You know you have PTSD when you get your internet back on and the first thing you do is check out this forum

You know you have PTSD when you turn on the tv to watch a show then come back an hour latter thinking "When the heck did I turn that thing on?"

You know you have PTSD when a stuffed dog named "pookie" in Target causes an anxiety attack.

Your favorite movie is "Conspiracy Theory" and Jerry Fletcher seems normal to you.

You are well aware of the difference in cover and concealment.

The line from the movie Shootist "I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them" seems to sum it up pretty well.

Oh forgot. Considers being a Hermit an interesting profession.

Would like to build a house in the side of a mountain in Arkansas with strategically placed gun ports and a good field of fire. Would want an electric fence around the house and that's to keep out your family.

When you can never ever find your keys, so in the end you buy one of those whistling key ring things to help you find them. Only the whistling key ring thing is set off by your screaming kids, multiple times a day and you get so annoyed with the whistling keyring thing that you switch it off and then can't find your keys. But the kids think it is hilarious and keep switching it back on again and deliberately being loud to set the whistling keyring off again. So you chuck the whistling key ring in the bin but then you can't find your keys cause they were still attached to the whistling key ring :eek:

When you put a load of washing in the washing machine and then come back after half an hour to find you have not put the detergent in the machine, so you do that and then come back after half an hour and realise you have not switched the machine on and then come back after half an hour and find you still did not switch the machine on :mad:. And this happens every time you put a load of washing on, and the same happens with the dishwasher!!!

My husband wants to start wearing matching hawaiian shirts so that he can look at his stomach, then look across the room for the matching print and find me. Won't work for finding his keys, though. :p

When your brain say's snap out of it, but your feelings fights you.
When your on the run not forward, only backwards.
No matter how hard you try, you can't find the off switch for your emotions.
When your obsessed about the very thing you don't want to think about.
When you say "The world is my Oyster" only but don't know how to open the damn thing.

You know you have ptsd when your ring tones consist of kryptonite, Dance with the Devil, Kidnap the Sandyclaws, and Paranoid.
