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.

I've turned into such a recluse, feel safe when I'm alone, in my home.

WOW Marc, I'm just like you. I often come home from work on Friday night and don't surface until I need to take my Mom out from the nursing home on Sunday afternoon to come to my house. When I'm home and alone everything feels so comfortable - noise level, temperatures, and lots to do.

The only thing I tend to miss is people. I bury myself in books, beading, art, and music. Sometimes I make a contract with myself to get out of the house and take a walk every day, go to a card store and read funny cards, go sit in a shopping mall or airport to people watch, anything to get me out in the "real" world.

I have real trust issues and it is hard for me to meet people and let them in to get to know me. I hate giving my energy to support my outside mask so people don't catch on to my issues.
