| | 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. |  |

| |  Hi, Glad I Found This Forum
Hi everyone, I'm 38 years old, diagnosed w/PTSD two years ago. At the time, everything started making sense to me through therapy, but I had to drop therapy due to the loss of my health insurance and I'm no where NEAR getting through this. This forum will be a good start I'm sure. |

Rowdydog,
Well hopefully this will help. To be started down the road to recovery and then stopped must be the hardest. Sounds as bad as having a cigarette but no lighter. Welcome this is available 24/7 and the writing is good for us.
See you around,
Patty |

Hi everyone, haven't been here lately. My boss is watching out for me. Anyhow. Things are getting worse for me, drinking, depression, and I think it's affecting my daughter (she's 18). I feel like I'm at the end of my rope but I'm hanging on. Don't like hanging on though. |

Until about 4 months ago, I was drinking every night after work. My depression is still sometimes so powerful I feel as if the air is being sucked out of my lungs. So I very much understand where you are. Reading your posts and those of others is helping to shine some light for me. I didn't think I'd post here more than once, but I keep coming back. The fact that you've written here is a sign of hope and strenght. And it helps open the world at bit for me. Good luck to you. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
