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.

Hello Mccrea,
When I was originally diagnosed with PTSD I didn't want to believe it. I was similar to what some of the other members have said, "Be a Man," but believe me, a few years later and a lot of meds and inpatient therapys, that attitude didn't work with me. I had similar problems with my wife as well. We met a married in Germany and I think she had trouble getting used to the idea that I wasn't what she married.
All in all it comes down to healing for yourself as in the end there are only yourself and other people with PTSD that can relate to you. At least thats been my experience. I love my wife but she ca't help me. So I have to help me so our relationship will hold together.
Please come back from the sandbox and immediately get help and don't wait years like I did or 30 years like the Vietnam vets did. You must search out the system because it won't come looking for you.

Bro in arms
