You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Anrish]

When you go into a strict routine wherever you are and suffocate yourself.

 

[Anrish]

When you hear people laughing and it scares you and you feel alone ....all at the same time.

 

[Friday]

When your vision is all blurry and it doesn't immediately occur to you to clean your lenses :facepalm: No, no! We're used to things being all hazy & indistinct & only able to see well within a narrow tunnel of focus and even then having to blink a lot.

Lense cleaner.

Oh. :watching: that's much better.

 

[mumstheword]

When you feel totally guilty and unworthy of even having this illness, even though, intellectually, you know that it's what you've got and you suffer and are debilitated and have suffered from it for much of your life.

 

[Melissa D]

Me- I won't be able to go to sleep unless you come to bed, so let me know what time that will be.

 

[Anrish]

When some presentations about stress and pain...are like a mirror for you. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

[jaccat]

When one half of your head remembers something, but the other half doesn't.

 

[Sandstone]

When you buy a new laptop, but are afraid to turn it on becuse you might break it.

When you can't watch The Blue Planet because there is too much jeopardy.

 

[Ronin]

When people have to tell you to nah, not isolate from them for them, you won't break them. Promise. You won't.

And when breaking a spell is a long curse rant.... about people being kind. Oh. That happened. I'm not just hallucinating kind people. Swear to god, still not fit for humanity. I'll take the islands nearby.

 

[Tinyflame]

Can kind/ safe/ selfless people be small islands @Ronin ? :hug: :hug:

When you're wondering why no one is noticing the smoke in all the hallways, only to realize when you look up it's gone, because there's no smoke- you're looking down and through your eyelashes most of the time. :rolleyes:

When people think your startle reaction is HILARIOUS. :(

 

[Anrish]

When going out almost every evening is just too much. ...today would be the last evening of one here - but I am too tired and just...nah...I want to stay in my room. :(

 

[420kitty]

When you start to get frustrated and then that turns into anger. All you can do is think about punching a wall until your knuckles bleed.
