| | 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 Terry, no mate, I am a New Zealander. But in saying that I got pretty close to Memphis in 1994! Attended the Corvette Nationals (Bloomington Gold) in Springfield, IL. Wild trip! |

Hi
I'm new to this forum. I have visited occasionally. I am a medically retired Senior Prison Officer. I suffer with PTSD as a direct result of a large number of incidents that I dealt with as prison officer. I have been troubled with PTSD for nearly five years now and have been unable to work during that time. I now realise that although I was coping I have had PTSD symptoms for a long time before I became ill.
Regards and wishing you all the best. |

| |  Hi Zilly - I'm new here too
I also worked for the BOP (but I had already been diagnosed with PTSD). But, it did get worse after about 3 years of day-to-day work, body alarms, & situations so, I moved on. Well, welcome :-) | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
