You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Keming]

"One of us is getting naked tonight and it's not going to be me."
- to my bed.

 

[Keming]

When you have two different voices, and your co-workers ask if you're schizophrenic, and you say, "Oh, don't we wish. I wish. Dammit."

(facepalm)

when your at a comedy club for the mandataroy christmas party and the comedian starts cracking faggot jokes and the loball glass in your hand breaks and the blood and scotch doesn't take the smile off my face because you animals never get to see me in pain again.

 

[Anrish]

When you just cannot take a compliment.

When you have problems to accept that your place is not where others usually go.

 

[Lola Nocheprieta]

When you're happy that the grandkids are sick and couldn't come over, because being around little kids the same age you were makes you cry and dissociate.

When you're happy that you got sick anyway, because being around anyone makes you cry and dissociate.

I was talking with my T the other day, and I was telling her how slow movement would set it off, she wa...

The fastest way to wake my son up is to sneak in and whisper.

Come running in and shouting? He'll tell you to go f*ck yourself.

Me on the other hand? Oh the differences between traumas. Both will see me up. My ALARM on the other hand? I'm startin to give the poor wee thing a complex. :P I have, however, recently set it to opera. If it's going to be playing for several hours, I figure that the other people who can actually hear the sucker should get some culture.

Mine is a rooster. On occasion I do sleep through it but most of the time? He makes dang sure I get up lol

When the improvement in your communication skills is you're again talking to long dead people.

Lookit. I have all the words. And the awareness I won't hurt them and nobody else will for my shit wording -- oh, right, not much can go worse from this point with them.

 

[Ironlady]

When even breathing hurts.... and you can't pinpoint what intenal memory is after you. One? Or all?

 

[Anrish]

When you plan to make up an excuse so you don't have to go to a Christmas party - and you get so tense due to the fear that you really get heavy headaches and have to leave early...:banghead:

 

[Ironlady]

When the inner kids take over and convince you you are wrong and made a mistake when you didn't make one at all and it takes depending on someone else to remind you that you are ok and you didn't do anything wrong. :banghead:

 

[Ronin]

When inner kids have more ideas to talk to people about what's up than many others on board.

Riiight. When I was a kid, I was heckuva caring about proper reporting. Adult trauma just taught me silence protects. ... I need that poster about silence not doing that like yesterday, everywhere.

... When you need important things as a tattoo because you'll just forget them otherwise.

 

[Keming]

...When everyone is worthwhile and interesting, except you.
