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 Hello All - Struggling With PTSD for Years
Hello All,

My name is Ian and I have been struggling with PTSD for several years now.
I am trying to move forward with the help of a great Doctor but it has taken me a long time to admit that I am ill and need help. I have lost all my friends and family as a result of the condition. I am a former Royal Marine and Police Officer and am still trying to come to terms with the fact that I can never go back to being that man again !
I will be exploring the site but am a little scared to be honest as I have never discussed any of my issues outside of hospital. Oh well here goes.
Warmest regards all,
Ian.

Bootneck,
I don't think any of us are the same person we use to be. Some are stronger and some weaker. It's all how hard we try or have the ambition to try and get well. Welcome
