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.

Hey Jods a box of chockies would make me very happy as well no I am not a flowers girl at all. I am really good at letting flowers die before their time. My poor pot plants dont have much hope at all. A friend once gave me a fern and said you cant kill them they grow anywhere poor fern had no chance at my place:)

Well here we are again a lovely day outside I have been doing my yearly cyclone clean up outside before I go and have a game of golf. I make so much noise outside his bedroom window surely he can hear me banging and crashing outside.
But its weird I am cranky that he wont get out of bed but in another way I dont want his help and I dont need his help.I know if he got out of bed before his time he would be painful so he can stay in there as far as I am concerned.

Hi Jen
Enjoy your golf game!
I swear its the weather or last nights full moon. My hubby has hit his wall today too. I told him to go & lie down in our room.
I think he may have had too much of a full-on week & now its catching up with him. The funny thing is that HE feels guilty for not being able to function for the day. I told him the best thing he can do is go & rest because today is the only day he will be able to.
Enjoy your time away from your hubby & have some fun!

Hi Jods thanks for your well wishes. Sounds like your hubby may have just needed a rest after all the excitement.
Weird isnt it how they cant cope with things like they used to?

Hi Jen
I know what you mean. I suppose the hard part for us is that things we do everyday (get up,shower,eat, leave the house etc) is hard for them.
I admit that I tend to forget that, especially if hubby seems to be having a "good" day. I have to remember that if he's done too much it takes about 2/3 days to recover.

Hi Jods thats right apparently the everyday things are hard for them to do and when hubby is having a good day which doesnt happen much anymore I tend to get all excited and probably push him to far to ask for his help with things.
I am still having trouble understanding how it can be to hard for him to want to do anything I relly hope things change in the near future as I am not going to spend the rest of my life like this!
