(pawing through the Hallmark cards) (muttering) where's the "i scored over my dr's diagnostic criteria for PTSD" section?
#more accurately cptsd but im american so im not allowed to have that as a real diagnosis#anyway i talked at length with my therapist about how i never know how to answer a lot of the ptsd screening questions#but i did my best not to minimize my symptoms---i have strikingly little memory of childhood#im frequently interrupted by thoughts of my childhood or parents#i will go way out of my way to avoid things that remind me of said childhood#etc#like i cant tell you how many times a day my brain does the equivalent of ramming a bowl of smelling salts under my nose#but i just never mentioned it bevause. i mean how do you do that.#how do you explain 'i saw a truck that looked a little like my dad's earlier and it ruined my day'#'oh did your dad do something to you or did something bad happen in the truck?'#'uh .... not .... really...?'#anyway idk. it was sort of a relief to hear i scored over the You Are Fucked Up threshold
