You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Ronin]

:hug::cool: Not meaningless, Anrish. But I get the feeling.

Keep talking, yes? Someone dear told me recently if everyone whose words ARE meaningless shut up, we'd have more silent world than we want, and no background noise to whine about... and he'd miss my 'can't hear you'. So passing that on.

You know you have ptsd when you wake up to WTF is that noise? :eek: & it's the sound of your heart beat.

Hey.. the most beautiful igloo ever in canada.. a guy proposed, got gf's mom to save milk cartoons, made ice bricks out of water & food coloring, created her a stained-glass igloo. :) :tup: :inlove:

You know you have PTSD when you can't seem to finish anyth

 

[Ronin]

When you figure stressor = what makes you want to fight, so very fast homicidal, trigger = makes you want to quit yourself to stop it, so very fast suicidal... and you are proud of you.

Intersections training + trauma + wrong direction training + basic definitions still apply to you. You're not inhuman :D Joys to know.

 

[Dergrosse]

When the new guy keeps making comments about how paranoid you seem.


When you just want to get out of the house, take 2 steps outside and think there are too many angles to watch and your mind isn't up for it.

 

[Ronin]

... When there /aren't/ too many angles to watch, panic sets in, because you keep watching out for it even so and awaiting ghosts that just aren't there is all too close to so many of your problems.

When you know you have to walk out of the door to do medical things and are simply not up to it but still have to go.:eek:

When you have trouble writing out the date because you can't remember what year it is

 

[Anrish]

When you don't like to get involved in internet communities because when you only post only entry, you'll receive strange emails about events and birthday presents for people you don't even know - you only read one of their blogs once...

When you struggle for weeks to tell someone you trust that you don't avoid her sometimes because of her but because of you and your fears...:(

 

[Ronin]

... When you're fine with 'strange' messages, once you categorize it and track its source or at least as far as you can manage to have an idea where the wind's blowing from, but completely innocent messages leave you confused.

... When trust in honesty is too big a problem. Dishonesty, you can operate with. Oh right. People want more than that, and relationships are more than that. f*ckit.

... When you tape 'It wasn't your fault. No guilt, no shame, no violence, no silence' on your mirror again. That's five people in your life teaching you something, remember them when you hate remembering yourself.

when you need to go outside to feed the cat, the neighbors are home, and deciding to put on a bra becomes such a tiring battle to make a decision, you just dump the food right outside the door.

 

[Ronin]

When the biggest battle is the morning 'why the f*ck am I still alive, ___ long list of people who are not, they'd deserve it more'.

Once you get past that, you're a fricking Superman, and whole Justice League.
