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.

Default Hi, I'm New - Husband Has PTSD From Time in Bosnia
Hi
My name is Kim and i'm from Scotland MY husband Scott has PTSD from his time in Bosnia.
Im finding it really difficult just now trying to cope with things and i feel like im waliking on eggshells all the time. He is not violent just withdrawn and in his own world most of the time.
He was due to start his third course of therapy onFriday and he went but i had to phone him to come back on Saturday morning as i have hurt my back.
We have two boys called Callum and Cameron.
It would be good to chat with others in the same situation.
Kim.
