You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Anarchy]

You automatically ask who else is will be there, when a friend asks if you fancy calling round their place.

you use a different shampoo for the first in a long time and it triggers.. something.. but you cant quite grasp what it is.. :O_o:

 

[Anrish]

When you sleep a few hours...and your pulse becomes faster and you begin to tremble even if your loved one is right next to you.

 

[Ronin]

When you'd tremble IF your loved one was near to you. Er. No. You'd be perfectly still.

Sorry :cry:
:hug:

(When, darn, my 'I'm finding funnies in it' don't translate.)

 

[IamJenna]

When ur shouting at urself "U R SAFE!!!" In a quiet still room with nothing but urself & ur partner in there.
But can feel like ur right back in that day it happened.

When you flinch for no reason around certain people.

 

[Choosing]

When you can’t do your taxes because you’re afraid of what might happen if you do.

When someone is calling you and you really want to answer but just end up staring at your phone til...

All the time, every time—I just can’t pick it up—it’s the unknown.

you finally manage a longer sleep but it's filled with nightmares

When stabilization is SCARY!

 

[Ronin]

When stabilization is bringing worst case scenarios to the table and dismissing them one by one.

And when people dismissing worst case scenarios piss you off; preparation against repeats is calming, let me figure my shit and that it is one on my own. Need a teammate, not a babysitter.
