You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Philippa]

You hang the washing out to dry, on a cloudy day in a town notorious for extreme weather changes...and it pours down as soon as you get inside.:oops:

 

[p-no]

With social stuff, you keep switching from courage and approach to fear and withdrawal according to the rate of your heartbeat.

 

[p-no]

You finally pluck up enough courage to give someone your phone number and when he says he's going to use it, you're a bit panicky and would like to say: why the hell would you do that???

You chose times to shop for groceries when you know it is usually quiet, but walk straight back out as there are still too many people :eek: When actually there were probably only 10 people in the whole store :oops:

you attempt to write a sentence, seven attempts later and it still doesnt make sense.

You know you have PTSD when watching a simple comedy like Bridget Jones Diary 2 triggers your anxiety... Am I oversensitive or what???

You are pressing the buttons on your telephone, while the calculator is open on your computer screen, and it seriously takes you several minutes to figure out you're not using the keypad...:eek:

A couple years ago one of the guys in my industry told me he thought I was cute and I asked him who payed him to say that.

You know you have ptsd when you have you clarify what you just tried to say to your T. Only problem is you already lost your train of thought.:confused:

I get that way sometimes too. I cried during Bridesmaids..and that's a comedy..I left feeling depressed, lol.

And I have to tell you - I used to live in Germany, lived there 6 years and could never get the language down. At stores I just handed them my money and hoped they were honest, lol. I am sure you are doing great there!!

You know you have PTSD when you alternate between "OMG is it really that time already" to "OMG is thatc all the time is"

You know you have PTSD when your on the bus and go right past your stop TWICE before then asking the bus driver to tell you where to get off. Lol
