You Know You Have PTSD When...

[alixipain]

You know you have PTSD when someone says you can't cook, to prove them wrong you start to spit out the ingredients list for cakes, and stews... along with how to make Dynamite, Nitro glycerin, and other explosives by ingredient and by its Periodic Table structure!

You know you have PTSD when everybody around you realizes you’re more intelligent than you allow them to know, YET you consider yourself not as intelligent as they see you as.

LOL Second that last one for me - it doesn't help that I look 10 years younger than I am, either.

If I shave my beard and mustach I loss 20 years!

20 years is a lot to lose! You could go undercover!

Ummmm to be on topic....

You know you have PTSD when you grab a klondike bar for dinner because there's stuff on the stove and you can't move it. I mean, you can, but you JUST CAN'T.

When you finally locate all your pj's and towel for a long hot grounding shower, then forget where you put them...then finally get around to your shower, get new ones, and come back to get in bed...

...and your towel and pj's are waiting for you there.

When you need post-its to remember what you are working on at your computer because you keep getting intruded upon every 7 seconds....

When you're the one who jumps outta her skin at your DBT group and they all look at you weird because your system reacted to a background noise NONE of them noticed...

You know you have PTSD when you have trouble listening to your T because there's a clock ticking. And ticking. And ticking.

You know you have PTSD when you're convinced the only one who likes and truly understands you is your CAT.

 

[alixipain]

Even I am ashamed of what I would do for a Klondike!!!

 

[Heather]

When you believe you must have been really bad in your past life and that's why I'm being punished in this life

I am so there with you!

Did I mention that I don't cook on the stove - I microwave my meals? How's that for PTSD!
