You Know You Have PTSD When...

[mumstheword]

You hide in your room, when the house inspectors come (luckily, I have a great guy friend, who did a stellar job, giving them the tour).

 

[ChildofGod]

You begin to find beauty in the darkness.

 

[Ronin]

Loud music.

Because you're busy.
Drowning out static. :smug:
Of a decade ago. :shifty:

 

[jaccat]

Social distancing and self isolation are not a problem.

 

[Friday]

Your favourite “outfit” is an exceptionally well coordinated pair of pajamas :bag:

^^^You then proceed to have an argument in your head about how pajamas are NOT your favorite outfit, and you might even BEGIN to consider it, if it came with combat boots. Shut up brain. Seriously. Shut up. Or I’ll start thinking swim suits at you... Okay! Fine! Instead of happily relaxing in badass PJs, we’ll argue with each other about things we don’t have? Because that makes sense? Enjoy the moment, brain, and shut it. We’ve enjoyed worse. Finally. Detente reached. FFS ^^^

They ARE badass PJs. Just for the record ;)

(And, yes. They’d still look damn fine with combat boots. And be ever so slightly more functional to not-sleep in.)

Same kind of 'brain noise' today as @Friday is having.

But I cut it short by saying 'CALM THE f*ck DOWN!!'

I do not have the energy to argue with PTSDbrain today.

And yes, I AM going to rescue a cat. In the rain and cold. I also have badass PJ's. And I'm wearing them out to do the rescue. No one is around anyway. But they are camo PJ's by Harley Davidson. No one will be able to see me right??!! If there is even anyone out and about.

If anyone says anything, THEN I can unleash my crazy on THEM!!

The world is in turmoil..

Major problems arise: No eyecream..

 

[ladee]

^^^^^:laugh:, but with respect to the circumstances.

 

[Ronin]

When...

Fine, head, since you won't stop with the BS trauma parallel (x 99 of them) - what a high quality prison I got :happy: No others to direct manage, clean water, know the date & loc & move of everyone needed around, know where my own are, exits, not doped, have a shower & coffee even, and oh, million gear items on hand.

Plus all most needed teammates (hi, head team) with me. :ninja:

Ffs PTSD. So let's play a game.
Fine? Fine. Now back to real & now shit needing doing that drives me nuts.

 

[Ronin]

*scrolled up*

Yo Friday, you got badass ParaJumpers, who even needs anything else? :whistling:

Aand you can haz my boots ;)

 

[ChildofGod]

You finally find the courage to want to meet people, and now it's impossible. (looking at you, covid 19)

 

[ChildofGod]

When I realized I am dysfunctional to intimacy, physically, emotionally and mentally as well. I am not ashamed of this. It seems like a very difficult thing to grasp, understand and even accept.
