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.

Sorry Guys I really need to have a whinge here.
Hubby comes into work I had by mistake transferred some money from one account to another to pay bills. When I realised I had used the wrong account after talking to the bank I told him we will have to use our savings account to cover the house payment with intention of repaying the money in next week when cheques clear.
Well he went off " I hate this business I hate not having money etc!!"
I said dont worry it is fixable the money will go in next week.
He can hate the business as much as he likes but it is not going to go away we are stuck with it for a few years plus I enjoy it so he may as well get used to it.
Anyway the sulks are on tonight I might go and have a game of golf tomorrow because I bet you $10000 bucks he will be sick and wont want to get out of bed after being so stressed this afternoon. I was so cranky today I wish he would give me a bit of credit instead of going of when I make a mistake

Did you tell him that Jen? Perhaps you should, all too often we shut up to keep the peace but feel like screaming from the inside out. Might do him good to hear some home truths!

No Kerri Anne I didnt tell him I feel it will just make him worse.
I was right he has been crook all day today I know if he gets upset over the weekend he wont make it to the clinic on Monday so I am treading lightly I suggested fish and chips down the Strand tomorrow night ( plenty of warning!!) he said if he feels better we will.
How are you going it is getting closer to the big day isnt it?
Jen

Yeah sometimes you have to pick your battles, just don't let him get away with it too often. They are learning about interpersonal relationships on that course so he has no excuses for 'put downs'.

I'm good, fat and happy. Getting excited now plus my mum will be here soon. As soon as I get off my big buddha ass and book her flights!!

Thanks Anthony there are sometimes through the day where I think it may be a good idea for me to jump on the forum and have a whinge I could have done it on Friday now I know I can do it on any computer.

Its weird how it makes you feel better by opening up by typing on a keyboard after we had a run in at work I was thinking I cant wait to get home to let my frustrations out on a computer. I have had good support and phonecalls from family over the weekend at least I know they can see that I am doing ok with the business. Not like Mr Negative.
Some good better come out of this clinic because life cannot not go on how it is at the moment I know it takes time but boy how time flies to.

Dear Kerrie- Ann

Alex and I have two fully grown mangoe trees in our yard... If you send me your address to my jcu email account (tammarra.kielly@jcu.edu.au) I will post some down for you. Apparently they will be ready to be picked in the next two weeks... So by the time they get to you, they should be ripe or pretty close to it!

And you can't possibly be serious about missing this weather. It is way too hot and to sticky. I long for the cold.

Yeh thanks Jods it went ok it was good to relate to what other spouses are going through very similar situations. There was a Pyschologist there with an interesting talk about exactly what PTSD is I am going again next week as it went longer than expected. Nearly had to get the tissues out a couple of times but thats ok.
