Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Hi Kathy

I really enjoyed the time away.
It was hard on hubby, but we knew it would be. I'm so proud of him for trying hard & keeping it together so I could have a good time. Just makes me love him even more to know that he broke way out of his comfort zone for me. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband.

I am not 100% at the moment (head cold) so please forgive me if I'm not around for a week or so. Just need a bit of rest.

Glad to hear Evie is home & has a job. Good on her!

Hope that you & Jim are doing well. Just promise me that the both of you will take the time to do something special together, even if it's only going out for coffee.

Take care.

Oh I am so pleased that your trip went well jods. Yes, you husband sounds wonderful, like he's really trying hard to work on himself. Evie tries to work on herself most times also. It really makes things a lot easier all round.

Sorry to hear you are ill, Jim and I have just recovered from some virus which kept hanging on, so we know the feeling. Thank you for reminding us to do something together. We are busy packing for our move, but we may go out for dinner tonight.

Take care jods.

Can you ask Rob whilst at it, seen as though he made it through everything and nothing bad happened to him, did he find a new boundary for himself in what he can achieve and should not have to concern himself over being uncomfortable?

Good question.

Since we had been to Hobart before, we sort of knew our way around so hubby had already decided his safe zones for when he was starting to feel overwhelmed. He wasn't afraid to use them either.

He had set himself little goals that he wanted to do while we were away & managed to achieve them.

In my person observation of hubby was for once he wasn't shy in saying, stuff it I need a break & took it.(We were traveling with another couple). To me that showed that he knew his limits for each day & when his cup got full, he told me & did what he could to calm himself down so he didn't crash the next day.

Jods, I hope you had a good birthday! I just found out from Evie that it was your birthday not so long ago. Evie is the birthday queen, she seems to know everyone's special day by heart, whether they want it rememebered or not! In any event, I do hope it was happy.
