You Know You Have PTSD When...

Or when you realize your muscles.. All of them... STAY tense. Even your glutes haha. Until you realize you need to relax a little. That lasts about .0096 seconds.

My muscles don't even relax in sleep. I wake up so sore and stiff in the morning and I don't know how to get myself to relax my muscles when I am sleeping. It's weird. When I am awake my default is freeze mode. When I am asleep, my default is fight mode. My husband is very brave for sleeping next to me (without touching me of course) if I feel even the slight change in my environment when I am asleep to quote my husband, I grow fangs claws and horns, and would make any intruder piss himself.

Why can't I do that during the day?
