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.

Well, I'm here. I really don't have much to say beyond what everyone here has said. My husband is an Iraqi combat vet. He has PTSD and depression. I deal with clinical depression and maybe a little PTSD from the events surrounding the birth of our daughter, but that has been long enough ago now (11 years) that it's really just the genetic clinical depression.

He and I get into fights. He says something, that I remember and when a similar situation comes up, I go with what he said before. Then he blows up at me and really gets bad. He's on meds and we're trying to get him in with a doc again, but looks like not till the end of the month.

Times I just don't know what to do.

Hello Yellow Bug! I live about an hour and a half from you and My son is medically retired from the Army after an IED attack. I also probably have mild PTSD, but it seems to be under control most of the time and not destroying my life, where as I'm afraid that my sons PSTD is understandably MUCH worse! He won't admit to anything being wrong and I would LOVE it if he would make an appointment to see a doc! It's so frustrating to stand by and try to help, when there is very little you can do.
