You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Friday]

When you can't tell if is anxiety cold, flashback, or the weather. Aaaargh.

 

[Anrish]

When the question "Why did you leave the party so early" makes you feel like someone puts a rope around your neck to strangle you.

When the mentioning of all the booze makes you feel sick....

When your whole body hurt from tremling because you were so tense due to social interactions forced on you.

Finding someone who shares your sense of humor makes your day.

Because, dangabit, you could finally laugh at that gun that didn't help you as you wanted, & all of the unspoken histories of why f*ck-the-guns-I'm-Bat-... Arrow.

 

[jaccat]

When something bad happens and you find it imposdible to judge whether it was just one of those things or really bad.

 

[Ronin]

& ^^ That.

And when you go by 'No one died, so it wasn't bad. ... It wasn't me, so it wasn't bad either' // gee, that's also a history attitude.

It just takes being alone.

When you only feel 100% safe when you're 100% alone.

You make me snort and laugh on the train ... the shit in your head that you don't say out loud? Probably make me pee my pants.

When you only feel 100% safe when you're 100% alone.

and the only living creature you trust is the dog ... As its the first time you ever had unconditional love from anywhere,,,

You freeze when you hear the smallest noise, who's there!? Are they trying to break in? Have they come to kill me?

And it was just a bird collecting a leaf.

When your constructive activities of the day are researching homelessness in another state half a globe away.

Apparently some trauma & stress so heavily state-bound... but so is hope, with another state, still.

When people telling you with huge smiles "Hey, you join in! Everyone's gotta do it! It's group pressure! No escape" that you just want to run away as fast as you can.
