When you do not feel comfortable with people and without people...

When you are rereading your diary and disassociated and forgot it was yours....then read something and said out loud.."well, finally a story just like MINE"

When 2 good hours in a day mean the rest of the day will be shit.

Walking into the film festival venue, seeing all the people and hearing the roar of conversations, turning around and dropping your ticket at the door on your way out and making it to your car just before you start to hyperventilate. Three hours later making it home cause you had to stop so much along the way. Fun.

 

[Anrish]

When every task seems like a huge obstacle.

When the things that don't are all the things you remember are a Don't Do It.

When you want to get a tattoo about important things in your life to deal with the memory loss.

But then, you're fairly sure you'd forget why you got the tattoos, too, as been there with things others got you, just enough times.

You know you have PTSD when ...
you embrace it,

fully believe -

*And then you suddenly don't give a d*mn anymore IF THEY get it.

When the noises outside you house scare you... but not as much as silence.

 

[Deadman]

When you never have to make the bed in the morning because you don't sleep ON it anymore.

 

[Chiqui]

When you think about your social life and realize you have canceled the last ten encounters
