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 Intro - Violent Crime
Got triggered and I'm trying to deal with the anger. Sleep is better for me, but sporadic. Hate the deer in the headlights feelings, and the numbness, and the Anger that follows. I know myself well enough to know when I'm not in a good place to be around others. Take Propananol as needed, when I can catch it in time. Otherwise drink too much...if I don't, and that ain't pretty...not combinded w/ the anger. Mostly hurt myself now, stay pretty isolated, although I do reach out.

The history- start with childhood and add that I was the vicitim of a violent crime and the panic attacks started with the death of my husband who was a vet 5 tours nam, was so glad to read that you could catch PTSD from that alone! He died of a massive heart attack at home, never felt so helpless in my life...it has affected both of the childern as well.

It sucks. The condition itself. All the good stuff inside me is still there, but when the triggers come...well I guess I don't need to preach to the choir huh.

Hugs to all of us seeking answers and help...
Gladly
