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.

Certain musty odors I can smell on some men can set me right over the edge . The smell of a wildfire is another one. Smell is one of the strongest triggers for me .

Default me too
Yes, I smell the same odd smells unexpectedly too. Especially on my hands - a strong metallic, sour smell. I've asked my ex & my current spouse to smell my hands & they said they didn't smell anything weird & that it's just in my mind. I also get disgusted by eating noises - I can't be around anyone that is making them nor can I stand to listen to myself. I will actually swallow a particularily noisy bite whole to avoid the disgusting noises. This drives my husband nuts! I'm not sure why this bothers me. I could be wrong but, I think I'm associating eating noises with sexual ones & it totally grosses me out! Maybe the weird smell is the same thing too? It's strange but, I guess I'm with you too!

Hey 9! Isn't it amazing how much we all have in common AND even more important is the fact we can discover that the things we can't explain are not as odd or different as we thought. From reading the post I also have found that a lot of us don't know what the smell is or where it comes from or why we smell out smells at all. What do they represent? Better yet, do we really want to know what these smells really mean. Will we ever know? Does it really even matter if we do find out. But it is for sure we are all in the same boat RIGHT!
