You Know You Have PTSD When...

[siniang]

It's also when you wake up to the mere sound of your cat going to the bathroom in the other room (yeah, really) followed by some mild 4AM zoomies, so you calmly get up to check on her, and when you get back to bed after not more than a couple minutes, your heart is racing/pounding like you just finished a 100m sprint.

You know you have PTSD when the sudden blast of Fourth of July fireworks sends you completely out of body.

When you wake up in the morning unable to remember last night, log into your computer, and find that dissociative-you was watching a 1988 Aerobics Championship video and left the tab open :hilarious: :hilarious:
Better than waking up to discover another dissociative injury, though :tup:

You see an old friend and your first thought is 'how can I get out of a hug?'

When you realise you've washed a piece of fruit and left it to dry on the dish rack, but you're not even mad at dissociative-brain for the logic because it make a whole lot more sense than putting dishwash liquid in a freshly made cup of tea :facepalm:

When your flatmate starts complaining about how tired she is because she had to get up at six am for the last four nights and you're desperately biting your tongue.

When you're listening to music in your car and a song comes on that is neither sad nor particularly emotional nor tied to a specific event/situation, but you start bawling for no reason at all (or at least that you're aware of) because somehow, weirdly, it has struck some specific emotional chord

When look talking is the best talking.

So are the slightest headtilts. Ok. Not worrying about those, either.

When people-watching extends to people-listening and you can identify who is walking in the corridor outside your office just by hearing by the way they opened the door at the beginning of the corridor.

The internal catalogue of door noise nuances is slowly but surely increasing :tup:

You almost don't recognize abuse when it's non verbal, and to know that I've been nothing more than a maid/servant to someone who never had my best interests at heart.

When a list of things you're not doing is a pretty good list.
