You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Heather]

You know you have PTSD when you're in the hospital about to have major surgery and the only people you call to tell is your therapist and sex. assault counselor 'cause you HATE everyone else.

When you make it two blocks down to a little park and your calves are tired from the walking. o.0

You know you have PTSD when you are freaked out that the Easter Bunny will be coming. And he only comes once a year.

You think..........

How does he FIND me each year?
What has he heard about me?
Did someone talk to him? I did not sign a privacy release to disclose information to him!
And what the hell is really on those PEEPS that they stay soft for decades?

(I know, I know! A shameless copy of my Santa post, LOL) :laugh:

ISH

You know you have PTSD when the tub of sour cream in your fridge is having its 1 year old birthday tomorrow.

- You also know you have PTSD when you keep looking at the date but continue to put it back into the fridge instead of the trash can.

....when bad is good and good is bad.

......when the doctor tells you that you may be sick and you just look at him, thinking, "I wonder how long it will take to kill me," with no intention of treatment.

.......when you almost die and as you are laying there you are not filled with regret and feelings of wanting to live and improve but are thinking, "God, that was a long, horrible ride...... I'm glad it's over." When you are are OK, you cry.

..........when there is a large storm headed your way and you are on foot and do not even care or take cover. When it hits, you tell it to f*ck off and keep walking, almost getting struck by lightening.

...........when you laugh at your neighbor because he is mad that your plant went over to his side. You have spent the whole morning in a dire life or death situation in your head and he is complaining about a plant. You laugh and laugh and you cannot stop............he realizes you are gone and walks away.

..........when you realize that even agnostics and atheists do not understand the vehement anger toward god that you have...........

I as a man cannot even hold conversations with woman that I know through only keyboarded words that have suffered the greatest traumas from the hand of another male because all I want to do is tell the woman "please send there attackers my way" because the punishment that I would subject and bestow those maggots of this sometimes ever so cruel world still would not fit the crime they committed against the most precious creatures of this planet.

njray- I love this! Thank you. I've been hypervigilant pretty much my entire life because I knew that no one was ever going to take care of me. It makes some people uneasy, but I love the strength and ferocity of men when they use it to protect people. I'm going to fantasize about sending you a couple of the S.O.B.'s that I could never protect myself from. Have fun!

You know you have PTSD when something happens and you wonder, on an academic level, was that a trigger or a stressor? Hm?

...when you get overwhelmed at the dinner table because one person asked for butter and another asked for ketchup at the same time. Ack! My brain froze. There were too many people talking! Out of control! I hid my face and tried to resist the urge to crawl under the table and hide with the dog.

You also know you have PTSD when your five-year-old realizes what hiding your face means and starts patting your back to help you ground yourself. :oops:

...you stay up all night and a good portion of the day in an effort to prevent 'tomorrow' from coming.

You know you have Ptsd when you respond to someone's post on here regarding their concerns about a specific day saying you hope it passed by alright.

Then go to bed only to wake up an hour later shouting out "OH NO" as you have just realised that you are a day ahead of yourself. :confused: Plus you know your face is red even in the dark.

 

[alixipain]

that you are a day ahead of yourself.

Good then you can give me a heads up advance notice on how my day will be like, since your experiencing it before me!
