You Know You Have PTSD When...

[goingonhope]

You know you have Ptsd when numb and you forget that you ever had a mother and a father. :confused:..:eek:..:confused:

(Just kidding, not suggesting that all have).

You read "I want to be a vet" in a post and it takes 5 more posts and 2 days before you understand they mean 'veterinarian' and not 'veteran'. :eek:
Couldn't understand why they said 'volunteer at animal services.." :rolleyes:

Not too distracted, anyway! :rolleyes:

You know you have PTSD when:

You make your lists in triplicate - 1) In case you forget 2) In case you lose the list 3) In case you forget you lost the list. :rolleyes:

You have to check the calendar each day, not for the date, but for the year. :O_o:

The cashier says "Have a nice day", and you spend 15 minutes wondering what she meant by that. :eek:

Paranoia seeps in. The world is a brutally evil place.

Kinda the opposite of Angel's. . .when your wife no longer enjoys cuddling with your pillows because they have been soaked with night sweats.

*smiles sympathetically*
This made me think of something I never considered before, that maybe keeping clean towels and a change of nightwear next to the bed is not something everyone does?

You know you have PTSD when your Amazon wish list is full of books about suicide and depression.

You know you have PTSD when your zip gets stuck and you start panicking because your trapped in your clothes:eek:

 

[Anna]

You feel like you are evil and everybody hates you.

When you freak out about egg shells falling on the floor because someone might walk on them.

You believe people are only nice to you because they want to hurt you or cause you harm in some way. They are not really your friend and they don't really care. In fact nobody cares in this shitty world because it is full of shit.

Every third sentence has the word f*ck in it, or at least another swear word.

People ask you why you flip out about silly little things.

You find yourself calmly counting to 10 before you answer someones annoying question so you don't use a swear word in the answer.

You have a weapon for every occasion: a knife in the nightstand, a gun in the pocketbook, a hoof-pick for running because it balances out the iphone with 911 on speed-dial....
