Hmm, I have a question -

How does one define a "carer"? Is a "carer" someone who has been with their boy/girlfriend for less than a year and they don't live together?

To me, the word "carer" could mean two very different things here:

1. To care (as in affection) for someone with PTSD
2. To care for, as in, actively helping to manage the sufferers daily life.

The responses to this thread are going to vary significantly between these two individuals.

Best,
Rachel
