| | 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. |  | |

Matt had his first visit out with a student Social Worker today. Somehow his therapist has managed to wrangle one on one time out in the world for him! So his SW picked him up from school. They went to the Terry Fox Memorial and had a bite to eat at Wendy's. Matt had a great time! He really enjoyed it. I am hoping that this will help him with his agoraphobia somewhat.
Therapy is going well, although, major concern has come up. Matt is struggling with suicidal thoughts. He and the therapist have worked on an action plan for him to help him cope and work through the thoughts. However, I am concerned that his medication is contributing to this. He's not due to see his psych for almost another month. Matt is very secretive about this aspect of his PTSD, which isn't helping, as I don't know how often it is taking place. To say the least I am concerned, although glad his therapist is now aware (thanks to me, I told her) and they are working on it.

That must be worrisome for you Bec. I do hope it all works out, I am glad the therapist is aware so that they may keep an eye on Matt. Suicidal tendencies are nothing to fool with, as I'm certain you are aware. |

I cannot even begin to imagine this horror. Bec, do keep close. You are in my prayers and I will be there as much as I can. Having this and having that fear. Dealing with your own thoughts and your babies... Maybe why lack of response, who can get this? |
