Ho Ho! Me too! I am like a huge oaf forever walking into things. I think it is because our brains on alert for danger and you don't worry so much about the minor stuff. Certainly i am much worse when i am hyper aleret. Like just now for example.

I break soooooo many glasses/mugs/plates etc

I am always covered with bruises.....

I vote for dissociation and/or anxiety and/or concentration problems. Since my symptoms started, I began to get clumsier than I'd ever been - meds or no. When I'm really anxious, like now, I get so shakey, it's easy for me to drop things, stumble into or over things, etc. Like many here have said, I seem to always have bruises and I'm not aware of how I got them. I'll walk around the house and forget how I got somewhere - that's dissociation, I think. I have to be careful about how I'm feeling before I take walks alone because when I'm dissociating I don't think to look before crossing streets - very scary. I'm normally very vigilant about those things.

Before my symptoms, I think I was actually rather graceful...very athletic, coordinated, and in good control of my muscles and movements. I even enjoyed walking on balance beams, or the equivalent, up until a few years ago (and I'm in my mid-40s!), as long as they weren't too high off the ground, since I've always had vertigo when up too high. I can still swim, but then water is so much more forgiving than air.

I am always shaking and dropping stuff, and when it starts to drop from my hands it triggers me and I get startled and damn near end up throwing whatever it is in an effort to keep from dropping it. It's embarrassing.

I've stopped counting the number of times I have dislocated my left pinky toe. I walk into corners and do a lot of the other stuff people have posted in this thread.

Oh my goodness... I can't believe I'm not alone with this one. I bump into to things, misplace my keys all the time. Put things in places that I claim I won't forget, yeah right... I forget! My memory is the worst for things like keys, important papers. Can't go grocery shopping without a list, not even if I'm just shopping for a few things, if I go for 3 items I will remember 2.

Ooooh! Shopping! me too! Always guaranteed to forget one thing. List essential. Keys are constantly lost.

I am amazed to discover so many of us have coordination issues. We must be allowing our minds to wander all the time. I can't walk for the top floor to the bottom floor of our townshouse without forgetting why I went down stairs...Now that is bad. Forget from room to room.

I can't remember where I put things and am always hitting my feet or elbows or knees or something causing the ouch response.

We seem to be a group of people who can not walk and chew gum at the same time

Oh, Sparky and Irton, the key (and wallet and checkbook) thing was a constant problem for hubby, who does not have PTSD, until I placed a small table right near the door and made him get into the habit of putting his keys and wallet and checkbook there every time he came into the house. There's been a huge improvement. Instead of this being a daily occurrence (I am not making this up!), it now only happens once in a great while. I've done the same thing for years. We each have our own separate spots for these things in the front hallway. It continues to work very well for me, even now with PTSD.

And shopping lists? Me three! We keep a running list in the kitchen and whenever one of us notices we're low on something, we add it to the list. It really helps us to not forget things. (The other good thing about shopping lists is they can help prevent impulse buying:).)

The list thing is a great idea. I do them all the time... Then I forget the damn list and get to the store and stand there like an idiot wondering what I needed to get... UGH!!!!!!!

I have a calendar on my refrigerator that EVERYTHING I need to do, appointments, and such gets marked down. Somedays I actually LOOK at it.

Now if someone would just help me to STOP walking into things, I might be able to go bruise free for a few days....LOL!!!!!

me too!!!!!!! I have never once actually gotten to the store with the list I made!

I only have one bruise on my upper thigh currently - I'm sure I've just jinxed myself.
