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 feel for you
I have a similar past, I ended up in the hospital because it all became too much, all the flashbacks and panic attacks and trying to keep it all together. I lost it and tried to commit suicide. That was almost a year ago. Things will get better but you can't rush it, because as you go through therapy the PTSD will cause you to go up and down, I have great days, making progress then one thing happens and it is off to the races, nightmares, panic all that comes back. then I just have to remember my coping mechanisms and use those. I know someone that uses EMDR therapy but in conjuction with other therepies not just alone.

I too have kids, 8 year old boy and 2 year old girl. My 8 year old started having trouble at school about the same time I was having trouble so we have had to work through that too.
