You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Ellabella44]

when you read the word "DID" immediately as Dissociative Identity Disorder even if its a phrase like "Did you buy some milk?"

on a slow minded day you wonder why the person who asked thinks that the milk you just bought is dissociating.

when you meet a traumatized cat and immediately know her hissing and being angry is a defense mechanism. And recognizing her jumpiness is hypervigilance. Im working with her and will see how she can be calmed.

You feel safe and at ease in a waiting room with five paramedics.

You feel safe with paramedics just fine.

Doctors are another issue altogether. But medics are :inlove: and forever dear.

Totally agree with you, @Cashew :ninja:

Doctors are a whole different kettle of fish :shifty:

@Cj77 fish lol

-P-docs need p-docs.
-Regular docs and p-docs need to keep up on modern research! Very least on medicine.

I so far think Chinese are the most knowledgeable about the human body.

They say here acupressure doesn't work? If you can K.O. Someone by hitting a pressure point - you can heal them via these points too surely?

Paramedics don't get paid anywhere near enough for the job they do.

Yet a psychologist etc will maybe not be any use and still get £70000 or more a year? Hmmm.

Yass. Logic. The enemy of many educated men. (And women).

You also know you have ptsd when your favourite book in the world is an SAS survival guide :ninja:

Different story putting it into practice, mind you. Make an igloo? :brb: :alien: :brb: :O_o: :bookworm: :poop:

 

[Ronin]

When you laugh too hard about that, as for true, but then arrive at the mental dilemma of 'how thick are printed copies of that, if anyone does it anymore? How bad is it for throwing?' .... I should go back to sleep.

Normal people just sit and read the books. And build igloos.

When you don't have the strength to talk back to your stupid trainee because of your lack of sleep and your own unstable state...

When you want to talk to people but don't know what to say because all your words are meaningless.
