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.

Computers and antiques, you girls are lucky, my vice is CARS and CAR PARTS! Take up a lot more room and a lot more unsightly when they are wrecks!! (....vent....). But I suppose I should be grateful they are mostly outside. Yes, I said MOSTLY....

I should also add that this wa a pre-PTSD "matter", only it is more out of control now. Oh well, could be worse, I know that.

I agree that the men should get together and get us an envious lifestyle... Sounds good to me! Alex has actually put away most of the junk now as his family is coming for dinner on Christmas Eve- thank heavens fro small miracles...
And Bella, he also wants to buy a car (a shitter as he calls them) and do it up, but thankfully we are renting and are not allowed to have an unregistered car on the premises- another of those small miracles.

ahaha, a "shitter" must be a NSW word. Over here the boys call them "bunkies"

Glad to hear some of the mess has miraculously been tidied up. I imagine it made him feel good once he had done it too.

So you are hosting dinner on Christmas Eve, that is semi-exciting (or not.. LOL). I hope that Alex is in a frame of mind that he doesn't let that overwhelm him. Sorry to assume, but I don't know how "stable" or "content" he is right now... or much about him at all. All I know is if we were having my hubby's family over we would BOTH be freaking out!

Hope you all have a nice time.

Alex is actually pretty good about his family coming here... the only stress we both have is his Nan; as Pop passed away in Feb and this is her first Christmas without him... The rest of Alex's family will probably just eat, drink and leave...
Not sure about shitters being a NSW term as I lived in QLD my whole life until June and thats what they always were to me as well...

Well Alex and I are still going well, however we ended up fighting about the whole ebay thing... HE put a bid on something we don't really need and he won- YAY! Only problem is he doesnt remember the password for the paypal account and we are still wating for the email to remind him of what it is... He told me this is my fault because I didnt set the account up for him... Even though I have set up a book for him to write down the usernames and passwords fr everything- and he didnt write it in there.
We have decided now to set up the account in my name so that I can remember the password! ANd this also means I can keep track of what he is buying as he will need to ask me for the password...
Hope every one had a wonderful holiday season!!!
Tammy

Hang in there Tammy. It's so typical of them isn't it? But your patience is admired and respected. And of course probably without letting you know, Alex appreciates it a lot too.

Good luck with the ebay thing Tammy!
Hubby went way out of control last year and bought so much CRAP that we didnt need.
He was obsessed with it then he hit the wall with a few other problems and now he hardly goes near it!
