You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Changing4Best]

You're a good Christian and you dream that you end up in Hell! It was awful. I dreamed I was on my way there and then there was just BLACKNESS. It was as if I'd disappeared from myself and been lost forever.

I pray often to the LORD that I not be pulled away from Him. I work hard at forgiving, even my abusers, but it is hard! And then, when I have a dream like this, I wonder... God seems to tell me not to worry, but I always do and then I pray.

Sleeping for 3 hours straight and being happy you got rest.

Not jumping when someone comes up behind you because you know where everyone is.

You avoid most people at most times.

When eating 6 tea spoons is an achievement.

Silly girl. Don't eat the teaspoons. Eat what is in them. (teasing you, my dear friend)

When you choose your family yourself because the one you were born into is rubbish.

This whole thread is AMAZING!

When the worst store is Raleys because they have "great" customer service, which consists of everyone working in the store talking to you THE WHOLE TIME you are there. And the check out clerk is so nice you wonder if he will be stalking you and you are afraid to give him your debit card because he will know your name.

When you find yourself saying things in therapy that you really don't want your T to know so you stop mid-sentence, and she finishes the sentence for you...ugh...why does she have to understand me so well?!?

When you're so sensitive to sound, you don't hear it, you feel it in your whole body.

When you alternate between wanting people to be around you 24-7 and hating everyone in the world within seconds of each other.

When you feel sick at the thought of going to your next trauma therapy session, but even sicker at the thought of not going.

When a dark closet is literally an acceptable place to spend time or sleep.

When your best friend proudly presents you the gift, that you gave her on her birthday. But you haven't got a clue where or when the heck you've chosen and bought this unfamiliar thing!

When actually feeling tired and relaxed makes you worry you might have a concussion.
