Its been around a year since I joined the forum and I'm almost at 1000 posts. Wow, what a year....I've learned so much about PTSD and I am sure there is much more to learn.

I did want to say thank you to all the PTSD sufferers here as you have taught me a lot about PTSD from just sharing your situations, topics and opinions. As for the carers, a big thank you for being there to talk about things which other people do not understand unless they have PTSD in their life.

In conclusion, I believe PTSD is an ugly and terrible illness but beneath it are beautiful people just trying to deal with their altered life due to trauma. Anthony and I are lucky as we interact very well and he does a great job of managing his PTSD. I have learnt to deal with his PTSD in a way which doesn't enable him but still provides him with plenty of love and support, so we live life with more ups than downs. Some of that is due to us and some of it is due to the community here and what it offers! Thanks to everyone.
