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 Greetings! Living With PTSD
My name is Steve, I would like to introduce myself. I have been living with PTSD for the past 5 years, but like many have tried dealing with it alone.

Last year, I realized that this was not just going to "go away", and it wasn't just affecting me but my family as well. I finally sought help which was very hard for me to do because of my career.

It's been really hard and that is an understatement but I am trying to get the help I need but my history,ego or pride has stood in the way for a very long time.

I hope I may find some new friends here and maybe some good advice along the way. I also hope that the last 5 years that I feel have been lost to this disease, I may be given the chance to get back. I also hope that I may be able to help others who may have dealt with this the same wrong way as I have.

Anyways, thank you for allowing me to post here.

Welcome to the forum Dog. I am new here as well. Lots of information here.

The only advice I have is...just remember that you are not alone.
