You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Rob_Dog19]

I do this! Sometimes I write down important things I want to say so I don't forget too.:geek:

Sometimes when there's a lot going on that I don't really know how to talk about, i write out what I want to say and rehearse what I think my session with my T will be like. :geek:

I have started doing the same thing in order to get myself to open up. Thank god I am not the only one!

Wow, I thought I was the only one who did that. I rehearse pretty much every T session. Then again, I rehearse many, many of my conversations every day. Most of the time they are just day to day stuff!! It is so weird to be able to tell that and not feel a total nutter.

When you clean out your email's spam folder because you have nothing else to do.

When the first thing you do when you wake is to go to the PTSD forum
When the last thing you do at night is post on the PTSD forum :unsure:

And you wake up after falling asleep on the sofa exhausted and still go to the forum to read and post, for a bit of comfort before crawling into bed.

When you post twice on a topic---and not only did you not remember posting the first time, but the two posts are totally different! (Different moods when posting on same subject).

 

[Loloma]

When your favorite movies are Thelma and Louise and The Prince of Tides
When you can't remember taking your insulin after you've just taken it. (Can be a problem)
When you sleep with your cat, because no else wants to.
When your bookcase is full of self help books, and you can't help yourself.
When you cry every five minutes and have no control of it.
When you stock your freezer and pantry with food and you live on your own.
When you shut yourself off from the world, and complain of being alone.

When you help and support everyone, but can't look after yourself.
When you make a mountain out of every mole hill.
When you like your own company the best.
When any form of criticism is seen as negative.
When you don't believe any compliment your given (Because your looking for an ulterior motive).
When you see yourself as dumb, stupid, ugly, etc. etc.

when you have a nightmare, for the 1000st time, even more messed up than the previous one, you will be like, oh it's not that bad! Here we go again!!!
you see your therapist, more frequent than your friends and family, you even share bday cake!
you can not describe yourself ( who are you! loving?caring?strong?resilient?)
When your closets are full of stuffed away mess, what you don't see, is't there!;)
Emotions, what are emotions!
When you feel a stranger in the middle of your family, just want to cry at your own bday, while your family is singing, because it just feels sooooooo awkward and you prefer to have been in bed, covered up by the blankets!
