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 Tupence,

Welcome aboard. Yep... doobie is a lovely woman, and I had a great chat with her the other day on the phone. You most certainly have support here, that is for sure. I can't actually say I have anniversaries, which in some aspects, I think is great, as my traumas are all military operations, none of which I honestly remember the days, as even caring what day it was, was the least of one's issues generally at that time.

That must be pretty hard actually, and something I myself haven't really thought about I guess, as I don't have them, but having days where specific trauma occured, burnt into the memory along with the trauma... yuk! I don't think I would actually like remembering days for myself, as there where just so many things that went on... I would have to have bad months as anniversaries. Even yukier.... the thought sends tingles down my spine.

Anyway, we are here for you, and glad you found us. Look forward to chatting with you tupence.
