You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Forgetful]

@Ronin not only a new goal but a heartwarming story too!!

 

[Ronin]

Very true, @Forgetful. :D

& When stalker Santa and weaponized reindeers are totally enough to forget you have issues with Christmas. There, I'm ready for Christmas. Got ammo /and/ hilarity. Enough to get through.

 

[Keming]

... When the best thing about Christmas is the annual rewatching of Die Hard, because anger, pain, violence and revenge are at least something you understand.

ah, bugger. i think i just harshed the buzz.

 

[Ronin]

i think i just harshed the buzz.

Never, homie. I speak that. :D

I'm just trying to /also/ speak sugar candy & happy glimmer in eyes that wasn't /because/ what's under the bloody tree is a quartered adversary and a new set of daggers. Well. Maybe the next year. >__>

When your body is tense and you don't know even why...

When you are scattered in med withdrawals and go food shopping on the one day it pours rain down and I get soaked, Just miserable.

 

[jaccat]

When, out walking, you carry your keys in your pocket just in case you need a handy weapon. And when you can create disaster scenarios out of absolutely anything.

 

[NoWhereKnowWhere]

When my partner has started whistling when he walks around the house at night so I don't jump out of my skin every time he comes round the corner.

 

[Anrish]

When you overthink every word and accept people who just don't do it...

 

[Keming]

... when you find yourself checking for thorns in your shorts that haven't been there for thirty years.

 

[Ronin]

When you don't know if to have a meltdown over what you didn't manage to say, or what you did.

So you say the former in a poem and the latter in silence. There. Silence speaks it all & carries everything away by the wind. I'm good.

 

[One step at a time]

...when you enthuse about how it feels funny to have hot chocolate chips sizzle on your tongue, and everyone is like but that hurts. And then you realize that oh yeah, it is probably supposed to hurt. You just don't notice.
