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.

Default Ask More Questions - Post More Polls
Hello everyone, I have been looking at the carers section and lot recently and also read a post of Anthony's about the Polls section on here. I wanted to encourage you to ask more questions and use the Poll section as much as you want to. The Polls section is a great way of getting an answer to some of the puzzling symptoms people with PTSD experience. I understand as a carer you must have loads of questions all the time, it must be extremely frustrating. The symptoms are a puzzle to most of the sufferers themselves too and we are also sometimes unwilling or unable to admit them. The Polls section is somehow less emotional and will give you a more straightforward answer. Of course I'm not saying all your questions will all be answered but you might learn more about PTSD and how that works in your own personal situations.

Good idea Claire. Have some questions myself. However. Prefer to let the wife do all the work. ;-) To be serious, she writes better than yours truly.

Jim.

While Kathy does write very well with much knowledge and compassion, I personally think you have a great way of expressing yourself Jim and I often have a chuckle

I agree. The Polls section is perfect for you too Jim. Less emotion and more factual
