You Know You Have PTSD When...

When you have moods that when people text you it irritates and annoys you. Like "What? Why are you talking to me right now? You realize your conversation to me feels more like an invasion of space?"

And then also later when no one is texting you you feel like "Oh ok I see how it is. No one wants to talk to me".

Seriously? Why though?
OMG. I just laughed out loud. This has been mine entire day today.
 
I might should probably add... you know you have PTSD when ...blowing shit up & physical torment seems like a great way to cheer people up :bag: Here! This is gonna suck! It’ll be awesome!

Other people do hugs and shit, don’t they? Not brawling and weapons practice.
This cracked me up! In the car today in passenger seat, as I watched the world pass by, I told my husband "Man, I can totally understand why people blow stuff up. I totally want to blow stuff up!" He looked at me sideways and said, "you're starting to scare me again" haha
 
When you spend your first ever entire week of vacation in a whirlwind of a tailspin. Ugh! Entire week! Gone! Just like that!

When you learn that working everyday is your soul purpose in life. That a week alone, with yourself, is worse then the worst ever day at work!

I f*cking suck at not working! Learned that when I had to spend 2 entire yrs not working after the accident. Have no idea what gave me the idea that a week of a vacation was a good idea!
 
When your officemate comes over to show you something on your computer, opens a new internet tab, sees suggestions for pages to open based off most viewed sites.

Office mate:
"Well, you know you're a nerd when website x (relates to our research) is among your most viewed."
(Also the nerd bit wasn't said as an insult, fyi).

bellbird:
"Yeah and you know you've got PTSD when myptsd is #1..."
 
When the Holidays exhaust you and you just can't stand all the Merry on the HO HO , and people start talking about how symptomatic they are, and you add that stuff to your OWN list because of hearing ringing bells for money and See really ugly sweaters... Is it the new year yet??
 
When some guy umbrella bump mine and i get fired up.

Someone spooking me from behind and get hurt by accident cuz of reaction and then police again. No jail. Cops took me to hosp...

When your whole mood and psyche changes instantly from a "space invader". If it was alien i would be welcoming and say take me away from earthlings. This world is nasty full of creeps, flakes n fakes, pedos, snakes, mindless media fake news, consumerism buy buy buy, healthcare access chopped, homeless increasing, animals species decreasing, global warming, its a bad bad world out there.

When u want to push people in the elevator for crowding around you.

Oh i guess u have ptsd when you find safety here .com
