You Know You Have PTSD When...

[IamJenna]

You know you have ptsd when Flashback Friday isn't just a twitter post.

 

[Anrish]

When you can spend more than 24 hours in trance because of one nasty person...

The Edinburgh tattoo fireworks make you literally fall off your chair and shake...:meh:

When isolation and recuperation most days pretty much mean the same thing.

 

[Ronin]

When isolation means you end up nigh feral and don't remember what happened before then -

Ok. Reading and not isolating. Needa read for a reason. Needa not isolate for a reason.

 

[Deleted member 37085]

When my home becomes my prison, and my prison becomes my home.

 

[Keming]

- when you're never really lost because you never really known where you are

 

[expectingbetter]

When you can spend more than 24 hours in trance

So the same with me!!!!!!! Well said.

When you've been with your T so long that, instead of explaining why that particular thought is a distortion, she just resorts to one word- 'b*llocks!' :whistling:

 

[Ronin]

When your actually-helpful therapists are people from all walks of life with whom you'll trash talk therapists with. :whistling:

& When the thought of therapists has you reaching for your knives. Right, all's well in kingdom hell, bodies remember things I'm good not remembering right now.

 

[Friday]

When spending an hour with human people has both a victories list, & an abject failures list. :banghead:

This is the mirror held up to who I used to be...

 

[Ronin]

& When you decide to not do mirrors with what you used to be, because hey, I'm trying to get out of this pit, not dig myself deeper day by day. :wtf::banghead:
