You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Rani G2]

When my mother gets an unsure Diagnosis:

I think, she will have cancer, she will have Chemotherapy and she will die.

“She’s really stressed about XY&Z... she just doesn’t show it.”

FFS. If I treated people based on the way I FELT? There’d be a radius of bodies ranging from maybe 75 feet to a good 3 miles. :banghead:

It’s like some people have really never learned how to suck it the f*ck up. Just because I feel like crap? Doesn’t mean I have the right to treat other people like crap.

When going down to the post office to pick up a package is the biggest deal, and I'm not 100 % that I'll be able to do it, today.

You know you have PTSD when your most meaningful conversations have been with the feral cat and possum that you put food out for every night. And you are very ok with this because it too has meaning.

When you come to the forum but you spend all your time in Social, avoiding what is really going on

@ladee I´d love to have conversations with a feral cat and possum

When you MUST SEE THE DRIVER of every silver Kia Sol on the road, every time. When you obsess over what happened even though you know you shouldn't. When you startle if someone walks up behind you quietly. When you try to make a new psych appt but get relieved when it's past office hours so you don't have to talk to a human.

When you are afraid that the things you do and say will always be met with harsh criticism and judgment.

 

[ladee]

When you have been in isolation so long you have become feral.

I just read this again and chuckled out loud. Def needed that this morning ?

 

[ladee]

Happy you got a chuckle @OptimisticRealist !!! Some days we just have to talk to the cat and the possum. Life is for living. And talking with the animals.

... When talking to, just about, anyone, 'cept your nearest and dearest, feels too exhausting, and even your nearest and dearest are too much, at least some of the time.

When...

Drinking. Days long. Glorious fix to every problem known to man.
