You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Truthful_Whispers]

You become allergic to humans..

 

[ChildofGod]

I now know that it was never my fault. I am no longer blaming myself. I went through so much to get to this point.

Good work @SilentNoMore !!! Major accomplishment.

Sending safe hugs if you accept. A major healing step!

 

[Lionheart]

you are fundamentally unsure of yourself. (I don't know if that is a part of PTSD but it has been my experience.)

 

[ChildofGod]

thanks ladee! It feels great. I am no longer scared, angry or sad. I am better than I have ever been my whole life. I feel whole as to being broken, better than whole. Better than if nothing had ever happened to me.

You know you have PTSD when you're actually calmer than the average citizen because it's everyone/a shared experience instead of a perp targeting you for sexual assault/aggravated battery/attempted murder. It's concerning but it's not sending me into fight mode. No triggers with this Covid stuff.

... and when not even an outbreak can derail your annual anniversary reactions :hilarious:

Thanks, PTSD brain. I knew nothing out of the usual f*ckups is on.

 

[ladee]

when you do not have a problem staring at the clock waiting for time for your next meds.

 

[Ronin]

You go from cool & collected, just angry normal to hot dysregulated mess to cold dysregulated mess in a few days.

And all for stupid stalking with too long and complex RL trauma attached. :bored: :wtf:

Brain, you get a cookie. On top of f*cking up health we also ace losing the mental one. <v-sign>

 

[Changing4Best]

@whiteraven YES you ARE!!

yes indeed!

 

[Changing4Best]

When you have been telling yourself throughout all this time alone at home that you should clean house, but you have not been able to lift a finger with which to do so. Stuck in freeze.

When a conversation about archery and breathing is just a minefield, too. :rolleyes:

But the buddy insisted texting after years of silence is a good choice.

... and this be other of updates it took you an hour to make.
