| | 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. |  | |

| | Yep Anthony thats him I love his bedside manner
I got out of bed this morning hubby is still in his bed in the same clothes that he crawled into bed last night. We sleep in separate rooms I am not going to sit around here all day I know he wont get out of bed until lunchtime. I am going out for the day. I am not being selfish am I?
I dont want to put my life on hold waiting for him to get out of bed to sit around the house all day?

| | Jen,
No point sitting around the house if your husband is just feeling sorry for himself. You will just get annoyed at him and feel like you have wasted the day. I am sure the sun would be shining in Townsville, in fact it is even shining here in Melbourne!!! You can't always be responsible for him. |

| | Yeh I know I have support from you guys and I wont let him drag me down with him. But it gets bloody hard sometimes. I came home and he had cooked tea which was nice.
I said to him that I dont like it when he cant even take his clothes of to go to bed he said he just didnt feel well. And I thought shut up Jen let it rest so I did! Its not worth getting all worked up over is it? The weather is great at the moment Kerri Anne starting to warm up.

Jen | Anthony has done that many of times Jen. It used to annoy the crap out of me but now I just let it slide. Its one less thing to argue about and its really nothing in the scheme of things. What did you get up to today? |

| | Six weeks Jen and yep Anthony will be at the birth. He gives me that kind of sqeamish look when I mention it but he has seen a lot worse than a birth...anyhow he was at his eldest son's and Alexanders.......he should be used to it!! Besides, its not like they do any of the real hard work anyway. |

| | He he he he.... I actually thought the Bronco's where going down, as Storm have been the better team all season, but then the Bronco's have also never lost a Grand Final either, six from six, which was in their favour, and the more experienced to the pressures of Grand Final day. I am a Queenslander, so you already know who my favourite is... Bronco's. But I did think Storm was gonna kick em, and would have liked it if they did... because I thought they deserved the win more for their efforts throughout the season. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
