You Know You Have PTSD When...

[BlackbirdSinging]

When you feel the equivalent of being violated and you get triggered because, someone was sitting too close to you for too long and not moving.

When you go see a movie, and leave with a symptom you have NEVER had....

 

[Chiqui]

When self perception and how others see you don't match at all. Closed and unfriendly versus open and valuable.

 

[Ronin]

When one of the best feelings in the world is a conversation about why you *don't* have to live, and it's alright, for once.

& When ^ is one of the reasons to forgive yourself you live, they don't, you failed, and are allowed to go on. Because stopping is fine.

 

[jaccat]

When your therapist has to ask you if you're as okay as you appear to be (and you can't answer that question).

 

[Lola Nocheprieta]

When you feel happy and have strung together a few good days in a row and you're waiting for the other shoe to drop.

There is no such thing as too many flashlights. Only too many in one place.

Keming..... I finally get the flashlight thing! My guy explained about the shadows in the corners when it's dark. It makes perfect sense!!

:bag: When you give your symptoms Achievement Awards ... Just to keep things interesting.

 

[Heather]

When someone "follows" you and it leaves you feeling creeped out.

When you decide not to open a letter because it doesn't matter if it's good news or bad news. Stress at capacity. No news is good news. For now.

When you can't wear cute shoes because they don't cause as much damage if kicking is required today.

LMAO. When I'm wearing cute shoes? Or anything that is better kicked off than run in? I have a pair of converse in my "purse".

When your "purse" is everything a girl needs to handle the first few days of the Zombie Apocalypse. And really needs not to go through metal detectors. Or X-ray machines.
