You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Brad1980]

You turn on the oven to make pizza, walk out of the room, comeback in and wonder why the oven was on,shut it off, walk out and back in put pizza in the oven and wonder why it didn't cook

You go to the grocery store to buy pancake mix, you spend 160 dollars and forgot the pancake mix

And furthermore, she tore pages out of a book that belongs to you and that you were reading intently quite often while there.

So you tear the backside out of her pyjamas....:D:devilish:

Or safety pin her meds into her pocket, from the inside! :ninja:

Your partner says you can foster a dog, rather than own one, but when the time comes he reneges.

So you start thinking of friends who would loan you a horse to put in the back yard as revenge.

And then your mum actually thinks your idea was VERY funny......but won't lend you hers!

You go into Wal Mart by yourself and consider it an accomplishment that you were able to walk out under your own power. Although with the amount of shaking the buttermilk I was looking at for frybread may be just butter and milk now....

 

[Brad1980]

You are sitting in your car in the driveway not knowing whether you were leaving or getting home only to remember you left your phone in the and had come to get it

 

[Only 1 of me]

When you get anxious about whether or not you have remembered to take your anti anxiety meds

When you can tell that your therapist has moved one book in his bookcases but can't figure out which one, then realise you've spent 10 minutes analysing the bookcase but can't let it go till you've worked it out. Then reading upside down that your therapist has written "seems agitated, vacant affect" .

When you go to a friends house, use the bathroom and get completely freaked out because she has changed the position of a towel rail....

When they call you from the local food-store and tell you that you forgot your credit card in the store, but you get very confused and think they are calling the wrong person, since you can't remember going in there that day- despite the fact that it was only two hours ago you were there.. :D

Sorry friends, no really fun ones here.
When those in your family don't sneak up on you after your sister in law poked you by surprise and you jumped so hard everything in the (full of people) kitchen shook and you turned to fight. Luckily only she and my brother saw my face.

When no one has ever physically fought with you because you have a latent readiness for violence in defense about you.

When Law and Order SVU doesn't really phase you but going to an embarrassing humor movie you leave to use the bathroom over 7 times and shake a little on the drive home.

When you power read through a 7 book series with a rape (killed the person that hurt them) in the third book twice in a month since you first read the books to feel anger and vengeance and read that life goes on.

When no one in your close family expects you to remember birthdays, or anything generally because you forget everything.

I thought I was the only one having that problem!! I really can't look when there are embarrassing things happening.. I feel sick to my stomach and really anxiety if I do. I always wonder why..

Yes, go to a restaurant with live music, which is bad, and you leave your meal, slink home and pull the covers over your head.
