Hi Anthony,
I just wrote to Nugget. I'll probably write the same thing to you if that's ok.
I'll be in Sydney in October- if there's any chance to discuss this over the phone or in person.
My boyfriend has ptsd and survived something horrendous 6 years ago. He had numbed it all out with drugs, then pot. And then left his country to get away from it i guess. Anyway- he started up therapy in may because apathy was creeping into our relationship. all of his demons are pouring out of him. panic attacks, vomitting, body rashes.He's going through hell and thinks he' going crazy. He has shut down emotionally.
I guess I want to know- how do partners deal with this?
Did you have similar experience?
I just don't want to lose him and
I really don't know what to do to help him. i dont want to leave him. Do you know of anything I can do , or do you know of any websites, contacts, anything I can do to help him. I really dont want to lose him through this process. I know the therapy is working (EMDR etc)
And I just want him to have some peace.
Jodie
