You Know You Have PTSD When...

When you're so exhausted, your body starts to hurt in places you never thought of.

When you come out of the ER and you weep at the suffering and hurts of others(at home)...

When you have nothing else to say...

When you are so angry, you don't cry but scream and yell and curse and throw things around...

When the smallest sounds wake you up for no good reason....
 
When you can't go to sleep and sleep through the night without being wrapped up in a blanket or something big enough to cover your whole body.

When, if the blanket or jacket or whatever you're using to wrap yourself up in for the night is not big enough shifts during the night and you wake up because you feel the edge of the blanket on your leg and wake up from it.

When your hypervigilant senses are not just one or two (like seeing and hearing) but all, and, just to give an example, a tiny cobble stone the size of a bread crumb feels like a piece of glass in your shoe and a hair on your shoulder feels as if you've just lost your pony tail.
