You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Deleted member 29920]

You're not really in your body, you're just floating above wishing for everything to be over, wishing you weren't you

 

[A little lost]

You need to just talk ....so much so it's a physical pressure on your chest and lump in your wine pipe....but your head is just screaming DON'T DO IT!!! DON'T YOU f*ckING DO IT!!!
...then the fear and anxiety shut you down even though there's a tiny little whisper still saying...tell someone.
The dirtiest fight in the world is the one you have with yourself, neither side fights fair

*oops, wind pipe!!! How I wish I had a wine pipe....Freudian slip??

When you finally get to your special Trauma-Informed Yoga for Depression and Anxiety class after 2 weeks, and realize that's the only time you are in your body (even though you regularly dissociate during class)

When you have a dream that you are pregnant... and it f*cks up your whole day... 66 yrs old, abstinent... post menopausal.... and dream you are pregnant..... it was a DREEEEEAM Ladee.... breathe.... lots of deep breaths.....

When talking to muggles about their "love life" just fills you with rage. They take their safety for granted and put themselves in stupid af situations the guy they're talking about has so many red flags I can't even. Or is what they're doing perfectly normal and my issues are getting the better of me.

When you check out at work b/c your boss triggers you with images of your childhood abuser.

When you wake up and your heart is pounding out of your chest.

Later...no stressors and your heart is still pounding

You know you have PTSD when the nurse hands you a piece of paper that asks 'What stresses you?' And the nurse turns around and says "yes I know there's not enough lines, just try to fit it all in"

You know you have PTSD, when your first stressor is "people" the next "the world/environment"

You know you PTSD when the nurses become worried and tell you that your heart works and beats way too hard doing nothing and you have to tell them it is beating that fast because they touched you.

I hear you and raise you not just people, but places and things stress as well! JJ

 

[Ronin]

When you're depressed by things that used to energize you.

f*ck that shit. U-Turns. My road still leads to a state of a promise, so no kicking the bucket, now.
Or: When I can't live for who my heart's still persuaded it lives for, I'll live for others that made it home in that heart, and /stayed/.

 

[Anrish]

When you are never secure if you interpret too much or not enough into things because you mostly do not understand others.

 

[Heather]

When your stress cup runneth over and you're hallucinating again.

Gonna call my psychiatrist.
