroic rescue and being called up on stage to receive a prestigious award... and it's a nightmare. :(

I had creepy cold sweats for hours.

Our crazy dreams. Like the one I had recently about a baby elephant in my house and wouldn't leave me alone. :rolleyes::laugh:
