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.

Hi Jen

I'm really glad to hear that you had a good time away with your hubby.
Bugga about the speeding fine. That's not bad if it's your first one in 31 years.
I was only in nappies when you got your license!

Hi Jen
Just a thought- ok while away from trauma/stress. Started to feel like crap again once he was back to "reality"? :dont-know
As long as YOU felt like you had a break, then it was worth it.

Ummm...... sounds something like the reason why I needed to get out of Townsville... being the constant trigger of the military presence.

Coming on to this forum I am learning about PTSD a fair bit and what you said Anthony is making me think and starting to notice things. As soon as he started to get crook I thought their is definitely a reason for that to have happened as he hasnt been away from home for ages?

Hi Anthony I was just talking to Martha and she said the same as you. Maybe its the Army memories?
Do you think he will learn to control this?

Nope... he hasn't yet. I couldn't, and I knew I couldn't. The constant helicopters flying on roof tops, overhead, fighters, vehicles, rifle fire, etc etc etc... not a chance in hell.

All the guys I know that are still in Townsville with PTSD, are all still a total mess and still using alcohol to drown their memories. I knew I had to get out in order to give myself some sanity, and it was confirmed by doing so.

But he will sit and watch things on TV relating to the Military if there was something on Somalia he will sit and watch it.
I was talking to Martha again ( she keeps in touch with emails) she said there is a lot that he is not talking about yet. In the clinic he sits up in the corner behind everyone I asked him about this he said he likes to be able to see everyone? She thinks maybe he is not comfortable with a female counsellor she is going to talk to him about this.
