| | 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. |  | |

| | Batgirl, glad to hear you're doing better. Sleep is our body's way of helping in the healing process, so don't fight it. Do what you have to to get better and then worry about coming here to post.
Jim, glad to have you here. It'll help both you and Batgirl. My husband posts on this site occasionally, but he reads much more! He is educating himself in the whys of my actions due to PTSD and I hope you are doing the same. |

| | Oh and I'm taking a break from the forum again... I shouldn't have been on here so soon after my discharge from hospital anyways, but as usual I am stubborn and thought it wouldn't hurt. However, I've been getting these wicked nightmares now (worse than usual), for the last couple of days. So I'm signing off until Tuesday or Wednesday I think. |

| | Well I'm back after my short break. Going for my MRI this afternoon.
My uncle left for CFB W. about an hour ago. It's an army base. He's going to be there for a couple of days. Something to do with deploying... then he'll come back here. So it's just me and my auntie now. We're hoping to do some girl stuff while he's gone, although I'm still not feeling too well.
I'm really upset about him being deployed. Been having nightmares about it... in the nightmares I'm in Afghanistan, and my uncle gets shot by some terrorists, or blown up in a bomb. Then sometimes my uncle turns into my dad and is shooting me and my auntie, or trying to. We're all in my father's old house on the base, and I can't get out, all the doors are locked, and it's dark and the light switches don't work. So I'm trapped. The scariest thing for me though is that in the dreams, I'm now looking for a gun myself!! So that I can kill the terrorists or kill my uncle, respectively. Anyways, scary scary stuff. |

You've been very ill. Still are for christ's sake. Those fights we had were only arguments, and not nearly as bad as you are making them out to be. You are exaggerating, my girl. Please stop apologizing and beating on yourself.
| Wow really?? They seemed like really big fights to me. I'm glad they're not so bad. I will try harder to not be so hard on myself. Anyways see you when you get back haha. |

| | Batgirl, just reading this post. You mentioned the weight loss. Get the doc to put you on Remeron. Its for depression. My doc said "You might see some weight gain". Shoot, I gained 12 pounds in 8 days and didn't change my eating habits. Glad you feeling better. Take care of yourself Uncle Jim. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
