You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Sandra]

You want to look online at a certain store for a specific item and can't remember the name of the store. :rolleyes:

I'm still thinking.

You have lost a lot of time. You know you have done everything as usual because it's done!!! However, it's really strange to go on co-pilot!!!:confused::eek:

You miss your breath test cause you forgot and accidentally post in somebody else's diary! :(:mad:

 

[Nighthawk]

When there is quiet in your head and you freak out cause something is really wrong with that.

OMG!! I thought I was the only one who slept in the closet!! :unsure:

When you start seeing and treating yourself the same as your abuser/s did.
In others words your useless, worthless, stupid and the list goes on.
When you can't hold a relationship together.
When you want to be loved, but are terrified of it at the same time.
When you dread social occasions and Christmas and can't stand to see other people happy. And you'd rather drop off the face of the earth.

When you log on at 1:30 am not understanding why there is no one else in chat

 

[Nighthawk]

When forum withdrawals are so bad that you don't know where and when but you have to find a computer to log on.:eek:

 

[Happy Head]

When you do all your Christmas shopping from the computer on "Cyber Monday"

Your mind plays tricks on you.

 

[Queen Boudica]

Your kids tell you that you hate them and you believe that is what they think. You believe it because you know what a mess you are and how your shouting gets out of control and that scares your kids. And they think you hate them. But you really really love them and really really want not to shout, but whatever you do, you just can't stop.

You know you have PTSD when........either because you avoid mirrors, or have such poor concentration, that you regularly put your clothes on inside-out or backwards. Then you don't even realize it until some calls it to your attention :eek:
