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.

It is a learning process Axel. It takes time, it is not something that happens overnight. Additionally, please know that you are never expected to put up with verbal abuse, name calling and so on. You are entitled to set boundaries with your sufferer with regards to their behaviour. You may tell them their words hurt, and remove yourself from the situation, go to another room, go out for a walk, whatever works for you. Usually the sufferer is taking things out on you because you are the closest person to them. It is an old cliche however true, that we always hurt the ones we love most. In any event, welcome to the forum, lovely to have you. Perhaps you would like to share a bit of your situation with us? Take good care.
