We have info on meds in the information section. I have been on almost every med out there (not fun). Beta blockers not one but if I understand right they are for the panic attacks (I know about classes of meds I took)? My blood pressure is normally "low" and only gets nasty during the attack so would not be good for me. Antidepressants, I have seen here a few that respond well, but as a whole no. I am in the "bad reaction group" I became worse. Pulling me off because of it I was very close to my end as withdrawals made it even worse. This place saved me.

I know I am sincere with those I care for. I can and do love my husband, I am just not good at showing it. Only you know her well enough to know if she is sincere. Seeing your pain and understanding it, most certainly. That has got to be the top reason we actually push people away. We do not want to put this on those we care for.

Comorbid disorders are the norm. It really is over using lables. As those other disorders normally would not be there if PTSD did not exsist in that person. So depression, alcoholisim, addiction, PD, OCD, phobias... list goes on, are very normal PTSD symptoms.

Having PTSD does not mean you cannot have a family. You can actually have a good homelife after the treatment and healing get going. If she hits it hard and seriously you can within as early as a couple years. We will not win mom of the year, but not everyone does that are normal. I do better than my normal mom :)

Relationships take work with us no doubt, but I think once you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel together instead of giving up it proves more rewarding. I am much happier than I could ever be. My husband and I have put a lot of work in this and we are not so quick to let it go.
