Welcome, Linoleum!

Isn't it amazing to finally be someplace where you feel like you finally fit in? When I first got here (which has only been about 2 months ago) I felt like I found a whole community of people that I would trust enough to call my friends. I didn't think I'd ever find people who knew exactly how I felt, had been through some of the same type of traumas, and experienced the same signs - yet I have!

My husband is on the board too (Kim's Man). If you read some of his posts, he says that he saw the difference in my almost immediately and believe me, I felt it. And I must say, it gives me so much hope and has helped me calm many of my symptoms.

I'm with WildFire....try to get your husband on here too. My husband was so glad to hear from other spouses and together they help each other understand and process through what we with PTSD are going through. They have their own forum area, Spouses Only, which only people who are spouses can apply for and be granted admission to (we w/PTSD have our own section too!). My husband goes there and vents (I'm sure) and I can't see it...likewise I go and vent too w/o worrying that he will see it, although we are both very open in our relationship with each other and don't have secrets, per se. I truly believe it's as beneficial for the spouses to hear from other spouses "on the other side of PTSD" as it is for us with it to hear from others who also have it.

Stick around and make yourself comfortable. We're all here for you!
