You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Changing4Best]

When you're almost 20 years into treatment and still make HUGE mistakes... :(

We all stumble, Prime-no, it is a fact of life! Don't let it get ya down.

 

[p-no]

Thank you, Sheila. Very kind of you.

When you keep wondering if what you said might have been taken the wrong way, interpreted as nasty or you worry that someone thinks you have been trying to get them in trouble by something they said to you....

You make a post on your FaceBook page asking anybody who drops by to like the post so you know if anybody is reading your posts. A week passes and you don't have a single like except your spouse.

Meaning not a single "friend" actually takes the time to read your posts or take ANY interest in your life.

"Oh... hello depression, where have you been"? :(

When you wear a nut that has no threads on a chain around your neck as fashion jewlery because it reminds you of YOU

-When Terminator 2 is your favorite feel good family movie.
-When you can explain why each family member's suicide plan is flawed but don't correct them.

Now that was funny!

. . .when you can swerve to avoid a deadly car accident without even a slight increase in your heart rate, but Little House on the Prairie scares the crap out of you.

When you're out in the countryside walking the dog & there's a helicopter circling overhead - "You're invading my personal space".:D

I knew a fellow who was PTSD and could tell you that helicopters were on the horizon before you could even hear or see them. He even knew how many!

-you pack your bags to go to the psych hospital more often than you pack to go on vacation

LoL I finally found a place where it's OK to be me and not worry about coming here tomorrow and have everyone ignore me or blocked me...I feel I belong ... Thank you!

...but realize at the bus stop that you are an hour early. :banghead:

I always take a book, a notebook and music. I did this a few weeks ago because I couldn't remember the appointment time, and ended up reading my book while waiting on the T to arrive. By the time she turned up I really wanted to read my book instead of therapy. Still, it's better to be an hour early and enjoying a good book, than be late and told to go home :rolleyes::nailbiting:.
