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 Can't Take Much More - The Nightmares are Terrible
how long does it take for the crazies to go away
I'm so tired of wakeing up screaming and hitting and kicking my poor husband. I spend the nights wakeing the floor till dawn "I call it the night monsters" when I see some-one with a hoodie on. I can't move my feet want to run but my body won't. my head can't hear Tom speak to me! all I can do is stand there and wait for the man to rob the clerk.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop... This feeling that some-one is behind me is making me jumpier that a cat in a room full of rocking chairs..I can't even rember to change my clothes with out being reminded.NO I DON'T WANT TO DIE! but I do want my life back when I enjoyed the most was making people smile,I want to be that happy person again.
I want my grandkids to spend the night like they use too.
I want the man who did this to me to say he's sorry!!!
I want the screaming in my head to SHUT-UP
I was the person that handled anything and everything the one others came to for advice.now I'm learing to read and write again. my speech is slurred now.

You will be surprised just how much you can take actually Sally. Your feeling from the symptoms only, instead you need to be looking at the core of the problems. What really is an apology going to do for you if you don't believe it yourself? Your life is not going to just change, you have to do a lot of work on yourself to make it change, to go after what your wanting above....
