You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Ronin]

... You swallow both the sick and bad week down, because pride is a thing and 'hey but I'm good enough'.

 

[Friday]

LMAO! .... And 'I've had worse.' Shrug. :D

 

[Ronin]

:roflmao:Also, when *that* is the precise moment that drags you back to the present.

When you set out the butter, the jam, get a knife and proceed to butter a sponge!!! (Forgot to get the bread out and got distracted by a loud noise.)

 

[Anrish]

When people praise you during sport and you just can't believe it and find other reasons...because deep inside you know that you suck in playing Badminton.

when you start meds supposed to help with ptsd symptoms, and you feel some improvement.... for now

 

[Ronin]

What gets to you about an attack on a loved one is all the bureaucracy and tied hands and not what happened.

 

[Anrish]

...when you feel numb inside but can play the happy and supportive colleague. Afterwards the exhaustion hits you....

 

[amethist]

You panic because you slept a lot longer then normal.

That's what happened to my husband this morning.

You question everything you do online, did I do that right? You reluctantly press "OK" or "SEND" or "delete" or "help" for fear of messing up your computer.

 

[Anrish]

You just don't feel like you deserve to be inside a group - because there will for sure be some problem again.

You feel really hyper today and it is because you are changing meds (mid med change actually). Sleep? What is that??
