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.

I've got a headache that won't go away today- have cough and cold. Found out yesterday that the bloke that caused trauma might not be out in the community like i thought, but could have be in medium secure mental hospital for the last 16mths.- Not sure how i feel about it. Think i need to find out for sure. Have i been unnecessarily stressing/panicing for no reason all this time? Have i just wasted all that time?

Is there an action you can take to find out his location? When do you feel most unsafe?

Hey Darkskies,

I know that when my wife KNEW her tormenter was locked up, she still had anxiety and explosive episodes. She still broke out in a cold sweat and got the most heartbreaking fearful look on her face every time the doorbell wrang. So don't kick yourself too hard, even the absolute knowledge that they can't get to you doesn't seem to stop those feelings.

Boo -i've contacted victim support via email- i know they talk people through going to court and what happens after sentancing. am awaiting a reply. i've considered phoning up the mental health centre he was meant to be attending and asking them in a sinario situation. i know they couldn't tell me specifically about him because of confidentiality, but maybe they could say what would be likely? It's knawing at me, i don't no whether i'm being rational about it - i think maybe i should hold off calling for now and then if it's still bothering me, consider it again.

Kim's man- when i got told i was sure it would make a difference and thought that the fear would go away, but what you said makes sense. i don't know what difference it would make, if any. i think i would feel relief, i can see what your saying, knowing it and feeling it are two different things.

? i'm looking for the quick fix, when there isn't one.

I am so with you on this. I dropped two classes just last week to help me catch up. I used to be Miss organized and ahead of schedule now I'm like what text book, what subject? Grr. I'm trying to adjust myself and my workload to what I am capable of now...

Today was pretty good. I went FISHING. Did not catch a thing. It was cold and wet. Spent most of the time huddled under a piece of plastic trying to stay dry. Ended up falling asleep (mind you I worked graveyard last night and only got a couple hours sleep before I went in). But fishing, no matter how tired I am is always worth it.

Besides now I am nice and relaxed so hopefully I will be able to sleep later. That would be a treat.

Not so good day. :cuckoo: Missed my respon. at kids school. Slept through it. Isolated much, incl. even from husb. & kids. Son was being annoying. Also, he did something, in my face, that triggered me and I just needed to get away, so I asked husband to take kids shopping after school. He did and took them out to eat and went through the bedtime routine with them. I did kiss them goodnight and I did do some work. Things have improved this evening. Read and printed much on forums, FAQ, announc., Misc. ect. as I comprehend well and my att. last's longer reading print. Feeling deeply grateful for this forum. Sleepy now, hope I can get some sleep. I have 2 pressing concerns eating at me and I don't know what to do but postone them. ttfn
