You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Anrish]

When certain things make you freak out / freeze even with a person you trust...

Things you want to respond to the most, you don't.

Let's stick to bullshitting where I can't break anyone.

& When you're darned childish about things other people take for granted. Just because for you, it's damned new the same thing can be presented without harm, to anyone.

When you do not panic about skills...but about social events.

This is so true. So very true, really hit home for me.

You know you have PTSD when:
Not sleeping for 4 days feels normal and you’ve built up such a tolerance for not sleeping that you are still walking around like normal after about 5 days no sleep.
When your dog refuses to sleep on the bed because you wake up kicking and thrashing so often the poor dog is black and blue

When the totally rational reaction to seeing a photo of yourself is wanting to eat your gun. Sure. That makes sense. Total sense. A mirror can simply be broken, but hard delete is forever. Argh.

 

[Anrish]

When you think you know people and when they teach you that you do not.

When someone says the last movie they watched was The Lost Boys... and you get all :woot: They finally made a movie about that?!? About damn time! Awe...soooooome....wait... oh. Right. :bag: Vampires. Not Africa. :facepalm:


Lost Boys of Sudan - Wikipedia

You know you have an attachment trauma when "call me if you end up in a bad place" means "you're on your own and don't you dare to bother with your made-up bullsh*t".

 

[Ronin]

Total sense.

... when it does in fact make sense to you (#Team DeletePicsButNeverFriday.)

... and when you're sooner back to robinhooding or whatever street activity makes sense, because nope, we're not talking about why those tidbits make sense. :bag::banghead: There's space & suns & ships to aww over.

A simple scent or clip of a sound can flood you with a thousand feelings and memories

When everyone seems to feel really uncaring & hostile & it feels like everything is slowly turning very negative & scarcity is kicking in. It's like the end of the world is dawning... then I realise I must be in a negative filter again lol.
