You Know You Have PTSD When...

You know you have PTSD when reading this scares you.

And when it doesn't scare you, but you have the same intensity knee-jerk reaction to it...

As And then what?
Either you can see that action as accomplishing absolutely nothing, or inviting worse consequences - worse or more stressful even if not traumatic.

Not even starting on the fact many of those abusers? Are wiide open information. Where you are, or internationally. It's not like it's a secret they're A-grade assholes and in what ways.

Just sharing that doesn't make moves toward justice, though.

And yes. Can make things worse.
For you or people you care for.

... So while you don't feel the fear, fear and thinking through consequences makes more sense to you.
 
Just need an acronym for when life is amazingly virginal and SNAFU & TARFU & FUBAR don't adequately describe the situation.

URFU. Utterly And Royally f*cked Up.

Of course, then there's always My name is... :facepalm:

Yo @ladee! You said you wanted more alphabet soup. ;) And a friend quoting my old teases back to me reminded me I actually have the acronym I was looking for.

And when...
Nah, just bullshitting, this time. No fire, here. Just sharing woords. With other dear friends, promised to get back to.
 
When... here comes a success story ;)

After two years of therapy on something you are able to put the name of the location and 'I' in the same sentence...

Without losing your shit for months after and not remembering why, even.

Magic wand needs more work, though. As it still doesn't work 100 percent for all needed audiences.

... maybe if I give it other two of work. :eek: :wtf: :shifty: :laugh:
 
When you have spent four days looking for a name and number you wrote down on one of the many pads, notebooks, sticky notes. Spend another hour on the internet looking for the number because you can't find the pad notebook sticky note. Call get an appointment, only to find the number was in YOUR PHONE THE WHOLE TIME.
 
Yo @ladee... Yes.

Something similar being a reason why I stiill didn't mail Ironlady, despite thinking of her daily & reading / posting here about as much.

Braiin. Brain. Helloo? Stop being evasive puppy. Kinda want you with me. *goes looking for brain while Mission Impossible theme plays in the background* :banghead:
 
Sibling sexual abuse does occur and I wish the stigma of it was not so strong and scary. Other types of abuse may occur at the same time, such as physical or verbal abuse.

I understand why it is scary and awful.
 
When you receive a gift from a friend, take a picture with your phone, totally freak out because you need to have FB on your phone to send the pic, And know your brain is not working well enough to figure out how to get FB on your phone, all the while scrolling FB on your phone. The end.
