You Know You Have PTSD When...

[Recovery4Me]

When you 'read' somewhere that isolation is one of those PTSD things and you go,"Oh ya'." Because you have been living that way so long...it just feels like part of you and enjoyable in the lack of pretense. So it really doesn't matter...

You know you have ptsd when you are the only one arguing with yourself.

All the time and I usually lose. Lol

 

[Forgetful]

When you try to light a cigarette with your phone.

When your tendency to learn from past mistakes is actually self-sabotaging.

When your daughter's friends father won't drive her home in a snowstorm and you're immediately convinced it's because he hates you and your kid. And everything in the world is your fault.

Can anyone spell paranoia?

Can anyone spell paranoia?

If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention, missing the big picture, or both. :sneaky::hug:

(But if everything in the world were your fault? I'd have a lifetime of things I'd loove to discuss.)

@Cashew You make me laugh. Thank you I needed that.

When you merely exist but do not actually live

 

[Recovery4Me]

When your roommates are plucking your last nerve with their level of music & TV noise
and you start to shake but then remember your ear plugs and range ears...and keep hunkered down in your room until you chill.:devilish:

When just getting out of bed and getting ready for the day involves one too many panic attacks.

 

[BlackbirdSinging]

When you sleep 7 hours during the night and end up taking a nap for 2 hours during the afternoon the next day. Where for the first hour and a half you keep waking up and falling asleep. And for the rest of your nap you finally fall asleep for about 45 minutes. And then have a nightmare.

When you can't control your emotions?
