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 Abuse From Family
"TomG" from the Midwest USA; I'm over 40, but never lived on my own.

I've had PTSD from infancy due to abuse and neglect by my family; and it only compounded from there, due to blame and labelling of my symptoms, using anything against me-- not just by my family, but by society.

I also had various experience with bullying, with people blaming me when I filed complaints about it. I've never been able to work, I live with my family.

I'm home alone when I'm not in graduate school, where I attend part-time; I'm hoping I can get a job after that, but it's very hard due to the stress, and fear of failure for every possible reason.
