| | 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. |  |

Keep it up, Nugget!
Facing our fears is one of the hardest things we as humans can do, but it's oh, so very important to us and our healing!
Good job, good job! :claps:
Just think, this time next year you'll be looking back on this thinking, "What was the big deal?" |

| | Thanks To All
Thanks Anthony, Piglet,. Tried to start up a few conversations haven a wee bit of trouble in that department ive always been the loner and a hermit I have spent the last fifteen or so years working in the outback of SA,NT,OLD mainly by myself with the attitude that as soon as somebody said hello or wanted to start up a conversation id had enough of them. I could go for weeks without talking then get the shits up real quick when i came back into the city,taffic lights,cars,people just the rat race was enough to make me want to turn around so its ben a massive turn around for me and my wife (jods) christ she has to sleep :smoking:and see me every day now that is one of lifes challenges im still trying to come to terms with (lucky i like her)  so im slowly coming around. So with little steps im slowly inching forward a friend once told me*** ( Point your head in the right direction and your arse will follow )***:moon: |

Hey Nugget,
Got to love your sense of humour and your attitude. Yeah so what if kids can ride the train easy? They don't have PTSD. Its a hurdle but that's 3 times now. Congratulations. |
