You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Dergrosse]

When every t-shirt becomes a v-neck. Can't have anything too close to the neck

When your body pain wakes you up, you stagger out of bed, go outside for a smoke, half asleep, and start looking around. Everything is blurry , you blink a few times, and it only seems to get worse. It scares you so bad your arms go numb.. what the hell is happening here???? And THEN, you realize you didn't put your glasses on when you got out of bed.

When people ask you if you have support...

What da ya mean about that needed, you friend had an awesome fuq da system, make own organizations, rant, I need that more than people with four different types of era delayed psychobabble.

When you measure several disorders emotions by food and music.
Feelings, no idea. But I again ordered that coke wrong.

And when you amuse yourself by that for a therapy session.
So aside of graves, mud, and patches I still do not remember, I f*ck up coke, you?

When you sit through a safety course and think why didn't they mention watching shadows, corners, back of the car, the neighbor, the guy three cars back that had been following you for ten minutes, and the list goes on

 

[Ronin]

... When your idea of a safety course you can finish is not in a lecture room, points for being sneaked up on only eight times and not twenty like the other year.

 

[EveHarrington]

When you question why you’re dissociating and realize that it’s severe pain doing the trick!

 

[Ronin]

... your productive therapy is all laughter.

Severely depressed, but you have a hilarious But to everything.
When your therapist has to remind you some things are not a, fun, b, supposed to be about lifting their mood up.
Dang, and I interrupted my silence spell for this.

When you wake up and notice a bruise you can't recall on your leg- well, no big deal.
.. and you make the bed because the sheets are totally twisted up and like a mountain and think- not bad night sweats though, and slept! :tup::)
.. but then you notice the fitted sheet has a tear right down the middle- ??? :wideeyed: :eek: :confused: ??? :unsure: (Though I'm glad to say that's a (weird) 1st for me! :wideeyed::rolleyes: I mean really- ?? :wideeyed::confused::eek::( )

 

[Candleflames]

when after 4 glorious hours of sleep, you wake up to your partner injured and find out you're thrashing and screaming in your sleep again.

 

[shimmerz]

When your big night out during the week is going to your psychotherapy group. :speechless:

 

[BlueWeepingRose]

When you cry out of the blue and you have no idea why, than you realize it's cause you're in deep pain and this is the way of releasing it. I was once sitting on the chair and memories came to me and I burst into tears out of the blue. Right before that, I was fine and watching TV. The minute the memory came to me, I cried really hard. Sometimes they come to me and I'm not even trying to think of them, they just randomly come out of nowhere. :(

 

[Ronin]

When the opposite, the more in pain the busier you are pretending you are so not. Because of all the reasons it is bad move and pointless.

When you need a helping arm, you will find it at your own shoulder,
Said probably one amputee to another.
