You Know You Have PTSD When...

[ChildofGod]

when you remember minute details decades later
that your abuser(s) don't think you'll ever recover or survive this far, or remember certain details
that you know the statue of limitations should be longer

Boredom f*cks me sideways, because of my history.

Aaaargh. Why? Why do I always forget this? :facepalm:

When you need to triple read posts because Completely relaxed isnt a sign of all well, in your land, but being pretty f*cked. Not even in the literal sense. Chill but alert, is well.

When Not on me, lost & dont have the items, not with me, dead, simplifies things... and you need to relearn twenty times a day that just isnt true. Not on me, gettable just in time, not with me, alive and well. Tomorrow too.

Strand of hair leads to a ragefit. Yo, brain, we need to have a little chat about how, truly, hair doesnt resurrect anysucker. Similarity totally accidental.

When you have a memory pop up that is so bad you actually WANT to go back to thinking about the memories with the knives and guns and blood and injury and violence.

 

[AnnieMae]

When your whole life is so effed up and you can’t get back all the good things you had. ?

Feelings can bite me.

Correction. Feelings are biting me. Feelings can kiss my ass. :shifty:

Your neighbour keeps you awake until 5am blasting out techno music and you avoid him for 5 days because you're still angry.

 

[ChildofGod]

when the silence of suffering is worse than the abuse
to be ignored, disbelieved is worse for me anyway

When healing realizations / truths about kaput you.

... Ouch, we were supossed to go slower in some areas for it to work.

When your officemate says he started his day "early" because his several-month-old woke him at 5.30am, but you win by another 24 hours :hilarious:
