You Know You Have PTSD When...

[OKRADLAK]

When you have tried so many things that the only left you can do are really huge thing, like 7 years in Tibet style, like moving thousands of miles away and the like.

...when you're relieved to be sent directly to voice mail.

 

[The Albatross]

... when you find something knew that makes you freeze, disassociate, startle or almost punch somebody.

....when a wrong number call is the only call you get in a week...and it *still* wrecks you for hours!

 

[Nighthawk]

When you get sick of the phone ringing that you physically pull all the jacks out of the walls. Even though it only rang once in the last week.

(serious one) ...when your friends know you've seen it all but they're too sh*t scared to ask

When you spend 30 minutes looking for your keys, find them, get distracted, set them down, forget and have to start all over again.....:mad:

 

[Nase]

When you have to put your husband on chat so the other PTSD sufferers can explain why is IS a big deal to stop and talk to the neighbor for like 20 minutes before coming in the house...." I could see you ya know" "I was staring out the back kitchen window ICONSPICULIOUSLY for 20 whole minutes" Heee heee

When you go to fill the salt shaker and fill your coffee cup instead

--Every time someone comes up behind you you yell WTF and practically jump out of your skin

--You go to microwave something and instead put it in the freezer and start trying to push buttons

--You prefer silence, that way you can hear the slightest noises of danger coming

--you go out to run errands and run home so fast you feel like yelling, "Base!!!"

You know when you have PTSD when your therapist says you have a bright future and you laugh in his face!

You play baseball but won't run the bases when you hit the ball because you don't want to leave home base.
