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.

Thanks veiled, I'm happy I've been the indirect "cause" of this, but I hope I'm not also causing any unnecessary pain or whatever. I was a bit worried about triggering people when I joined this forum. But I've been triggered myself and it's been okay so it's all good! :)

Thanks again for your comments Anthony, they're great... finally something I can relate to!!! I wish there were people like you in our local trauma support group. I feel like I understand my father a bit better now. And I'm really glad that you think the majority of therapists are idiots too lol. I have always thought that.

Thanks Batgirl for sharing on this forum. Your situation is evidently drawing unique comparisions to Anthonys and your Dads shared experience of military deployment. I am thanking you because it makes my husband concentrate on his own healing a bit more. He worries about the people on this forum but sometimes he needs to get on with his own business of healing.

Wow. I never thought my sharing would help other people heal. But I guess the reverse is true. I'm getting help from reading other people's stories. Anyways it makes me glad I shared.

The hard part... How long and the time it takes to see the things as plain as the nose on your face! Some things, or most are just like that with PTSD. At least for me.

ETA- Batgirl I think you really have what it takes to kick this shit square in the ass. Not that you won't fall on it every now and then, but you got the right stuff.

Thanks... that makes me feel good. I'm definitely not going to give up without a fight.

ETA... haaa. I guess because I am so spaced out and exhausted right now, I looked and looked at that acronym, thinking hmmm?? Estimated Time of Arrival? European Technical Approval? Environmental Transport Association? Then finally I figured out it must be Edited to Add lol. Maybe I should go back to bed!! :sleep:

And just so you know, I totally agree with veiled on the sense you have what it takes to really kick the shit out of PTSD and win. I believe you actually have the ability to heal quite fast batgirl, because you reason logic very well.

Well thanks again. I mustn't have much confidence in myself because I don't see it at all. I just see that it's been over 5 years of struggling and I am still not "fixed". I still want to be who I was before all this happened. I know that's not realistic but I'm having trouble letting go of it.

Anyway I appreciate all the encouragement. I am trying.
