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 My Guy Has PTSD From The Services
Howdy, Y'all!



My wonderful man has PTSD due to trauma experienced during his time in service. He's a truly wonderful man, but the PTSD symptoms are sometimes troublesome for us. He has the horrific nightmares and also rages (occasionally). Mostly, he's the most wonderful man I've ever known, but the PTSD issues present some challenges, and I have come here to learn more about PTSD so that I can deal with the issues more effectively. I know I can't heal him, but I can choose how to respond, and hopefully I can do so more effectively.

I have some newbie questions, and I'm really not sure where to post them, so I'll post here and perhaps someone can help. First, how long does one remain in moderation, typically? There are a couple of posts I think I made, which I thought were appropriate that have not shown up. And now I'm not sure which threads they were in or whether I actually posted them. I think it is great that this board keeps out the spammers, as some boards are ruined by them. And I know that the board administrators have lives, so I'm not complaining about that, but as I started to make a comment in a post today, I stopped and wondered if I'd already made a comment there - a blonde moment of not being able to remember what contributions I have in the pipeline. *blush* Anyhow, that is why I was wondering. Secondly, I got a question in a thread that I thought would be better answered in a private message, but I cannot figure out how to do that. Most boards have that feature, and probably this one does too, if I can find it. I've perused the site looking for where/how/etc., to no avail. Then it occurred to me that perhaps I can't find the feature because I'm in moderation? Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for how to do it? Thank you all for your consideration. I'm learning more and more each day as I dig deeper into this site. It truly helps me understand my wonderful man and what drives some of the behavior that used to leave me completely baffled, and for that you have my deepest gratitude. Cowgirl

Welcome to a whole world of blonde moments. I've been having them so long that I can call them senior moments.
