@Fadeaway lol hit the nail right on the head. I've tried explaining it to my mom and she still doesn't get it.

When after a “good” day you have to seriously question whether it was actually a good day... or your give a f*ck just happened to be a leeeeettle extra broken, and you didn’t mind your crazy showing, as much as you ordinarily would.

Dammit.

I love not being able to trust my own judgment. It’s outstandig. :wtf:

When you have a huge bowl of ice cream for breakfast and have convinced yourself, it's taking care of your inner child !!

lol @ladee .....I do that, too, with my nice cream and certain smoothie blends. Although I recently discovered quite a few vegan ice cream options arriving in the stores (oh happy day!!!), so that could be a dangerously delicious thing. lol As much as they cost, though, definitely only an occasional thing. Dammit.

I found a Yonanas machine at a thrift shop that you can put frozen fruit into and it comes out like soft serve ice cream or fruit sorbet. YUM! The banana variety tends to be my favorite, especially with some nut butter, a little piece of vanilla bean, and a little carob powder added. Double YUM! Thanks for the reminder to scope out the "ugly table" for some bananas to freeze. :) May our inner children celebrate at least half as much as our taste buds do. lol

That is a clever solution! I like it.

You know you have PTSD when some random shit someone says by chance, turns you into a wreck for the rest of the day.

Your anti crisis plan involves evading all of the crisis workers of the area.
Things are not a crisis of any sort, until people start asking stupid questions about them. :speechless: The harmony of silence.

When your actual crisis is the people sharing your understanding of crisis have been so often evil pricks. :cautious: The unharmonious silence of self control and pushing it down, then.

When you're pretty sure your flatmates must be noticing your excessive use of the washing machine but you don't want to have to go through the process of explaining to them why you wake up in nightsweats every night

You know you have PTSD when...

you spend a lot of time walking around the house searching for things you put away and can't remember where they are or forgetting details of your week.

You amp yourself up to go outside and tell yourself its gonna be okay. When you go out it's fine for a bit, until panic slowly grows and you become paranoid that everyone knows you are different, that they can see your lifes trauma on you and you feel alienated/alone/shamed.

You know you have ptsd when...

You drive by somebody on the road who happens to lift his arms out like, "What?" and you get the urge to come to a complete stop and turn around to break his f*cking arm. But continue on trying to find peace of mind.

You wake up and don't know if you're just super depressed or just super lazy. But either way you're still depressed for no reason.

You hate cars with sub-woofer sound systems because the booms remind you of bomb blasts while wearing noise cancellation headsets over seas. An you fight the urge to run outside and rip them out of their car in a fit of rage lol.

You know you have PTSD when you realize you just gotta keep exposing yourself to triggers until they don't effect you as bad in order to survive in a world where there's always conflict.
